Question
Water is flowing in a fire hose with a velocity of 1.0 m/s and a pressure of
200000 Pa. At the nozzle the pressure decreases to atmospheric pressure
(101300 Pa), there is no change in height. Use the Bernoulli equation to
calculate the velocity of the water exiting the nozzle. (Hint: The density of
water is 1000 kg/m³ and gravity g is 9.8 m/s². Pay attention to units!)]
