Water is forced out of a fire extinguisher by air pressure as shown in figure. The gauge pressure of air required in the tank so that water jet comes out with a speed of 30 m/s when the water level in the tank is 0.5 m below the nozzle, is [Take g = 10 m/s2, P0 = 105 N/m2, ρwater = 103 Kg/m3.]

Let air absolute pressure is P, then apply Bernaulli’s theorem just on surface of water and just outside the nozzle.
Where h = 0.5 m and level of water is taken as reference level for potential energy head.
P – P0 is representing the required gauge pressure.
