PROBLEM: In Lake Geneva (Switzerland), there is a water jet (called the Jet d'Eau) that is discharged 130 m straight upward (measured from the surface of the lake). The exit of the discharge pipe is 20 cm in diameter. 130m Neglecting head loss, calculate the velocity of the water as it leaves the pipe. Applying Bernoulli's equation from surface (1)right outside the pipe opening to top of jet (2): lake
