A water fountain on the ground sprinkles water all around it. If the speed of water coming out of the fountain is $$v,$$ the total area around the fountain that gets wet is :
A.
$$\pi \frac{{{v^4}}}{{{g^2}}}$$
B.
$$\frac{\pi }{2}\frac{{{v^4}}}{{{g^2}}}$$
C.
$$\pi \frac{{{v^2}}}{{{g^2}}}$$
D.
$$\pi \frac{{{v^2}}}{g}$$
Answer :
$$\pi \frac{{{v^4}}}{{{g^2}}}$$
Solution :
Total area around fountain
$$\eqalign{
& A = \pi R_{\max }^2 = \pi \frac{{{v^4}}}{{{g^2}}} \cr
& \left[ {\because {R_{\max }} = \frac{{{v^2}\sin 2\theta }}{g} = \frac{{{v^2}\sin {{90}^ \circ }}}{g} = \frac{{{v^2}}}{g}} \right] \cr} $$

A river is flowing from west to east at a speed of $$5$$ metres per minute. A man on the south bank of the river, capable of swimming at $$10$$ metres per minute in still water, wants to swim across the river in the shortest time. He should swim in a direction-
A boat which has a speed of $$5 km/hr$$ in still water crosses a river of width $$1 \,km$$ along the shortest possible path in $$15 \,minutes.$$ The velocity of the river water in $$km/hr$$ is-
In $$1.0\,s,$$ a particle goes from point $$A$$ to point $$B,$$ moving in a semicircle of radius $$1.0 \,m$$ (see Figure). The magnitude of the average velocity-
A ball is dropped vertically from a height $$d$$ above the ground. It hits the ground and bounces up vertically to a height $$\frac{d}{2}.$$ Neglecting subsequent motion and air resistance, its velocity $$v$$ varies with the height $$h$$ above the ground as-
