Question

While watering a distant plant, a gardener partially closes the exit hole of the pipe by putting his finger on it. Explain why this results in the water stream going to a larger distance.

Answer 1

Explanation:

• From the question, it is understood that the pipe’s exit hold is closed partially, and this is according to the continuity equation.
• As per this, it is understood that with more velocity, the water stream comes out and this is because of the reduction in the area.
• This leads to the formation of water stream travelling to a larger distance.  
• It is to be understood that a continuity equation is an equation that explains some quantity’s transport.
