THEORY/PRINCIPLE
The movement of the water particles in a
jet of water can be taken as an example of a projectile motion
under the acceleration due to gravity g. So, its
range can be given by

water is
(a) same for fwo complimentary angles (like for 15 and 75°, 30 and 60°)
(b) maximum for the angle of projection of ..4.S degree. This angle will be almost 45.
PRECAUTIONS
1. There should not be any leakage in the pipe and the pressure with which the water is released from
the nozzle should not vary during the
experiment.
2 There should be a constant water level in the reservoir in order to keep the velocity of projection
constant.
3. The centre of area where the water strikes the ground should be considered for measuring the
range of ater jet.
4 The small nozzle should be used in order to get a thin stream of water
5. The measurement of angle of inclination should be done carefully.
6 The trajectory of water should exactlylie on the plane ofthe protractor.
7. The point of return of the jet of water should be sharp.
