See the original problem statement. Why does Chegg's answer not include the given parameters of L and alpha as depicted in the diagram? L and alpha determine the change in gravitational potential energy between the top of the water in the tank and the pipe outlet (i.e., H - Lsin(alpha)), which should affect the calculation of the velocity of the water leaving the pipe, as well as the angle at which water leaves the pipe (alpha), which will affect the maximum height of the water when the valve is initially opened. Of course, Lsin(alpha) is not included when calculating the maximum height of the water stream because the pipe outlet is a ground level.
