The side of the tank has an inclination of 1H to 1V. The total depth of
water in the tank is 6.70 m. Neglecting air resistance and assuming
CV = 1.0, determine the following:
a) the maximum height to which the jet will rise
b) the point it strike a horizontal plane 1.20 m below the bottom of
the tank.
c) the velocity of the jet as it strike the ground.
