1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known dataWhat gauge pressure in the water mains is necessary if a firehose is to spray water to a height of 20 ?



2. Relevant equations
Pressure = density * gravity * chanfe of height


3. The attempt at a solution

density of the water is 100 kg/m^3
so will the solution be:
100 (kg.^3) * 9.8 (m/s^2)* 20m
=19600 pa????

To determine the gauge pressure inside a hose pipe you have to apply Bernoulli's principle. Inside the pipe the pressure is P and velocity of flow of water is zero. Outside the pipe pressure is ane atmosphere
= 1.013*10^5 pa. Find the velocity of projection of any body to reach the height h.Use the equation P + 0 = 1.013x10^5 + 1/2xdensity waterxv^2. Density water is 1000kg/m^3
