- Water is supplied to an office building 30.0 m high through a pipe at ground level. (a) Find the minimum pressure in the supply pipe so that water can reach the top floor of the building. (b)Suppose the pressure in the supply pipe is designed so that water can flow out through a much smaller pipe on the top floor at a speed of 5.0 m/s. Find the pressure in the larger pipe on the ground floor.Water is pumped through a pipe of diameter 15.0cm from the Colorado River up to Grand Canyon Village on the rim of the canyon. The river is at 564m elevation and the village is at 2 096 in(a) At What minimum pressure must the water be pumped to arrive at the village? b) If 4500 m3 are pumped per day what is the speed of the water in the pipe? (c) What additional pressure is necessary to deliver this flow? Note you may assume the free- fall acceleration and the density of air are constant over the given range of elevations.A sealed tank containing seawater to a height of 12.0 m also contains air above the water at a gauge pressure of 3.05 atm. Water flows out from the bottom through a small hole. Calculate the speed with which the water comes out of the tank. Express your answer in meters per second.
- A sump pump (used to drain water from the basement of houses built below the water table) is draining a flooded basement at the rate of 0.75 L/s, with an output pressure of 1.5×10^5 Pa. (a) The water enters a hose with a 2.8 cm inside diameter and rises 2.2 m above the pump. What is its pressure at this point? (b) The hose goes over the foundation wall, losing 0.55 m in height, and widens to 6.6 cm in diameter. What is the pressure now? You may neglect frictional losses in both parts of the problem.A cylindrical bucket, open at the top, is 35.0cm high and 9.0cm in diameter. A circular hole with a cross-sectional area 1.75cm^2 is cut in the center of the bottom of the bucket. Water flows into the bucket from a tube above it at the mtc of 3.20x10-4 m3/s. How high will the water in the bucket rise?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.
- 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.Hello, Can I please have help regarding this problem ? Thanks.
