In a water pistol, a piston drives water through a larger tube of area A1 into a smaller tube of area A2 as shown in the figure
below. The radius of the large tube is 1.40 cm and that of the small tube is 1.10 mm. The smaller tube is 3.00 cm above the larger
tube.

(a) If the pistol is fired horizontally at a height of 1.60 m, determine the time interval required for water to travel from the
nozzle to the ground. Neglect air resistance and assume atmospheric pressure is 1.00 atm.
.58
(b) If the desired range of the stream is 7.50 m, with what speed v2 must the stream leave the nozzle?

Pa
(e) Find the pressure needed in the larger tube.

(f) Calculate the force that must be exerted on the trigger to achieve the desired range. (The force that must be exerted is
due to pressure over and above atmospheric pressure.)
