Answer

The water leaves the sprinkler holes at a speed of $~~8.1~m/s$

Work Step by Step

We can find the speed $v_2$ at which the water leaves the sprinkler holes: $A_2~v_2 = A_1~v_1$ $24~\pi~r_2^2~v_2 = \pi~r_1^2~v_1$ $v_2 = \frac{r_1^2~v_1}{24~r_2^2}$ $v_2 = \frac{(0.95~cm)^2~(0.91~m/s)}{(24)~(0.065~cm)^2}$ $v_2 = 8.1~m/s$ The water leaves the sprinkler holes at a speed of $~~8.1~m/s$
