The volume rate of flow of water from the 1.70-cm-diameter faucet with a pressure head of 14.0 m is approximately 1.78 x 10^-5 m^3/s

r = d/2 = 0.85 cm = 0.0085 m

P = rho * g * h = 1000 kg/m^3 * 9.81 m/s^2 * 14.0 m = 137340 Pa

now,

P + 1/2 * rho * v1^2 = constant

A1 * v1 = A2 * v2 = pi * r^2 * v2

v2 = 0

P + 1/2 * rho * v1^2 = P0

v1 = sqrt((P0 - P)/(1/2 * rho))

where P0 is the atmospheric pressure (101325 Pa) and rho is the density of water (1000 kg/m^3).

putting in the values:

v1 = sqrt((101325 Pa - 137340 Pa)/(1/2 * 1000 kg/m^3))

v1 = 7.82 m/s

Finally, we can use the formula for the volume rate of flow (Q):

Q = A1 * v1

Q = pi * r^2 * v1

Q = pi * (0.0085 m)^2 * 7.82 m/s

Q = 1.78 x 10^-5 m^3/s
