Problem

A garden hose is used as a siphon to drain a small pond. The hose inlet is just below the water surface, and the outlet is 0.60 m lower than the pond’s surface. Neglecting friction and assuming the hose remains completely filled, what is the speed of the water as it leaves the hose? (Use g=9.8 m/s2g = 9.8\,\text{m/s}^2.) (a) 4.8 m/s4.8\,\text{m/s} (b) 3.4 m/s3.4\,\text{m/s} (c) 9.8 m/s9.8\,\text{m/s} (d) 2.4 m/s2.4\,\text{m/s}
