Question

Water is stored in a municipal water tank at a mean height of 25 m. If a faucet of diameter 1.2 cm is opened in a house at ground level, at what speed does the water flow?

Answer 1

Answer:

22.14 m/s

Explanation:

height, h = 25 m

diameter, = 1.2 cm

Let v be the velocity of water.

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

$v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 25}$

v = 22.14 m/s

Thus, the speed of water is 22.14 m/s .
