Question

Water falls vertically downward from an open faucet with an initial velocity of 78 cm/s.  If the stream diameter at the faucet head is 0.5 cm what is the stream diameter at a distance 5 cm below the faucet exit?

 

The image illustrates a water flow problem involving a tap and two points along the stream of water. - A tap is shown with water flowing downward. - At the top of the stream, where it exits the tap, the diameter (D) is labeled as "D = 0.5 cm." - Further down the stream, the diameter is labeled as "D = 5 cm." - Below this, another point is indicated with a question mark, "D = ?" suggesting a calculation or continuation of the concept. This diagram is likely used to demonstrate principles of fluid dynamics, possibly relating to the conservation of mass or Bernoulli's equation, where the diameter of the flow changes due to velocity variations. The problem involves calculating the unknown diameter or discussing the effects of changes in flow rate, pressure, and speed on the diameter of the water stream.
