The gravitational force exerted on a solid object is 5.00 N. When the object is suspended from a spring scale and submerged in water, the scale reads 3.50 N (Fig. P15.24). Find the density of the object. Figure P15.24 Problems 24 and 25.
Review. The tank in Figure P15.13 is filled with water of depth d = 2.00 m. At the bottom of one sidewall is a rectangular hatch of height h = 1.00 m and width w = 2.00 m that is hinged at the top of the hatch. (a) Determine the magnitude of the force the water exerts on the hatch. (b) Find the magnitude of the torque exerted by the water about the hinges.
(a) What is the density of a woman who floats in freshwater with 4.00% of her volume above the surface? This could be measured by placing her in a tank with marks on the side to measure how much water she displaces when floating and when held under water (briefly). (b) What percent of her volume is above the surface when she floats in seawater?
Gasoline is piped underground from refineries to major users. The flow rate is 3.00102 m3/s (about 500 gal/ min), the viscosity of gasoline is 1.00103 (N/m2) s, and its density is 680 kg/m3. (a) What minimum diameter must the pipe have if the Reynolds number is to be less than 2000? (b) What pressure difference must be maintained along each kilometer of the pipe to maintain this flow rate?
Pressure in the spinal fluid is measured as shown in Figure 11.43. If the pressure in the spinal fluid is 10.0 mm Hg: (a) What is the reading of the water manometer in cm water? (b) What is the reading if the person sits up, placing the top of the fluid 60 cm above the tap? The fluid density is 1.05 g/mL. Figure 11.43 A water manometer used to measure pressure in the spinal fluid. The height of the fluid in the manometer is measured relative to the spinal column, and the manometer is open to the atmosphere. The measured pressure will be considerably greater if the person sits up.
A fluid flows through a horizontal pipe that widens, making a 45 angle with the y axis (Fig. P15.48). The thin part of the pipe has radius R, and the fluids speed in the thin part of the pipe is v0. The origin of the coordinate system is at the point where the pipe begins to widen. The pipes cross section is circular. a. Find an expression for the speed v(x) of the fluid as a function of position for x 0 b. Plot your result: v(x) versus x. FIGURE P15.48 (a) The continuity equation (Eq. 15.21) relates the cross-sectional area to the speed of the fluid traveling through the pipe. A0v0 = A(x)v(x) v(x)=A0v0A(x) The cross sectional area is the area of a circle whose radius is y(x). The widening pan of the pipe is a straight line with slope of 1 and intercept y(0) = R. y(x) = mx + b = x + R A(x) = [y(x)]2 = (x + R)2 Plug this into the formula for the velocity. Plug this into the formula for the velocity. v(x)=A0v0(x+R)2

Liquid toxic waste with a density of 1752 kg/m3 is flowing through a section of pipe with a radius of 0.312 m at a velocity of 1.64 m/s. a. What is the velocity of the waste after it goes through a constriction and enters a second section of pipe with a radius of 0.222 m? b. If the waste is under a pressure of 850,000 Pa in the first section of pipe, what is the pressure in the second (constricted) section of pipe?
(a) What is the pressure drop due to the Bernoulli effect as water goes into a 3.00-cm-diameter nozzle from a 9.00-cm-diameter fire hose while carrying a flow of 40.0 L/S? (b) To what maximum height above the nozzle can this water rise? (The actual height will be significantly smaller due to air resistance.)
