- Torricelli's Law: The velocity of efflux of a liquid through a small orifice (hole) in a container, at a depth below the free (open) liquid surface, is the same as the speed the liquid would acquire falling freely through height :
- Derivation using Bernoulli's theorem: Consider a wide container open to the atmosphere at the top (point 1, at height above the hole, cross-sectional area ) with a small hole in its side (point 2, at the reference height, area ), both open to atmospheric pressure . Bernoulli's theorem (applying the same streamline from point 1 to point 2): Since both points are open to the atmosphere: (these cancel). Taking the hole as the reference level () and the top surface at height above it (): …
