  1. A sprinkler shown in the figure rotates about its hinge point in a horizontal plane due to water flow discharged through its two exit nozzles.

    The total flow rate Q through the sprinkler is 1 litre/sec and the cross-sectional area of each exit nozzle is 1 cm². Assuming equal flow rate through both arms and a frictionless hinge, the steady state angular speed of rotation (rad/s) of the sprinkler is _______ (correct to two decimal places).
    1. ω = 10 rad/s
    2. ω = 9 rad/s
    3. ω = 8 rad/s
    4. ω = 11 rad/s
Correct Option: A
