The figure below shows a liquid being pushed out of a tube by a piston having a cross-sectional area of $2.0\,cm^2$. The cross-sectional area at the outlet is $10\,mm^2$. If the piston is pushed at a speed of $4\,cm/s$,the speed of the outgoing fluid is $.........\,cm/s$.

Fountains usually seen in gardens are generated by a wide pipe with an enclosure at one end having many small holes. Consider one such fountain which is produced by a pipe of internal diameter $2 \ cm$ in which water flows at a rate $3 \ ms^{-1}$. The enclosure has $100$ holes each of diameter $0.05 \ cm$. The velocity of water coming out of the holes is (in $ms^{-1}$):
