A 15.0 m tall water tower in Mount Pearl, off Wyatt Boulevard, is filled to the top with fresh St. John's tapwater. Due to several days of wildly fluctuating temperatures a small hole forms in a seal between sections of the tower 10.0 m above the ground. What is the speed of the water spilling from the hole in the water tower?

You want to siphon rainwater and melted snow from the cover of an above-ground swimming pool. The cover is 1 m above the ground. You have a plastic hose of 1.0cm radius with one end in the water on the pool cover and the other end on the ground. (a) At what speed does water exit the hose? (b) If you want to empty the pool cover in half the time, how much wider should the hose be? (c) How much faster does the water flow through this wider pipe?
A thin stream of water flows smoothly from a faucet and falls straight down. At one point, the water is flowing at a speed of v₁ = 1.79 m/s. At a lower point, the diameter of the stream has decreased by a factor of 0.895. What is the vertical distance h between these two points? h = cm
A rectangular trough, 2.0 m long, 0.60 m wide, and 0.45 m deep, is completely full of water. One end of the trough has a small drain plug right at the bottom edge. When you pull the plug, at what speed does water emerge from the hole?
Water (density = 1 x 103 kg/m) flows at 12.4 m/s through a pipe with radius 0.05 m. This same pipe goes up to the second floor of the building, 7.4 m higher, and the pressure remains unchanged. What is the speed of the water flow on the second floor?
A horizontal pipe widens from a radius of 0.150 m to 0.280 m. If the speed of the water is 1.40 m/s in the larger pipe, what is the speed in the smaller pipe (in m/s)? HINT 0.4020 X m/s
A pipe 10 meters in length is attached horizontally to a water pump. The pipe has an inner diameter of 3.0 cm and water is pouring out of the end that is open to the atmosphere at a rate of 2.0 L/s.

Group of answer choices 63 Pa 1,000 Pa 0.23 Pa 385 kPa i need help finding the corrcet answer step by step please
Suppose you spray your sister with water from a garden hose. The water is supplied to the hose at a rate of 0.461×10−3 m3/sand the diameter of the nozzle you hold is 5.67×10−3 m. At what speed ? does the water exit the nozzle?
A water tank open to the atmosphere at the top has two small holes punched in its side, one above the other. The holes are 6.00 cm and 12.5 cm above the floor. How high does water stand in the tank if the two streams of water hit the floor at the same place?
Your office has a 0.025 m^3 cylindrical container of drinking water. The radius of the container is about 14 cm. When the container is full, what is the gauge pressure that the water exerts on the sides of the container halfway down from the top? When the container is full, what is the gauge pressure that the water exerts on the sides of the container all the way down from the top?
A round pipe of varying diameter carries petroleum from a wellhead to a refinery. At the wellhead the pipe\'s diameter is 58.5 cm and the flow speed of the petroleum is 13.9 m/s. At the refinery the petroleum flows at 6.53 m/s. What is the volume flow (m^3/s) rate of the petroleum along the pipe and what is the pipe\'s diameter (cm) at the refinery?
