2).0.71%

The devices don't "draw" 120v. The 120v comes to your house from the power company. They decide it should be 120v and that's what they send you. It's hypothetically technically possible for you to change that, but if you try it, you'll definitely burn the house down.
The total resistance of those two devices in parallel is 6 and 2/3 ohms. That doesn't depend on what they're plugged into. It would still be 6 and 2/3 ohms if they were connected in parallel, wrapped in tissue, sealed in a jar of chicken soup and stored in a box on a high shelf.
But since they ARE plugged into 120v, they draw 18 Amperes from the socket, and they turn all of that electrical energy into 2160 watts of heat. That's about the same as a good size toaster oven, and you have to figure out a way to get rid of all that heat before you burn the house down.
Calculating speed as function of distance y is fairly easy. Once water leaves pipe it is under free fall which means that it is accelerating with gravitational acceleration "a".
V=Vo + Vff where Vff is speed gained due to free fall.


Calculating radius of stream is a little bit more complicated. Because water is accelerating as it falls it has to lower its radius. The reason for this is that water flow must be the same as one at the exit of pipe. Water flow is expressed in liters/meter^3
Because of this we write condition:
V1/V2 = A2/A1 where A2 and A1 are sections of water stream.
let V1 and A1 be the speed and section of water stream at the end of pipe.
A2 = V1*A1/V2
Explanation:
(a) The given data is as follows.
Length of the rod, L = 0.83 m
Mass of the rod, m = 110 g = 0.11 (as 1 kg = 1000 g)
At the lowest point, angular speed of the rod (
) = 5.71 rad/s
First, we will calculate the rotational inertia of the rod about an axis passing through its fixed end is as follows.
I = 
=
= 
= 0.00631 + 0.415
= 0.42131 
Therefore, kinetic energy of the rod at its lowest point will be calculated as follows.
K = 
= 
= 6.86 J
Hence, kinetic energy of the rod at its lowest point is 6.86 J.
(b) According to the conservation of total mechanical energy of the rod, we have


or, mgh = K = 6.86 J
Therefore, h =
= 
= 0.584 m
Hence, the center of mass rises 0.584 m far above that position.
