Water flowing through a garden hose of diameter 2.77 cm fills a 25.0-L bucket in 1.40 min.
(a) What is the speed of the water leaving the end of the hose?
Answer in m/s
(b) A nozzle is now attached to the end of the hose. If the nozzle diameter is one-third the diameter of the hose, what is the speed of the water leaving the nozzle?
Answer in m/s
Last person that answered got the wrong answers (41.18 & 371).
I'm so lost
Well, figure out what I did wrong. (I think nothing)
I did this twice and do not see errors. Did I make some stupid mistake?
Well, it is their word against mine I guess, but check my arithmetic and units carefully

25 L = 25 * 10^-3 m^3
2.77 cm = .0277 m
1.4 min = 84 seconds
flow rate * time = amount
pi r^2 v * 84 = .025 m^3
pi (.0139)^2 v = .025
v = 41.18 m/s
if 1/3 diameter then 1/9 of area so speed is nine times original
371 m/s
