Question
While taking a shower, you notice that the shower head is made up of 44 small round openings, each with a radius of 2.00 mm. You also determine that it takes 5.00 s for the shower to completely fill a 1.00-liter container you hold in the water stream. The water for the shower is pumped by a pump that is 5.50 m below the level of the shower head. The pump maintains an absolute pressure of 1.50 atm. Use g = 10 m/s2, and assume that 1 atmosphere is 1.0 105 Pa. (a) At what speed does the water emerge from the shower head? (b) What is the speed of the water in the pipe connected to the pump? (c) What is the cross-sectional area of the pipe connected to the pump?

- A water cannon 2.15 m long and with a cross-sectional area of 11.0 cm2 is aimed straight up and ejects water out of the top at a speed of 8.8 m/s. It is fed by a pump at the bottom of the cannon, which has a cross-sectional area of 46.0 cm2. What is the difference in pressure of the water between the pump and the top of the cannon? Assume the density of the water is 998.2 kg/m3.arrow_forwardWater is flowing without friction through a pipe. At the beginning of the pipe the water is flowing with a speed of 2.42 m/s, while at the end of the pipe the water is flowing at 5.74 m/s. The end of the pipe is higher than the beginning of the pipe. If the pressure is 60.8 kPa at the beginning of the pipe and 8.00 kPa at the end of the pipe, how much higher is the end of the pipe from the beginning of the pipe?

Narrow_forwardBlood pressure is measured when the blood is pumping (systolic) and when the heart is resting (diastolic). When pressure readings are given, the systolic is given first, and healthy blood pressure is around 120 over 80 mm Hg. Recall the density of mercury is 13.6 × 103 kg/m3. a. Suppose you have a blood pressure reading of 116 over 82 mm Hg. What is your systolic pressure, in newtons per meter squared? b. Suppose you have a blood pressure reading of 116 over 82 mm Hg.

- A waste management company handles large dumpsters of construction debris. The sorting process starts by downloading the dumpster from the transport truck and then dumping its contents into a large hopper as shown below. The waste management plant uses a hydraulic cylinder arrangement to tilt the dumpster to the point that the force of gravity will empty the contents. The plant operator activates an electric pump that pumps hydraulic oil into the input piston at an absolute pressure of 3.40 x 10° Pa and drives the output plunger, which has a radius of 0.195 m. If the design of the dumping arrangement is such that the output plunger remains perpendicular to the floor of the dumpster, determine the torque the plunger creates about an axis at the end of the dumpster. 2427600 X N. m dumpster 6.00 m output plunger rotation axis input for hydraulic oil hopperarrow_forwardQuestion 7 of 18 You come across an open container that is filled with two liquids. Since the two liquids have different densities, there is a distinct separation between them. Water, which has a density of pw = 1.00 × 10³ kg/m³, fills the lower portion of the container to a depth of 0.200 m. The fluid that is floating on top of the water is 0.307 m deep. If the absolute pressure on the bottom of the container is 1.049 × 10° Pa, what is the density, pi, of the unknown fluid? The acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.81 m/s² and atmospheric pressure is Po = 1.013 x 10° Pa. Pi = kg/m3arrow_forwardA fluid with density 1200 kg/m flows through this pipe.
