You can find it very easily take a 5 gallon pale see how long it takes to fill the bucket suppose it fills in 12 seconds then
multiply it 5 with 60 and divide by 12 and the answer is 25 gallon per minute.

Something is missing in your question. If you ignore the pipe frictional loss (Impractical Case), then you can calculate through the famous Bernoulli's equation. But you definitely need the diameter of your hosepipe to calculate that.
Well, you may get the kinetic term of the above formula is (Absolute Pressure and height is not a great different)
P = 0.5 x density x velocity^2
Once you get the velocity, just multiply them with the area of the hosepipe and you will get the water in use in gallon, or meter cube or cm cube or so on.

It depends on the diameter of the pipe, type of pipe, length of pipe, elevation, any angles or corners, basically anything that can contribute to friction loss.

pressure=60 psi
diameter of hose pipe?
fluid=water.
flow=area*velocity
v=sqrt(2*g*h)..................(1)
p=specific gravity*h,p is given,so h can be calculated.
from (1),velocity can be calculated.
so, for calculating flow diameter of hose pipe is required.
