You have a bucket filled to the brim with water at rest. If you poke a tiny hole 1.0 mm in diameter in the side of the bucket at a point 25 cm below the rim of the bucket, what will be the initial flow rate Q (in units of mL/s) of the stream of water coming out of the hole? Ignore friction and viscosity effects. Hint: Torricelli did the hard work for you; don't overthink it. Just watch those units!

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 pipe with an inner diameter of 2.00 cm is being used to deliver water at an absolute pressure of 4.00 X 105Pa, with constant flow speed of 1.50 m/s. It is then connected to another pipe with a diameter of 1.00 cm placed in the 2nd floor located 5.00m above the first pipe. What is the absolute pressure at the pipe in the 2nd floor?

A typical blood pressure is 120 mm Hg. How high above the injection site 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. Remember, 1 mm Hg = 133 Pa
While taking a shower, you notice that the shower head is made up of 36 small round openings, each with a radius of 2.00 mm. You also determine that it takes 2.00 s for the shower to completely fi a 1.00-liter container you hold in the water stream. The water for the shower is pumped by a pump that is 5.60 m below the level of the shower head. The pump maintains an absolute pressure of 1.50 atm. Use g = 10 m/s?, and assume that 1 atmosphere is 1.0 x 105 Pa. (a) At what speed does the water emerge from the shower head? 1.105 m/s (b) What is the speed of the water in the pipe connected to the pump? m/s (c) What is the cross-sectional area of the pipe connected to the pump? m2
A patient with asthma can experience a constriction of their airways. During a bronchospasm, their airway radius reduces from r=3mm to r=2.5 mm. What is the associated reduction in air flow rate if the change in pressure (ΔP) and length of the tube (L) are 125 Pa and 100mm respectively? Notes: apparent viscosity of air is 1.81x10^-5 Pa·s and flow rate (Q) is given by Poiseuille’s Law Q=(ΔPπr^4)/8ηL)
