Q 10.  A large open tank has two holes in the wall. One is a square hole of side L at a depth h from the 
top and the other is a circular hole of radius R at a depth 4h from the top. When the tank is 
completely filled with water, quantities of water flowing out per second from both holes are the 
same. Then R is equal to

Q 11.  Two identical cylindrical vessels with their bases at the same level each contain a liquid of density 
?. The area of either base is A but in one vessel the liquid height is h1 and in the other liquid 
height is h2 (h2 < h1). If the two vessels are connected, the work done by gravity in equalizing the 
levels is
