Question

A fire truck sits on a hill, with its hose running down the hill. The water leaves the tank into the hose at a velocity of 0.564 m/s. The fire hose has an exit velocity of 24.4 m/s. Note that it obtains this exit velocity when it hits the outside atmosphere. The absolute pressure in the tank is 1.49 atm. How high is the tank above the hose? answer in m

Step 1

Given: Absolute pressure in the tank = 1.49 atm To convert atm to Pascals, we use the conversion factor: 1 atm = 101325 Pa So, the absolute pressure in the tank in Pascals is: 1.49 atm * 101325 Pa/atm = 150,647.25 Pa Show more…
