Water is flowing in a fire hose with a velocity of 1.0 m/s and a pressure of 200000 Pa. At the nozzle the pressure decreases to atmospheric pressure (101300 Pa), there is no change in height. Use the Bernoulli equation to calculate the velocity of the water exiting the nozzle. (Hint: The density of water is 1000 kg/m3 and gravity g is 9.8 m/s²). 2.

The mayor of the city of Fury, Gustavo Cerati, intends to install a system in the central equestrian park, which periodically expels a jet of water that reaches a height of up to 20 m. You are commissioned as a hydraulic engineer to calculate the gauge pressure (cm of Hg) that must exist inside the lower tube, at a depth of 100 m, so that you can project the water up to that height. Please show the conversion made.
Water is flowing through a pipe of varying cross-sections and elevation. At point 1 of the pipe the cross-sectional area is 0.54m2, the velocity is 4 m/s and the elevation is 2.5 m. At another point 2, the velocity is 2 m/s and the elevation is 1.25 m. Find the cross-sectional area at point 2.
