    This document contains a 10 question multiple choice practice test on fluid mechanics for AP Physics along with a 3 part free response question about calculating properties of a water fountain. The multiple choice questions cover topics like buoyancy, pressure, flow rate, and fluid dynamics. The free response question asks the test taker to (a) calculate the volume flow rate of the fountain, (b) calculate the absolute pressure in the pipe feeding the fountain, and (c) calculate the radius needed for a new nozzle to launch the water 4 meters high with the same flow rate.

    Part II- Free Response

    A fountain with an opening of radius 0.015 m shoots a stream of water vertically from ground level at 6.0
    m/s. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3.

    (a) Calculate the volume rate of flow of water.

    (b) The fountain is fed by a pipe that at one point has a radius of 0.025 m and is 2.5 m below the
    fountain’s opening. Calculate the absolute pressure in the pipe at this point.

    (c) The fountain owner wants to launch the water 4.0 m into the air with the same volume flow rate. A
    nozzle can be attached to change the size of the opening. Calculate the radius needed on this new nozzle.
