Water flows through a horizontal pipe of radius 40.0 cm that is located 20.0 mbelow the surface of a large lake next to a dam. The end of the pipe is connectedto a nozzle of radius 10.0 cm, and the outlet end of the nozzle is open to theatmosphere. Assuming that lake is rectangular with verticals walls and that thewater behaves as an ideal fluid, find:(a) the speed with which the water leaves the nozzle(b) the water pressure inside the pipe

A large lawn sprinkler with two identical arms is used to generate electric power by attaching a generator to its rotating head. Water enters the sprinkler from the base along the axis of rotation at a rate of 5 gal/s and leaves the nozzles in the tangential direction. The sprinkler rotates at a rate of 180 rpm in a horizontal plane. The diameter of each jet is 0.5 in, and the normal distance between the axis of rotation and the center of each nozzle is 2 ft. Determine the maximum possible electrical power produced.
