10) Water circulates throughout an apartment complex in a hot water heating system. (a) If the water is pumped at a speed of 0.50 m/s through a 4.0 cm diameter pipe under a pressure of 3.1 × 105 Pa, what will be the velocity and pressure in a 2.6 cm diameter pipe on the second floor 5.0 m above? (b)If the apartment building is 8 floors total, will there be enough pressure for the water to get to the top floor? Explain your reasoning. (You can assume every floor is 5m and that the pipe size stays 2.6 cm)

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.
In medical work, pressures are often measured in units of mm of H2O because body fluids, including the cerebrospinal fluid, typically have nearly the same density as water. The pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid can be measured by means of a spinal tap. A hollow tube is inserted into the spinal column, and the height to which the fluid rises is observed. If the fluid rises to a height of 160 mm, we write its gauge pressure as 160 mm H2O. (a) Express this pressure in pascals, in atmospheres, and in millimeters of mercury. (b) Sometimes it is necessary to determine whether an accident victim has suffered a crushed vertebra that is blocking the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the spinal column. In other cases, a physician may suspect that a tumor or other growth is locking the spinal column and inhibiting the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. Such conditions can be investigated by means of the Queckensted test. In this procedure the veins in the patient’s neck are compressed, to make the…
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 mix of mostly high fructose corn syrup and other special ingredients, with a viscosity of 0.157 Pa · s, is carried through a pipe in a candy factory. That pipe is laid out horizontally, has a length of 54.2 m, a radius of 0.936 cm and a volume flow rate of 6.1 x10-5 m3/s. At the output end of the pipe the pressure is atmospheric pressure. What is the absolute pressure at the input end?
A whale can reach depths of 2551 m below the surface of the ocean. What is the pressure on the whale’s skin at that depth, assuming that the density of seawater is constant from the surface to that depth? The density of seawater at the surface is 1025 kg/m3.
In an industrial cooling process, water is circulated through a system. If water is pumped with a speed of 5.20 m/s under a pressure of 5.00*10^5 Pa from the first floor through a 3.80-cm diameter pipe, what will be the pressure on the next floor 3.50 m above in a pipe with a diameter of 3.00 cm?
Water is flowing smoothly through a closed-pipe system. At one point, the speed of the water is 3.0 m/s, while at another point 1.0 m higher, the speed is 4.0 m/s. If the pressure is 20 kPa at the lower point, what is the pressure at the upper point? What would the pressure at the upper point be if the water were to stop flowing and the pressure at the lower point were 18 kPa?
An electrical short cuts off all power to a submersible diving vehicle when it is a distance of 26 m below the surface of the ocean. The crew must push out a hatch of area 0.55 m2 and weight 350 N on the bottom to escape. a)If the pressure inside is 1.0 atm, what downward force must the crew exert on the hatch to open it? Express your answer in newtons.
