Question

A garden hose is attached to a water faucet on one end and a spray nozzle on the other end. The water faucet is turned on , but the nozzle is turned off so that no water flows through the hose. The hose lies horizontally on the ground, and a stream of water sprays vertically out of a small leak to a height of 0.68 m. What is the pressure inside the hose?

NOTE: The answer shown in the back of the book is 1.08 X 10^5 Pa.

Please explain rationale for solving this problem and show detailed steps. Thank you:)

Explanation / Answer

For maximum height, the pressure of water column will just balance the pressure inside hose.

Phose   =    * g * h

= 1000 * 9.8 * 0.68

= 6640 N/m2
