You and your father are designing a waterfall for your backyard swimming pool. At the top of the waterfall is a tank containing water that is kept to a depth d = 0.280 m by a pump. As shown, there is a small hatch of height h = 0.100 m and width w = 0.150 m, hinged at the top, that can be used to turn on and turn off the supply of water to the waterfall. You want to attach a simple latch at the center of the bottom of the hatch and are trying to decide what type of latch to buy at your local hardware store. To make that decision, you need to determine the force that the latch must be able to withstand to keep the hatch closed.
A water tank of constant depth H, open to the atmosphere, is connected to the piping system, as shown in Figure P8.45. After a length of pipe L of diameter D, the diameter decreases smoothly to a value of D/2 and then continues on for another length L before exiting to atmosphere. The flow is turbulent and the friction factor f is the same for all piping. CD1 and CD2 are the loss coefficients for the entry and exit. Calculate the depth of the tank required to produce a mean exit velocity of V .
(a) Determine the work done on a fluid that expands from i to f as indicated in Figure P12.10. (b) How much work is done on the fluid if it is compressed from f to i along the same path?

- A 50.0-kg woman wearing high-heeled shoes is invited into a home in which the kitchen has vinyl floor covering. The heel on each shoe is circular and has a radius of 0.500 cm. (a) If the woman balances on one heel, what pressure does she exert on the floor? (b) Should the homeowner be concerned? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardA uniform wooden board of length L and mass M is hinged at the top of a vertical wall of a container partially filled with a certain liquid (Fig. P15.81). (If there were no liquid in the container, the board would hang straight down.) Three-fifths of the length of the board is submerged in the liquid when the board is in equilibrium. Find the ratio of the densities of the liquid and the board.arrow_forwardThe tympanic membrane, or eardrum, is a structure that separates the external and middle parts of the ear (see the figure). It is sensitive to and vibrates in response to changes in air pressure and transmits these vibrations to other structures in the inner ear that lead to the sensation of hearing. Under normal conditions, the pressure on the inside and outside of the tympanic membrane are kept approximately equal. The auditory tube, also called the Eustachian tube, is responsible for this equilibration. However, rapid changes in external pressure can cause large pressure differentials on the tympanic membrane, causing it to rupture. A differential force across the eardrum membrane as little as 5.0 N can cause a rupture. (a) If the cross-sectional area of the membrane is 1.0 cm², what is the maximum tolerable pressure difference between the external and inner ear?

If the tank is full of water, how much work is required to pump the water to the level of the top of the tank and out of the tank?

Is it true that it takes half as much work to pump the water out of the tank when it is half full as when it is full? Explain. 5 m 8 marrow_forwardFigure P9.85 shows a water tank with a valve.

- A sphygmomanometer is a device used to measure blood pressure, typically consisting of an inflatable cuff and a manometer used to measure air pressure in the cuff. In a mercury sphygmomanometer, blood pressure is related to the difference in heights between two columns of mercury.The mercury sphygmomanometer shown in Figure P9.15 contains air at the cuff pressure P. The difference in mercury heights between the left tube and the right tube is h = 115 mmHg = 0.115 m, a normal systolic reading. What is the gauge systolic bloodpressure Pgauge in pascals? The density of mercury is p = 13.6 × 103 kg/m3 and the ambient pressure is P0 = 1.01 × 105 Pa. Figure P9.15arrow_forwardA tank holds a large amount of water. A pipe is connected to the tank at the upper end and is open to the air at the lower end (see figure).The upper end of the pipe has a diameter of 20.0 cm and is h1 = 2.30-m above the ground. The lower end of the pipe has a diameter of 6.80 cm and is h2 = 0.550-m above the ground. The pressure in the water at the upper end of the pipe is 1.80 atm. The water at the upper end of the pipe has a speed of 1.631 m/s.What is the speed of the water in the pipe at the lower end of the pipe?arrow_forwardQ. Blood flow.

- Pressure cookers have been around for more than 300 years, although their use has strongly declined in recent years (early models had a nasty habit of exploding). How much force (in N) must the latches holding the lid onto a pressure cooker be able to withstand if the circular lid is 27.0 cm in diameter and the gauge pressure inside is 3.00 atm? Neglect the weight of the lid. 11632.1 XNarrow_forwardA sump pump (used to drain water from the basement of houses built below the water table) is draining a flooded basement at the rate of 0.85 L/s, with an output pressure of 3.05 × 105 Pa. a. The water enters a hose with a 2.8 cm inside diameter and rises 2.4 m above the pump. What is its pressure at this point, in pascals? You may neglect frictional losses. b. The hose then goes over the foundation wall, losing 0.35 m in height, and widens to 4.4 cm in diameter. What is the pressure now, in pascals? You may neglect frictional losses.arrow_forwardIn large buildings, hot water in a water tank is circulated through a loop so that the user doesn’t have to wait for all the water in long piping to drain before hot water starts coming out. A certain recirculating loop involves 40-m-long, 1.2-cm-diameter cast iron pipes with six 90° threaded smooth bends and two fully open gate valves. If the average flow velocity through the loop is 2 m/s, determine the required power input for the recirculating pump. Take the average water temperature to be 60°C and the efficiency of the pump to be 70 percent.arrow_forward
