3. A nozzle with radius of 0.230 cm is attached to a garden hose with a radius of 0.850 cm. The flow rate through hose and nozzle is 0.4 L/s. Calculate the speed of the water in the hose and in the nozzle
Added by Jesus O.
Step 1
We can use the formula for the area of a circle, which is A = πr². For the hose: A_hose = π(0.850 cm)² ≈ 2.27 cm² For the nozzle: A_nozzle = π(0.230 cm)² ≈ 0.166 cm² Now, we know that the flow rate (Q) is the same for both the hose and the nozzle, and it is Show more…

A garden hose of inner radius $1.0 \mathrm{cm}$ carries water at $2.0 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} .$ The nozzle at the end has radius $0.20 \mathrm{cm} .$ How fast does the water move through the nozzle?
To water the yard, you use a hose with a diameter of 3.6 $\mathrm{cm}$ . Water flows from the hose with a speed of 1.3 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} .$ If you partially block the end of the hose so the effective diameter is now $0.52 \mathrm{cm},$ with what speed does water spray from the hose?
Water flows through a fire hose of diameter $6.35 \mathrm{cm}$ at a rate of $0.0120 \mathrm{m}^{3} / \mathrm{s}$. The fire hose ends in a nozzle of inner diameter $2.20 \mathrm{cm} .$ What is the speed with which the water exits the nozzle?
