Suppose a water fountain on the UTA campus suffers a malfunction that causes it to rise vertically to 95 feet above the fountain nozzle (when
operated). Neglecting wind effects and minor losses, determine the velocity at which the water is ejected. Report your answer in ft/s with two
decimal places.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Fluid energy
The fluid energy in open atmosphere can be categorized as
- Kinetic energy
- POTENTIAL energy.
As the water leaves the fountain it possesses kinetic energy and as it rises up it loses the kinetic energy and gains the potential energy.
Using the conservation of energy the velocity at fountain exit can be calculated.
