Chapter 14, Problem 37SP

A pump lifts water at the rate of 9.0 liters/s from a lake through a 5.0-cm-i.d. pipe and discharges it into the air at a point 16 m above the level of the water in the lake. What are the theoretical (a) velocity of the water at the point of discharge and (b) power delivered by the pump.

A water trough has a semicircular cross section with a radius of 0.3 m and a length of 1 m (see figure). a. How much work is required to pump the water out of the trough (to the level at the top of the trough) when it is full? Use 1000 kg/m³ for the density of water and 9.8 m/s² for the acceleration due to gravity. b. If the length is doubled, is the required work doubled? Explain. c. If the radius is doubled, is the required work doubled? Explain. 1 m 0.3 m
