water from a reservoir is being supplied to a powerhouse that is located at an elevation 935 ft below that of the reservoir surface. Discharging through a nozzle, the water has a jet velocity of 240 fps and a jet diameter of 6 in. Find the horsepower lost to friction between the reservoir and the jet, and find the horsepower of the jet.
