Final answer:

To calculate the flow rate in liters per second, multiply the velocity by the cross-sectional area of the hose and convert from m^3/s to L/s. To find the nozzle's inside diameter, use the given fluid velocity and the same formula to calculate the cross-sectional area.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Convert the given velocity from m/s to L/s.

The flow rate can be calculated by multiplying the velocity by the cross-sectional area of the hose. The cross-sectional area of the hose can be found using the formula:

Area = π * (diameter/2)^2

Substituting the given values:

Area = π * (1.60 cm/2)^2 = π * (0.80 cm)^2 = 2.01 cm^2

Converting the area from cm^2 to m^2:

2.01 cm^2 * (0.01 m/cm)^2 = 0.000201 m^2

Now, multiply the velocity by the area to find the flow rate:

Flow Rate = 2.00 m/s * 0.000201 m^2 = 0.000402 m^3/s

To convert the flow rate from m^3/s to L/s, multiply by 1000:

Flow Rate = 0.000402 m^3/s * 1000 L/m^3 = 0.402 L/s

Step 2: Determine the nozzle's inside diameter using the fluid velocity.

Using the same formula as before to find the cross-sectional area of the nozzle:

Area = π * (diameter/2)^2

Substituting the given values:

Area = π * (diameter/2)^2 = π * (diameter/2)^2 = π * (0.80 cm)^2

Solve for the diameter:

(0.80 cm)^2 = (diameter/2)^2

diameter/2 = sqrt((0.80 cm)^2)

diameter = 2 * sqrt((0.80 cm)^2)
