Ignore air resistance and assume the nozzle location is the origin Let 'v' be the water velocity at the hose Let 't' be the time the water takes from hose to flame. Let 'd' be the horizontal distance to the flame Let 'h' be the vertical distance to the flame horizontal analysis vcosθ(t) d t d/vcosθ vertical analysis h vsinθ(t) + ?gt? h vsinθ(d/vcosθ) + ?g(d/vcosθ)? h dtanθ + ?g(d?/v?cos?θ) h - dtanθ ?g(d?/v?cos?θ) v? gd? / 2cos?θ(h - dtanθ) v?
