Homework Statement
Develop an equation that will allow you to determine the radius of the stream (r) at any distance (y) below the rim of the faucet.
It would seem that the initial velocity of the water coming out of the faucet and the acceleration due to gravity have something to do with the radius of the stream at any point.
Homework Equations
The only equations needed are :
Area of a circle,
Volume of a cylinder,
v=vo + at
y=yo + vy0t+ 1/2 at2
The Attempt at a Solution
I solved for a faucet opening of .96 cm and determined that the water exits at 7.67cm3/sI don't even know if what I found is relevant but I am really stuck and any help would be greatly appreciated.
