Question

While taking a shower, you notice that the shower head is made up of 36 small round openings, each with a radius of 2.00 mm. You also determine that it takes 4.00 s for the shower to completely fill a 1.00-liter container you hold in the water stream. The water for the shower is pumped by a pump that is 5.10 m below the level of the shower head. The pump maintains an absolute pressure of 1.50 atm. Use g = 10 m/s2, and assume that 1 atmosphere is 1.0 x 105 Pa.

What is the speed of the water in the pipe connected to the pump?
