Bernoulli's Equation- on a jet nozzle

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around applying Bernoulli's equation to derive equations related to a jet nozzle. Participants focus on calculating the jet speed at the nozzle exit and at a vertical distance below it, emphasizing the importance of stagnation pressure and the effects of gravity. There is a significant emphasis on ensuring that equations are correctly formulated and that mass conservation principles are applied, particularly in deriving the cross-sectional area of the jet at different heights. Errors in algebraic manipulation are highlighted, stressing the need for clarity and accuracy in the calculations. Overall, the conversation underscores the necessity of a solid understanding of both fluid dynamics and algebra for solving such problems effectively.

Would you subtract the square root from the right hand side to get A2 on its own, then group like terms?

Subtracting the radical does not get A2 alone. You have missed something in your algebra studies.

Can you help me to what the equation would work out to?
