- Water flows straight down from a downspout pipe. The cross-sectional area of the downspout pile is 1.8 m2 and the speed of the water is 0.85 m/s as it leaves the downspout pile. Ignoring air resistance, find the cross-sectional area of the water stream at a point 0.30 m below the faucet.arrow_forward4. Hydroelectric plants in the mountains bring water from a reservoir down to a turbine through enclosed tubes. In such plants, the 100 cm diameter intake tube (Point 2) in the dam is 50m below the water surface (Point 1) of the reservoir. The water drops 200 m through the tube before flowing into the turbine through a 50 cm diameter nozzle.arrow_forwardWater is flowing through a pipe of 0.60-meter diameter and 2-kilometer length.
