- 4) A 4 N force is used to compress water in a syringe that has a plunger with an area of 1 cm?. This pressure is released at the other end through an opening with a radius of 1 mm. With what velocity would the water exit the syringe? Assume no height change, and neglect viscosity. 5) If the water in #4 was shot out horizontally from a height of 1 m, how far would it travel before hitting the ground?arrow_forward7)Suppose you have a bowling ball resting at the bottom of a tank of pure water that is 1.0 m deep and open to the atmosphere at the top. If you add more pure water to the tank so that the water is now 2.0 m deep (and still open to the atmosphere at the top), how does the buoyant force on the bowling ball change? 8)arrow_forward
