A firefighter mounts the nozzle of his fire hose at the base of a burning building so that it sprays vertically upwards. The initial radius of the hose is r1 = 4.00 cm. After quenching a hotspot at a height of h1 = 8.97 m, the firefighter adjusts the nozzle diameter so that the water hits the building at a height of h2 = 16.3 m. What is the new radius of the hose?

A firefighter mounts the nozzle of his fire hose a distance 38.5 m away from the edge of a burning building so that it sprays from ground level at a 45° angle above the horizontal. After quenching a hotspot at a height of 8.97 m, the firefighter adjusts the nozzle diameter so that the water hits the building at a height of 17.5 m. By what factor was the nozzle diameter changed? Assume that the flow rate of water through...

A firefighter is spraying water on a building. Water leaves the hose at 35 m/s and an angle of 30 Degrees above the horizontal. The nozzle of the hose is 1.0 m above the ground, and the building is 22 m away. The building is 40 m tall. a. How much time does it take for the water to reach the building? b. At what height above the ground does the water hit the building? c. In what vertical direction...
Problem 6.077 Incorrect. A fireman is soaking a home that is dangerously close to a burning building. To prevent water damage to the inside of the neighboring home, he throttles down his flow rate so that it will not break windows. Assuming the typical window should be able to withstand a force up to 30 lbf, what is the largest volumetric flow rate he should allow (gal/min.), given an 10 inch diameter (D1) firehose discharging through a nozzle with 3-inch...
