Answer:
The maximum height reached by the water is 117.55 m.
Explanation:
Given;
initial velocity of the water, u = 48 m/s
at maximum height the final velocity will be zero, v = 0
the water is going upwards, i.e in the negative direction of gravity, g = -9.8 m/s².
The maximum height reached by the water is calculated as follows;
v² = u² + 2gh
where;
h is the maximum height reached by the water
0 = u² + 2gh
0 = (48)² + ( 2 x -9.8 x h)
0 = 2304 - 19.6h
19.6h = 2304
h = 2304 / 19.6
h = 117.55 m
Therefore, the maximum height reached by the water is 117.55 m.
