Density and pressure — practice question

Water is forced through a nozzle at the end of a hose. The nozzle has a circular cross-section with diameter $50\,\text{mm}$. A mass of $100\,\text{kg}$ of water takes $2.0\,\text{s}$ to pass through the nozzle. The density of water is $1000\,\text{kg m}^{-3}$. What is the water speed in the nozzle?

  • A$6.4\,\text{m s}^{-1}$
  • B$13\,\text{m s}^{-1}$
  • C$25\,\text{m s}^{-1}$
  • D$51\,\text{m s}^{-1}$
