A fireman standing on a 5.2 m high ladder operates a water hose with a round nozzle of diameter 1.43 inch. The lower end of the hose (5.2 m below the nozzle) is connected to the pump outlet of diameter 2.33 inch. The gauge pressure of the water at the pump is

P(gauge) =P(abs) −P pump pump

atm= 26.2 PSI = 180.643 kPa .

Calculate the speed of the water jet emerg- ing from the nozzle. Assume that water is an incompressible liquid of density 1000 kg/m3 and negligible viscosity. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 .

Answer in units of m/s.

    A fireman climbs a 9 m high ladder carrying a 5.9999 in diameter hose that has a 1.2 in diameter nozzle. The pump has an absolute pressure of 4 atm . What is the water velocity from the nozzle? Assume that water is incompressible, its density is 1000 kg/m3 , and 1 inch = 0.0254 m. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 and 1 atm = 1.01

    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...
