Question
Water enters a typical garden hose of diameter 0.016 m with a velocity of 3 m/s. Calculate the exit velocity of water from the garden hose when a nozzle of diameter 0.0050 m) is attached to the end of the hose in units of m/s.

Answer:
v₂ = 306.12 m/s
Explanation:
We know that the volume flow rate of the water or any in-compressible liquid remains constant throughout motion. Therefore, from continuity equation, we know that:
A₁v₁ = A₂v₂
where,
A₁ = Area of entrance pipe = πd₁²/4 = π(0.016 m)²/4 = 0.0002 m²
v₁ = entrance velocity = 3 m/s
A₂ = Area of nozzle = πd₂²/4 = π(0.005 m)²/4 = 0.0000196 m²
v₂ = exit velocity = ?
Therefore,
(0.0002 m²)(3 m/s) = (0.0000196 m²)v₂
v₂ = (0.006 m³/s)/(0.0000196 m²)
v₂ = 306.12 m/s
