(a) If the pistol is fired horizontally at a height of 1.40 m, determine the time interval (in s) required for water to travel from the nozzle to the ground. Neglect air resistance. S (b) If the desired range of the stream is 7.50 m, with what speed v₂ (in m/s) must the stream leave the nozzle? m/s (c) At what speed v₁ (in m/s) must the plunger be moved to achieve the desired range? m/s (d) What is the pressure (in Pa) at the nozzle? Pa (e) Find the pressure (in Pa) needed in the cylinder. Pa (f) Calculate the force (in N) that must be exerted on the trigger to achieve the desired range.

Question

Transcribed Image Text:The construction of a water pistol is shown in the figure below. The cylinder with cross-sectional area A₁ is filled with water and when the piston
is pushed (by pulling the trigger), water is forced out the tube with cross-sectional area A₂. The radius of the cylinder and tube are, respectively,
1.30 cm and 1.10 mm, and the center of the tube is a height h = 3.00 cm above the center of the cylinder. (Assume atmospheric pressure is
1.013 x 105 Pa.)
