Question

1.     A syringe has a plunger that has a radius of 0.5 cm.  A 2 cm long needle is attached.  The opening in this needle has a radius of 0.2 mm.  The syringe is held horizontally, and a force is applied to the plunger.  This force causes water to exit the end of the needle with a velocity of 100 cm/s. The water exiting the needle has a (gauge) pressure of 0.  What is the force applied to the plunger?

a.     0.163 N

b.     0.280 N

c.     0.814 N

d.     0.757 N

e.     0.314 N
