Question: Old Faithful Geyser in Yellowstone Park (Fig P14.46) erupts at approximately 1-h intervals, and the height of the water column reaches 40.0 m. (a) Model

Old Faithful Geyser in Yellowstone Park (Fig P14.46) erupts at approximately 1-h intervals, and the height of the water column reaches 40.0 m. (a) Model the rising stream as a series of separate drops. Analyze the free-fall motion of one of the drops to determine the speed at which the water leaves the ground. (b) What If? Model the rising stream as an ideal fluid in streamline flow. Use Bernoulli€™s equation to determine the speed of the water as it leaves ground level. (c) What is the pressure (above atmospheric) in the heated underground chamber if its depth is 175 m? You may assume that the chamber is large compared with the geyser€™s vent.
