A person is filling a knee-high bucket with water using a garden hose and holding it such that water discharges from the hose at the level of his waist. Someone suggests that the bucket will fill faster if the hose is lowered such that water discharges from the hose at knee level. Do you agree with this suggestion? Disregard any frictional effects.

Yes i am agree with this suggestion

Explanation:

Given that we have to assume that there is no any frictional affects.

As we know that when height increases then the discharge level will decreases when discharge level decreases then the time of filling for the bucket will increase. So the bucket will fill faster if the hose lowered until knee level.

Yes i am agree with this suggestion
