- A garden hose with a diameter of 2.0 cm is used to fill a bucket, which has a volume of 0.10 cubic meters. It takes 1.2 minutes to fill. An adjustable nozzle is attached to the hose to decrease the diameter of the opening, which increases the speed of the water. The hose is held level to the ground at a height of 1.0 meters and the diameter is decreased until a flower bed 3.0 meters away is reached. (a) What is the volume flow rate of the through the nozzle when the diameter 2.0 cm? (b) What does is the speed of coming out of the hose? (c) What does the speed of the water coming out of the hose need to be to reach the flower bed 3.0 meters away? (d) What is be diameter of nozzle needed to reach be flower bed?arrow_forwardA host pours the remnants of several of wine into a jug a party. The host then inserts a cork with a 2.00-cm diameter into the bottle, placing it in direct contact with the wine. The host is amazed when the host pounds the cork into place and the bottom of the jug (with a 14.0-cm diameter) breaks away. Calculate the extra force exerted against the bottom if he pounded the cork with a 120-N force.arrow_forwardWhy does a bicycle pump feel warm as you inflate your tire?arrow_forward
- A sump pump (used to drain water from be basement of houses built below the water table) is draining a flooded basement at rate of 0.750 L/S, with an output pressure of 3.00105N/m2 . (a) The water enters a hose with a 3.00-cm inside diameter and rises 2.50 m above the pump. What is its pressure at this point? (b) The hose goes over the foundation wall, losing 0.500 m in height and widens to 4.00 cm in diameter. What is the pressure now? You may neglect frictional losses both parts of the problem.arrow_forwardA scuba diver makes a slow descent into the depths of the ocean. His vertical position with respect to a boat on the surface changes several times. He makes the first stop 9.0 m from the boat but has a problem with equalizing the pressure, so he ascends 3.0 m and then continues descending for another 12.0 m to the second stop. From there, he ascends 4 m and then descends for 18.0 m, ascends again for 7 m and descends again for 24.0 m, where he makes a stop, waiting for his buddy. Assuming the positive direction up to the surface, express his net vertical displacement vector in terms of the unit vector. What is his distance to the boat?arrow_forwardA 75.0-kg floats in freshwater 3.00% of his volume above water when his are empty, and 5.00% of his volume above water when his lungs are full.

- Verify that work input equals work output for a hydraulic system assuming no losses due to fiction. Do this by showing that distance output force moves is reduced by the same factor output force is increased. Assume the volume of the fluid is constant. What effect would friction within the fluid and between components in the system have output force? How would this depend on whether or not fluid is moving?arrow_forwardVerigy that the SI of hpg is N/m2.arrow_forwardWhen a person sits erect, increasing the vertical position of their brain by 36.0 cm, the heart must continue to pump blood to the brain at the same rate.

(c) Discuss how the gain in gravitational potential energy and the decrease in pressure are related.arrow_forward
- Water pressure inside a hose nozzle can be less than atmospheric pressure due to the Bernoulli effect. Explain in terms of energy how the water can emerge from the nozzle against the opposing atmospheric pressure.arrow_forwardBecause atmospheric pressure is about 105 N/m2 and the area of a persons chest is about 0.13 m2, the force of the atmosphere on ones chest is around 13 000 N. In view of this enormous force, why dont our bodies collapse?arrow_forwardWater supplied to a house by a water main has a pressure of 3.00105N/m2 early on a summer day when neighborhood use is low. This pressure produces a flow of 20.0 L/min through a garden hose. Later in the day, pressure at the exit of the water main and entrance to the house drops, and a flow of only 8.00 L/min is obtained through the same hose. (a) What pressure is now being supplied to the house, assuming resistance is constant? (b) By what factor did the flow rate be water main increase in order to cause this decrease in delivered pressure? The pressure at the entrance of the water main is 5.00105N/m2 , and the original rate was 200 L/min. (c) How many more users are there, assuming each would consume 20.0 L/min in be morning?arrow_forward
