To calculate the rate of discharge of the liquid, we can use the Poiseuille's law, which states that the flow rate through a capillary tube is directly proportional to the pressure difference and the fourth power of the radius of the tube and inversely proportional to the viscosity of the liquid and the length of the tube.
Given:
Height of the cylindrical vessel (h) = 30 cm
Inner diameter of the capillary tube (d) = 2 mm = 0.2 cm
Length of the capillary tube (L) = 10 cm
Viscosity of water (η) = 0.01 poise
Density of water (ρ) = 1 gm/cc
Let's calculate the radius of the capillary tube:
Radius (r) = d/2 = 0.2 cm / 2 = 0.1 cm
Now, let's calculate the pressure difference:
The pressure difference can be calculated using the hydrostatic pressure formula:
Pressure difference (ΔP) = ρgh
Here, g is the acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.8 m/s^2.
The height of the water column is given as 2/3 of the capacity of the vessel, which is 2/3 * 30 cm = 20 cm.
ΔP = 1 gm/cc * 9.8 m/s^2 * 20 cm * (1 m / 100 cm)
= 1 gm/cc * 9.8 m/s^2 * 0.2 m
= 1.96 gm/m^2
Now, let's calculate the rate of discharge:
Using Poiseuille's law, the rate of discharge (Q) is given by:
Q = (Π * r^4 * ΔP) / (8ηL)
Q = (Π * (0.1 cm)^4 * (1.96 gm/m^2)) / (8 * 0.01 poise * 10 cm)
= (Π * 0.0001 cm^4 * 1.96 gm/m^2) / (0.08 poise * 10 cm)
= (Π * 0.0001 cm^4 * 1.96 gm/m^2) / (0.8 gm/cm/s)
= (Π * 0.0001 * 1.96) / 0.8 cm^3/s
= 7.68 cm^3/s (approximately)
Therefore, the rate of discharge of the liquid is approximately 7.68 cm^3/s, which is closest to option C (7.69 cm^3/s).
