Question
Most towns use a water tower to store water and provide pressure in the pipes that deliver water to customers. The figure below shows a spherical water tank that holds 5.40 10^5 kg of water when full. Note that the tank is vented to the atmosphere at the top and that the pipe delivering water to customer Smith is a height h = 8.25 m above the level of the pipe delivering water to customer Jones. Determine the gauge pressure of the water at the faucet of each house when the tank is full.

Given frictionless flow of water at 125.6 ft'/s in a long, horizontal, conical pipe of diameter 2ft at one end and 6ft at the other. The pressure head at the smaller end is 18ft of water. Find the velocities at two ends and the pressure head at the larger end.arrow_forwardA water sprinkler system discharges water from a horizontal pipe at the rate of 0.0077m /s. At one point in the pipe, where the radius is 0.046m, the water's absolute pressure is 2.4 x 10°Pa. At a second point in the pipe, the water passes through a constriction where the radius is 0.027m. What is the woater's absolute pressure (in Pa) as it flows through this constriction?arrow_forwardMost towns use a water tower to store water and provide pressure in the pipes that deliver water to customers.

- Water flows from a fire truck through a hose that is 11.7 cm in diameter and has a nozzle that is 2.0 cm in diameter. The firemen stand on a hill 3.0 m above the level of the truck. When the water leaves the nozzle, it has a speed of 20.0 m/s. 1) Determine the minimum gauge pressure in the truck's water tank. (Express your answer to two significant figures.)

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? (b) What is the pressure difference between points A and B? Which point has the greater pressure?arrow_forwardA 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?arrow_forward
- Suppose you have a 8.8 cm diameter fire hose with a 3.6 cm diameter nozzle. a) Calculate the pressure drop due to the Bernoulli effect as water enters the nozzle from the hose at the rate of 40.0 L/s. Take 1.00 × 103 kg/m3 for the density of the water. b) To what maximum height, in meters, above the nozzle can this water rise? (The actual height will be significantly smaller due to air resistance.arrow_forwardA 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.
