Question

Transcribed Image Text:Water at 80 kPa (gage) enters a horizontal pipe at a
velocity of V₁ = 1.7 m/s. The water in the pipe then
exits vertically into the air. If the head loss due to
geometry between the inlet and exit is 3 m and when
the water jet stops, V₂ = 0 m/s, what is the height the
water jet can rise?
Part 1. Write the Energy Equation
Part 2. What is the height (elevation) the water jet can
rise?
(a) 3.4 m
(b) 5.3 m
(d) 10.5 m (e) 12.3 m
(c) 8.2 m
