Consider a pumping firetruck, which draws water from a nearby pond, and sprays a tight stream of water at a rate of 4200 L/min to the top of a building at a height of 12 m. You should consider all kinetic energy at the top of the building to be negligible. You don't know the horizontal component of velocity. It's small, don't bother.

What is the speed of the flow as it leaves the hose nozzle? • What is the diameter of the nozzle exit? • The hose from the firetruck to the firefighter has a 15 cm inside diameter. What is the pressure in the hose as it leaves the truck? Assume no losses in the hose and that the hose exits the truck a height of 1 m off the ground.
