Answer

(a) $5.0\frac{m}{s}$ (b) $1.1atm$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the speed of water in the nozzle as $A_1v_1=A_2v_2$ This can be rearranged as: $v_2=\frac{A_1}{A_2}v_1=(\frac{d_1}{d_2})^2$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $v_2=(\frac{0.63}{0.25})^2(0.78)$ $v_2=5.0\frac{m}{s}$ (b) The pressure in the nozzle can be determined as $P_2=1.2(1.01\times 10^5)+\frac{1}{2}(1000)((0.78)^2-(5.0)^2)$ $P_2=(109\times 10^9)(\frac{1atm}{1.01\times 10^5}Pa)=1.1atm$
