A person is filling a knee-high bucket with water using a garden hose and holding it such that water discharges from the hose at the level of his waist. Someone suggests that the bucket will fill faster if the hose is lowered such that water discharges from the hose at the knee level. Do you agree with this suggestion? Explain. Disregard any frictional effects.
