Answer:
(a) 102 cm/s
(b) 0.490 cm²
Explanation:
(a) Use Bernoulli equation.
P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρgh₁ = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂² + ρgh₂
0 + ½ ρ v₁² + ρgh₁ = 0 + ½ ρ v₂² + 0
½ ρ v₁² + ρgh₁ = ½ ρ v₂²
½ v₁² + gh₁ = ½ v₂²
½ (25.0 cm/s)² + (980 cm/s²) (5.00 cm) = ½ v²
v = 102 cm/s
(b) The flow rate is constant.
v₁ A₁ = v₂ A₂
(25.0 cm/s) (2.00 cm²) = (102 cm/s) A
A = 0.490 cm²
