Question: Water exits a 6 - in . - diameter pipe connected to a fire hydrant. The pipe invert ( bottom of the pipe ) is

Water exits a 6-in.-diameter pipe connected to a fire hydrant. The pipe invert (bottom of the pipe) is 14 inches above the level ground. The water contacts the ground in a circular pattern with the closest distances identified as variable l' and the furthest distance identified as variable l.
Determine the velocity (in fps) the water exits the fire hydrant. Assume that the velocity over the hydrant exit is uniform and l'=70ft. Hint: apply Bernoulli's along one streamline.
