Question

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, 1.50 cm and 1.40 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 ✕ 10⁵ Pa.)

(a). At what speed v₁ (in m/s) must the plunger be moved to achieve the desired range?

(b). Find the pressure (in Pa) needed in the cylinder.
