Problem

In an irrigation system, water is siphoned through a hose from a pond to a field located 2.3 m2.3\,\text{m} lower than the pond surface. Internal friction in the hose removes 18%18\% of the mechanical energy per unit mass between the pond surface and the outlet. Estimate the speed of the water as it exits the hose. State the value in m s−1\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1} to two significant figures.
