Question

A Garden hose is attached to a water faucet on one end and a spray nozzle on the other end. The water faucet is turned on, but the nozzle is turned off so that no water flows through the hose. The hose lies horizontally on the ground, and a stream of water sprays vertically out of a small leak to a height of .68m. What is the pressure inside the hose?

Answer 1

The gauge pressure is 6670.8 Pascal

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height is 0.68 m

The Gauge pressure is determine by the formula,

Gauge pressure , P = hdg

Where h = 0.68 m

d = 1000

g = 9.81

Substituting the values in the formula of Gauge pressure, we get

Gauge Pressure = hdg =
`0.68 * 1000 * 9.81`

Gauge Pressure = 6670.8

Therefore, the gauge pressure is 6670.8 Pascal
