Gravitational Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy problem 40


The diagram shows two identical vessels X and Y connected by a short pipe with a tap.




Initially, X is filled with water of mass to a depth , and Y is empty. When the tap is opened, water flows from X to Y until the depths of water in both vessels are equal. How much potential energy is lost by the water during this process? ()
