A man attaches a divider to an outdoor faucet so that water flows through a single pipe of radius 9.25 mm into four pipes, each with a radius of 5.60 mm. If water flows through the single pipe at 1.45 m/s, calculate the speed (in m/s) of the water in the narrower pipes.

A water tower supplies water through the plumbing in a house. A 2.39-cm-diameter faucet in the house can fill a cylindrical container with a diameter of 41.3 cm and a height of 52.0 cm in 12.0 s. How high above the faucet is the top of the water in the tower? (Assume that the diameter of the tower is so large compared to that of the faucet that the water at the top of the tower does not move.)
If it takes 2.15 min to fill a 23.0 L bucket with water flowing from a garden hose of diameter 3.10 cm, determine the speed at which water is traveling through the hose. If a nozzle with a diameter two-fifths the diameter of the hose is attached to the hose, determine the speed of the water leaving the nozzle.
A fish tank has dimensions 42 cm wide by 1.0 m long by 0.80 m high.If the filter should process all the water in the tank once every 3.0 h, what should the flow speed be in the 3.0-cm- diameter input tube for the filter?Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
A U-shaped tube is filled with water until the liquid level reaches B=36 cm above the bottom of the tube, as shown in the figure below. The areas of the two arms of the tube are equal. An oil, which has a density 90% of the density of water, is now poured into one arm of the U-tube until the water level in the other arm of the tube reaches A = 42 cm above the bottom of the tube. Calculate the height H of the oil column and mark the alternative that is closest to the value found. Choose the correct alternative: a) 20/3 m b) 9/2 m c) 40/3 m d) 9 m
Hot water with a density of 980 kg/m3 flows through a 51.2 mm diameter round pipe at 1.25 m/s. What is the mass flow rate (in kg/s) of the water How many significant figures should be used in the final answer?
If a kitchen sink has a volume of 20 L. Water flows in the sink with a mass flow rate of 0.5 kg/s. If the drain is closed, how long, in seconds, does it take for the sink to fill up? Density of water = 1000 kg/m3
A water barometer is used to measure air pressure in a duct where the air is being forced to ventilate a building. One end of the barometer is open to the atmosphere, and the other end is open to the inside of the ductwork. When the tube is bent in the shape of a U, the technician notes that the water level on the side toward the duct is lower than the side toward the atmosphere by 13.4 cm. What is the pressure difference in N/m2? The density of water is 1 gm/cm3 or 1000 kg/m3. Use 9.8 m/s2 for the acceleration of gravity.
Water is flowing continuously from a tap having an internal diameter 8 x 10-3 m. The water velocity as it leaves the tap is 0.4 ms1. The diameter of the water stream at a distance 2 x 10-1 m below the tap is close to (a) 5.0 × 10-3 m (b) 7.5 x 10-3 m (c) 9.6 x 10-3 m (d) 3.6 x 10-3 m
Water flows in the system shown below. The flow exits the pipe at a speed of 4.0 m/s.(a). What is the water pressure when it exits the pipe?(b). What is the height of the column of water?
A horizontally oriented hypodermic syringe has a barrel diameter of 1.2 cm and a needle diameter of 2.4 mm. A plunger pushes liquid in the barrel at a rate of 4.0 mm/s. Calculate the flow rate of liquid in both parts of the syringe (in mL/s) and the velocity of the liquid emerging from the needle.
