Question

Water shoots out a pipe and nozzle as shown in the figure. The cross-sectional area for the tube at point A is four times that of the nozzle. The pressure of water at point A is 41 × 103 Nm–2 (guage). If the height 'h' above the nozzle to which water jet will shoot is x/10 meter than x is. (Neglect all the losses occurred in the above process) [g = 10 m/s2].

Cross sectional area at point 4A (tube)

Cross sectional area at point - A(nozle)
The pressure at a point A is = 41 × 103 N/m2
=x+x10
=11x10
g = 10 m/s2
P = hρg
41×103=11x10×10×m1.1
x=41×10310
The height above the nozzle x = 41 × 102 m
