A garden hose has a radius of 0.0120 m, and water initially comes out at a speed of 2.88m/s. Dasha puts her thumb over the end , which cuts its area to 1.05×10^-4 m^2.what is the new velocity of the water coming out ?

Answer:

v = 12.4 [m/s]

Explanation:

With the speed and Area information, we can determine the volumetric flow.

[tex]V=v*A\\A=\pi *r^{2}[/tex]

where:

r = radius = 0.0120 [m]

v = 2.88 [m/s]

[tex]A=\pi *(0.0120)^{2} \\A=4.523*10^{-4} [m]\\[/tex]

Therefore the flow is:

[tex]V=2.88*4.523*10^{-4} \\V=1.302*10^{-3} [m^{3}/s ][/tex]

Despite the fact that you cover the inlet with the finger, the volumetric flow rate is the same.

[tex]v=V/A\\v=1.302*10^{-3} /1.05*10^{-4} \\v=12.4[m/s][/tex]
