This can be understood using conservation of mass. Since water is being neither created nor destroyed, the mass of the water that leaves the faucet in one second must be the same as the amount that flows past a lower point in the same time interval. The water speeds up as it falls, so the two quantities of water can only be equal if the stream is narrower at the bottom. | |

| Feb 12, 2016 at 12:35 | comment | added | Steven Mathey | I find your question unclear. Are you asking 'Is mass conserved when it's made of water falling from a tap? Why? How?' or 'How is the thinning of the water flow related to the conservation of mass?' ? | |
