An open-topped tank completely filled with water has a release valve near its bottom. The valve is 1.0 m below the water surface. Water is released from the valve to power a turbine, which generates electricity. The area of the top of the tank, AT, is 10 times the cross-sectional area, Av, of the valve opening. Calculate the speed of the water as it exits the valve. Neglect friction and viscosity. In addition, calculate the speed of a drop of water released from  rest at h = 1.0 m when it reaches the elevation of the valve. Compare the two speeds.
