CP A large tank of water has a hose connected to it (Fig. P18.59). The tank is sealed at the top and has compressed air between the water surface and the top. When the water height h has the value 3.50 m, the absolute pressure p of the compressed air is 4.20 × 105 Pa. Assume that I he air above the water expands at constant temperature, and take the atmospheric pressure to be 1.00 × 105 Pa. (a) What is the speed with which water flows out of the hose when h = 3.50 m? (b) As water flows out of the tank, h decreases. Calculate the speed of flow for h = 3.00 m and for h = 2.00 m. (c) At what value of h does the flow stop?

- An airtight dispenser for drinking water is 25 cm × 10 cm in horizontal dimensions and 20 cm tall. It has a tap of negligible volume that opens at the level of the bottom of the dispenser. Initially, it contains Water to a level 3.0 cm from the top and air at the ambient pressure, 1.00 atm, from there to the top. When the tap is opened, water will flow out until the gauge pressure at the bottom of dispenser, and thus at the opening of the tap, is 0. What volume of water flows out? Assume the temperature is constant, the dispenser is perfectly rigid, and the water has a constant density of 1000 kg/m3.arrow_forwardA car engine moves a piston with a circular cross-section of 73000.002cm in diameter a distance of 3.2500.001cm to compress the gas in the cylinder.

The piston is not restricted in its motion in any way and is supported by the gas at pressure P below it. Atmospheric pressure is P0. We wish to find the height h in Figure P18.40. (a) What analysis model is appropriate to describe the piston? (b) Write an appropriate force equation for the piston from this analysis model in terms of P, P0, m, A, and g.

A 20.0-kg piston is now lowered into the cylinder, compressing the air trapped inside as it takes equilibrium height hi (Fig. P16.74b).
