Q1 P2 (2 pts.):
a) (1.5 pts.) A fire engine pumps water from a pressurized tank
through a hose to the top of a ladder. At the beginning of the
hose, the pressure is 200,000 Pa (a Pascale is a Newton per meter
squared) and the velocity is 1 m/s. If the fire fighter is holding
the open end of the hose 6 m above the end connected to the
tank, what is the velocity of the water as it exits the hose?
b) (0.5 pts.) List the assumptions that you used to answer part a).
