12.3 Exercise 1

Avg difficulty 2.5

A horizontally oriented pipe has a diameter of 5.6 cm and is filled with water. The pipe draws water from a reservoir that is initially at rest. A manually operated plunger provides a force of 440 N in the pipe. Assuming that the other end of the pipe is open to the air, with what speed does the water emerge from the pipe?

  1. 12 m/s
  2. 19 m/s
  3. 150 m/s
  4. 190 m/s
