Question: Calculate the maximum height to which water could be squirted with the hose in Example 12.2 example if it: (a) Emerges from the nozzle. (b)

Calculate the maximum height to which water could be squirted with the hose in Example 12.2 example if it:

(a) Emerges from the nozzle. 

(b) Emerges with the nozzle removed, assuming the same flow rate.

Data given in Example 12.2

A nozzle with a radius of 0.250 cm is attached to a garden hose with a radius of 0.900 cm. The flow rate through hose and nozzle is 0.500 L/s. Calculate the speed of the water. 

Strategy

We can use the relationship between flow rate and speed to find both velocities. We will use the subscript 1 for the hose and 2 for the nozzle.
