**Problem 5.18:**

The tank in Figure 5.26 has a layer of mercury under a layer of water. The mercury is flowing out through a frictionless nozzle. The heights are \( h_1 = 1 \, \text{m} \) and \( h_2 = 8 \, \text{m} \). What is the velocity of the fluid leaving the nozzle?

**Figure 5.26 Explanation:**

- The figure shows a tank with two layers of fluid: water on top and mercury underneath.
- A nozzle at the bottom allows the mercury to flow out.
- The diagram marks two specific heights: \( h_1 \) and \( h_2 \).
  - \( h_1 = 1 \, \text{m} \) represents the height of the mercury layer.
  - \( h_2 = 8 \, \text{m} \) represents the height of water plus mercury.
- The question asks for the velocity of the mercury as it leaves the nozzle, assuming no friction in the nozzle.
