large, cylindrical water tank with diameter 3.00 m is on a
platform 2.00 m above the ground. The vertical tank is open to the air
and the depth of the water in the tank is 2.00 m. There is a hole with
diameter 0.500 cm in the side of the tank just above the bottom of the
tank. The hole is plugged with a cork. You remove the cork and collect
in a bucket the water that flows out the hole. (a) When 1.00 gal of water
flows out of the tank, what is the change in the height of the water in the
tank? (b) How long does it take you to collect 1.00 gal of water in the
bucket? Based on your answer in part (a), is it reasonable to ignore
the change in the depth of the water in the tank as 1.00 gal of water
flows out?

- U-shaped tube, open to air on both ends, contains oil. Water is poured into the left arm until the water column is 10 cm deep. What is the height of the oil column (in cm) when the system is in equilibrium? The density of oil is 801 kg/m3arrow_forwardA rectangular bucket, open at the top, is 29.6 cm high and 14.7 cm long, and 11.4 cm wide. A circular hole with a cross-sectional area of 1.91 cm? is cut in the center of the bottom of the bucket. Water flows into the bucket from an external tube above it at the rate of 2.27x10-4 m3/s. What is the maximum height (in meters) reached by the water? Final answer in two decimal places.arrow_forwardA scientist is calculating the density of an ore sample. The scien- tist measures that the ore sample weighs 22.4 N in air. When the sample is suspended by a thin light cord and totally immersed in water, the tension in the cord is 14.2 N. What is the density of the ore sample that the scientist calculates. You can assume that any buoyant force from air is negligible.arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardProblem 3: Water flows through a horizontal cylindrical pipe from a smaller-diameter region to a larger-diameter region. At point A, where the pipe's diameter is 3.5 cm, the water's speed at 25.0 m/s. At point B, the pipe's diameter is 7.0 cm. (a) What is the water's speed at point B?

- Suppose air, with a density of 1.29 kg/m3, is flowing into a Venturi meter. The narrow section of the pipe at point A has a diameter that is 1313 of the diameter of the larger section of the pipe at point B. The U-shaped tube is filled with water and the difference in height between the two sections of pipe is 2.72 cm. How fast is the air moving at point B?arrow_forwardA container with water is pressurized and attached to a hose. The pressure inside the container, P, is set so that when the end of the tube is 4.5 meters above the water level in the container is ejected at 3.5 m/s. The reservoir in the container is large enough that you can ignore the change in height of the water in the container. What is the pressure P in atmospheres?arrow_forwardA typical pressure in a vein is 18 mm Hg. How high would you need to hang an IV bag so that the fluid enters the blood stream at this pressure? Assume the IV fluid has a density of 1000 kg/m3. A nozzle with an area of 0.3 cm2 is attached to a garden hose with an area of 1.5 cm2. The flow rate through the nozzle is 0.12 L/s.What is the speed of the water in the hose in cm/s? (1 L= 1000 cm3) What is the speed of the water in the nozzle in cm/s? (1 L= 1000 cm3)arrow_forward

How high is the water level of this open- top tank?arrow_forwardA water tower is a familiar sight in many towns. The purpose of such a tower is to provide storage capacity and to provide sufficient pressure in the pipes that deliver the water to customers. The drawing shows a spherical reservoir that contains 3.09 x 10 kg of water when full. The reservoir is vented to the atmosphere at the top. For a full reservoir, find the gauge pressure that the water has at the faucet in (a) house A and (b) house B. Ignore the diameter of the delivery pipes.
