Problem

Water from a tap emerges vertically downwards with an initial speed of 1.0 m s−11.0 \text{ m s}^{-1} . The cross-sectional area of the tap is 10−4 m210^{-4} \text{ m}^2 . Assume that the pressure is constant throughout the stream of water, and that the flow is steady. The cross-sectional area of the stream 0.15 m below the tap is a. 5.0×10−4 m25.0 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m}^2 b. 1.0×10−5 m21.0 \times 10^{-5} \text{ m}^2 c. 5.0×10−5 m25.0 \times 10^{-5} \text{ m}^2 d. 2.0×10−5 m22.0 \times 10^{-5} \text{ m}^2
