The water coming out of a faucet becomes narrower as it descends to the law of continuity. A1 x v1 = A2 x v2, or the product of the cross section of the substance in flow at one point and its speed must be equal to the product of the cross section and speed at the next point. In the case of water falling, it is subjected to the acceleration of gravity. To accommodate the increase in speed the cross section of water flowing to the next point will decrease until the water reaches terminal velocity.

Narrows.


Why does a stream of water get narrower as it falls from a faucet?

It is because velocity is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area. As the water runs down from the faucet it changes velocity because of the pull of gravity, hence the liquid will be narrower as it falls down the ground.


How do you connect water lines to a kitchen faucet when the line coming out of the faucet is copper and the nut is stripped?

I have never seen a faucet that has a nut on the line coming out of it. Usually it is a male connection and the nut is on the supply line between the faucet and the house supply. Anyway, if the line coming out of the faucet is messed up, you could probably cut it and use a compression fitting to go between the faucet and the supply line to the house line.

Why is there no water coming out of sink faucet in bathroom but tub faucet works?

The shut off valve under the sink, the faucet itself, or most likely, the screen in the end of the spout is plugged. If neither hot or cold is coming out, it is kind of unlikely both shut off valves and both sides of the faucet would go bad at the same time. The screen being clogged would stop any water from coming out. The screen just unscrews out of the spout.
