- Water flows with a constant speed through a pipe of constant cross-sectional area in the ground floor (y1=0m) of a house. The pipe rises (y2=5.0m) to reach a shower head on the second floor. The pressure at ground level is 140kPa. a) what is the pressure at the shower head? b) what is the maximum height that water from the ground level could reach?arrow_forwarda 0.140 m high cylinder is filled with mercury (density=13600 kg/m3) what is the pressure at the bottom of the cylinderarrow_forwardA container is filled to a depth of 19.0 cm with water.

- A liquid is flowing through a horizontal pipe whose radius is 0.0301 m. The pipe bends straight upward through a height of 8.80 m and joins another horizontal pipe whose radius is 0.0726 m. What volume flow rate will keep the pressures in the two horizontal pipes the same? Number Units 202arrow_forwardA liquid-filled tube called a manometer can be used to measure the pressure inside a container by comparing it to the atmospheric pressure and measuring the height of the liquid. Such a device (filled with water) is shown in the figure, measuring the pressure inside a balloon filled with an unknown gas. The water level on the side of the manometer which is open to the air is 22.3 cm higher than on the side connected to the balloon. a) Find the gauge pressure in the balloon, in units of Pa. Recall the density of water is 1000 kg/m3. b) Find the absolute pressure in the balloon, in units of Pa.arrow_forwardWill the force exerted on the bottom of the tube increase if the diameter (d) of the tube increases and the height of the water column is maintained? 2. Since P = F/A, will increasing the weight of the water in the tube affect the pressure exerted on the bottom of the tube?arrow_forward
- A force of 120.0 N is applied to 2.000 cm diameter piston, which is in contact with a closed container of water (density of water = 1,000 kg/m3). A second piston, with a diameter of 25.00 cm and at the same height as the first piston, is also in contact with the water. What force does the water pressure exert on the second piston?
