The velocity v and maximum height h of the water being pumped into the air are related by the equation
v=
where g = 32
(a) To find the equation that will give the maximum height of the water , solve the equation for h
v=
Take square root on both sides
= 2gh
Divide by 2g on both sides
= h
So maximum height of the water h =
(b) Maximum height h= 80
velocity v= 75 ft/sec
Given g = 32
h =
h =
h= 87.89 ft
The pump withe the velocity of 75 ft/sec reaches the maximum height of 87.89 feet. 87.86 is greater than the maximum height 80 feet.
So the pump will meet the fire department needs.
