- Water is flowing without friction through a pipe. At the beginning of the pipe the water is flowing with a speed of 2.42 m/s, while at the end of the pipe the water is flowing at 5.74 m/s. The end of the pipe is higher than the beginning of the pipe. If the pressure is 60.8 kPa at the beginning of the pipe and 8.00 kPa at the end of the pipe, how much higher is the end of the pipe from the beginning of the pipe? [Answer in metres to 2 decimal places, but do not enter units with your answer] Your Answer: Your AnswerA horizontal pipe has a constriction in it as shown in the figure below, At point 1 the diameter is 6.0 cm, while at point 2 is only 2.0 cm. At point 1, v1 = 2.0m/s and P1 = 180 kPa. Calculate v2 and P2.A viewing window on the side of a large tank at a public aquarium measures 49 in. by 54 in. The average gauge pressure from the water is 6 psi. What is the total outward force on the window?
- 3 8.54A sphygmomanometer is a device used to measure blood pressure, typically consisting of an inflatable cuff and a manometer used to measure air pressure in the cuff. In a mercury sphygmomanometer, blood pressure is related to the difference in helghts between two columns of mercury. The mercury sphygmomanometer shown in the figure below contains air at the cuff pressure P. Po The difference in mercury heights between the left tube and the right tube is h= 109 mmtg - 0.109 m, a normal systolic reading. What is the gauge systolic blood pressure Poauge in pascals? The density of mercury is p 13.6 x 10 kg/m and the ambient pressure is Po1.01 x 10 Pa. HINT PaQ17
- A car driver measures a tire pressure of 220 kPa. Whatis the absolute pressure in the tire?Note: FBD is mandatory,So please include it.In scuba diving, a regulator is used so that the pressure of the air the diver breathes is close to that of the ambient water. A reckless swimmer decides to use a hose sticking out of the surface to breathe underwater while diving in a lake. When the air pressure in the lungs is at a pressure of around 0.150 atmospheres below the ambient pressure, lung injury may occur. Find the depth at which the swimmer would experience such a pressure differential.
- A viewing window on the side of a large tank at a public aquarium measures 50 in. by 60 in. The average gauge pressure from the water is 8 psi. What is the total outward force on the window?At the surface of a freshwater lake, the pressure is 105 kPa. What is the approximate pressure decrease in going 42.6 m above the surface? Air at 20°C has density of 1.20 kg/m3. in kPa What is the approximate pressure decrease in going 42.6 m above the surface? Air at 20°C has density of 1.20 kg/m3. In paThe pressure inside a champagne bottle can be quite high and can launch a cork explosively. Suppose you open a bottle at sea level. The absolute pressure inside a champagne bottle is 6 times atmospheric pressure; the cork has a mass of 7.5 g and a diameter of 18 mm. Assume that once the cork starts to move, the only force that matters is the pressure force. What is theacceleration of the cork?
