A lawn sprinkler has 40holes each of cross-section area 2.0 x10-2cm2. It is connected to a horse pipe of
cross-section area 1.6cm2. if the speed of water in the horse pipe is 1.2m/s, calculate:
a) The rate of flow in the horse pipe.

b) The speed at which water emerges from the holes.

a) The rate of flow in the horse pipe.
Rate of flow= A?
=(1.6 x10-4)x1.2m/s=1.92x10-4m3/s
b) The speed at which water emerges from the holes.
A1?1= A2?2
1.92x10-4m3/s=(2.0 x10-2x10-4)x ?2
?2=(1.92x10-4m3/s)/ (2.0 x10-2x10-4m2)= 2.4m/s.
