    V1 = √2gH
    V2 = √2g(H + L)
    V3 = √2g(H + L)

    Correct Option: D

    V1 = √2gH
    V2 = √2g(H + L)
    V3 = √2g(H + L)

    τ = μ
    du
    dy

    du = V – O – V
    dy = h
    τ = u
    V
    ...(1)
    h

    Also , τ =
    F
    A

    where F = mg , A = L2
    ∴ τ =
    mg
    ......(2)
    L2

    By (1) (2), we get
    V =
    mgh
    uL2

    Correct Option: C

    τ = μ
