QUESTION #2 Torricelli's Law and Bernoulli's Equation

Consider a completely full cylindrical water tank of height 1.6mathrm~m$1.6\mathrm{~m}$ and cross-sectional area 0.5mathrm~m^2$0.5\mathrm{~m}^2$ . It has a small hole in its side at a height 90mathrm~cm$90\mathrm{~cm}$ from the bottom. Assume, the cross-sectional area of the hole to be negligibly small as compared to that of the water tank. If a load 50mathrm~kg$50\mathrm{~kg}$ is applied at the top surface of the water in the tank then the velocity of the water coming out at the instant when the hole is opened is: (mathrmg = 10mathrm~m/s^2)$(\mathrm{g} = 10\mathrm{~m/s}^2)$
