[An open wardrobe, with a boat anchor attached to one corner, falling towards water.]
[Below the water line a formula with its variables explained is shown:]
Q = A * sqrt(2 * g * d)
Q = flow rate
A = area of opening
d = ocean depth (2 km)
g = Earth gravity
[And below the formula:]
Flow: ~400,000 liters/s
Water jet velocity: ~200 m/s
