Torricelli's theorem
…also called Torricelli's Law, Torricelli's Principle, or Torricelli's Equation. Statement that the speed, v, of a liquid flowing under the force of gravity out of an opening in a tank is proportional jointly to the square root of the vertical distance, h, between the liquid surface and the centre of the opening and to the square root of twice the acceleration caused by gravity, 2g, or simply v = 2gh.

Citation

Example Usage:

Last week on my family camping trip to the lake, I realized that liquid, gravity, and vertical distance were all related mathematically, as can be seen by v=2gh.
