5–5 ■ APPLICATIONS OF THE BERNOULLI EQUATION

EXAMPLE Spraying Water into the Air


Water is flowing from a hose attached to a water main at 400 kPa gage. A
child places his thumb to cover most of the hose outlet, causing a thin jet
of high-speed water to emerge. If the hose is held upward, what is the
maximum height that the jet could achieve?

Graphical representation of Mechanical Energy
5–40 A Pitot-static probe is used to measure the
velocity of an aircraft flying at 3000 m. If the
differential pressure reading is 3 kPa, determine
the velocity of the aircraft.

5–41 While traveling on a dirt road, the bottom of


a car hits a sharp rock and a small hole develops at
the bottom of its gas tank. If the height of the
gasoline in the tank is 30 cm, determine the initial
velocity of the gasoline at the hole. Discuss how
the velocity will change with time and how the
flow will be affected if the lid of the tank is closed
tightly.
