Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Please see attached images. 1 is the question and 1 is my attempted solution.
I think I perhaps have done the first part wrong where I calculate the horizontal component of the velocity. I assume the horizontal velocity remains constant throughout the trajectory, and that that the change in height z in the pitot tube is due to this velocity such that:
v=sqrt(2gz)
also, the lecturer has provided information that the fluid is water (density 1g/cm^3) and I haven't used this information hence my post here regarding my method.
Thanks for your time.
