Problem

a. When a faucet is turned on, a stream of water flows down with initial speed v0v_{0} at the spout. For this problem, we define yy to be the vertical coordinate with its positive direction pointing up. Assuming the water speed is only affected by gravity as the water falls, find the speed of water v(y)v(y) at height yy. Define the zero of yy such that the equation for v2v^{2} has only one term and find y0y_{0}, the height of the spout. Given constants: ## String Cheese
