A horizontal pipe has a diameter of 1.10 cm at the narrow portion and 4.50 cm at the wide part. Water is flowing in the pipe, and the height difference between the mercury columns in the U-shaped tube is 6.88 cm. Note: density of water = 1.00 x 103 kg/m3, density of mercury = 13.6 x 103 kg/m3. a) Find the water flow speeds at the wide and the narrow portions, b) What is the volume flow rate at the narrow portion?

Water flows from a fire truck through a hose that is 11.7 cm in diameter and has a nozzle that is 2.0 cm in diameter. The firemen stand on a hill 3.0 m above the level of the truck. When the water leaves the nozzle, it has a speed of 20.0 m/s. 1) Determine the minimum gauge pressure in the truck's water tank. (Express your answer to two significant figures.) Pa Submit
Water at a pressure of 4.60 atm at street level flows into an office building at a speed of 0.55 m/s through a pipe 4.80 cm in diameter. The pipes taper down to 2.50 cm in diameter by the top floor, 25.0 m above. Calculate the water pressure in such a pipe on the top floor.
A liquid of density 1350 kg/m3 flows steadily through a pipe of varying diameter and height. At Location 1 along the pipe, the flow speed is 9.83 m/s and the pipe diameter ?1 is 10.9 cm. At Location 2, the pipe diameter ?2 is 17.3 cm. At Location 1, the pipe is Δ?=9.47 m higher than it is at Location 2. Ignoring viscosity, calculate the difference Δ?between the fluid pressure at Location 2 and the fluid pressure at Location 1.
Suppose you have a 8.8 cm diameter fire hose with a 3.6 cm diameter nozzle. a) Calculate the pressure drop due to the Bernoulli effect as water enters the nozzle from the hose at the rate of 40.0 L/s. Take 1.00 × 103 kg/m3 for the density of the water. b) To what maximum height, in meters, above the nozzle can this water rise? (The actual height will be significantly smaller due to air resistance.
A tank holds a large amount of water. A pipe is connected to the tank at the upper end and is open to the air at the lower end (see figure).The upper end of the pipe has a diameter of 17.0 cm. The lower end of the pipe has a diameter of 8.60 cm. The speed of the water at the upper end is 2.00 m/s.What is the flow rate of the water in the pipe?
A typical pressure in a vein is 18 mm Hg. How high would you need to hang an IV bag so that the fluid enters the blood stream at this pressure? Assume the IV fluid has a density of 1000 kg/m3. A nozzle with an area of 0.3 cm2 is attached to a garden hose with an area of 1.5 cm2. The flow rate through the nozzle is 0.12 L/s.What is the speed of the water in the hose in cm/s? (1 L= 1000 cm3) What is the speed of the water in the nozzle in cm/s? (1 L= 1000 cm3)
Water at a pressure of 3.85 x 105 N/m2 at street level flows into an office building at a speed of 0.68 m/s through a pipe with a radius of 2.5 cm. The pipe tapers down to 1.4 cm in diameter by the top floor, 18 m above the street. The flow speed is 2.2 m/s at the top floor. Calculate the pressure in the pipe on the top floor.
A water pipe having a 2.92 cm inside diameter carries water into the basement of a house at a speed of 0.936 m/s and a pressure of 185 kPa. If the pipe tapers to 1.57 cm and rises to the second floor 6.94 m above the input point, what are the (a) speed and (b) water pressure at the second floor?
