A garden hose attached with a nozzle is used to fill a 20-gal bucket. The inner diameter of the hose is 1 inch and it reduced to 0.5 in. at the nozzle exit. If the average velocity in the hose is 8 ft/s, determine (a) the volume of flow per unit time (discharge or flow rate), (b) how long it will take to fill the bucket with water, and (c) the average velocity of water at the nozzle exit.
