A 15.0 m tall water tower in Mount Pearl, off Wyatt Boulevard, is filled to the top with fresh St. John's tapwater. Due to several days of wildly fluctuating temperatures a small hole forms in a seal between sections of the tower 10.0 m above the ground. What is the speed of the water spilling from the hole in the water tower?

Water emerges straight down from a faucet with a 1.80-cm diameter at a speed of 0.500 m/s. (Because of the construction of the faucet, there is no variation in speed across the stream.) (a) What is flow rate in cm3/s? (b) What is the diameter of the stream 0.200 m below the faucet? Neglect any effects due to surface tension.
A large storage tank with an open top is filled to a height h0. The tank is punctured at a height h above the bottom of the tank (Fig. P15.39). Find an expression for how far from the tank the exiting stream lands. Figure P15.39
(a) What is the density of a woman who floats in freshwater with 4.00% of her volume above the surface? This could be measured by placing her in a tank with marks on the side to measure how much water she displaces when floating and when held under water (briefly). (b) What percent of her volume is above the surface when she floats in seawater?
(a) Estimate the time it would take to fill a private swimming pool with a capacity of 80,000 L using a garden hose delivering 60 L/min. (b) How long would it take to fill if you could divert a moderate size river, flowing at 5000 m3/s, into it?
Liquid toxic waste with a density of 1752 kg/m3 is flowing through a section of pipe with a radius of 0.312 m at a velocity of 1.64 m/s. a. What is the velocity of the waste after it goes through a constriction and enters a second section of pipe with a radius of 0.222 m? b. If the waste is under a pressure of 850,000 Pa in the first section of pipe, what is the pressure in the second (constricted) section of pipe?
A container of water has a cross-sectional area of A=0.1m2 . A piston sits top of the water (see be following figure). There is a spout located 0.15 m from the bottom of tank, open to the atmosphere, and a stream of water exits the spout. The cross sectional area of the spat is As=7.0104m2 . (a) What is the velocity of the water as it leaves the spout? (b) If the opening of the spout is located 1.5 m above the grand, how far from be pout does water hit the floor? Ignore friction and dissipative forces.
A rock with a mass of 540 g in air is found to have an apparent mass of 342 g when submerged in water. (a) What mass of water is displaced? (b) What is the volume of the rock? (c) What is its average density? Is this consistent with the value for granite?
In an immersion measurement of a woman's density, she is found to have a mass of 62.0 kg in air an apparent mass of 0.0850 kg completely submerged with lungs empty. (a) What of water does she displace? (b) What is her volume? (c) Calculate her density. (d) If her lung capacity is 1.7S L, is she able to that without treading water with her lungs filled air?
In an immersion measurement of a woman's density, she is found to have a mass of 62.0 kg in air and an apparent mass of 0.0850 kg when completely submerged with lungs empty. (a) What mass of water does she displace? (b) What is her volume? (c) Calculate her density. (d) If her lung capacity is 1.75 L is she able to float without treading water with her lungs filled with air?
The flow rate of blood through 2.00106 -m-radius capillary is 3.80109 cm3/s. (a) What is the speed of the blood flow? (This small speed allows time for diffusion of materials to and from the blood.) (b) Assuming all the blood in the body passes through capillaries, how many of them must there be to carry a total flow of 90.0 cm3/s? (The large number obtained is an overestimate, but it is still reasonable.)
