Chapter 3, Problem 3.65P
A 76.0-kg rock is rolling horizontally at the top of a vertical cliff that is 20 m above the surface of a lake (Fig. P3.65). The top of the vertical face of a clam is located 100 m from the foot of the cliff, with the top of the dam level with the surface of the water in the lake. A level plain is 25 m below the top of the darn.
- a) What must be the minimum speed of the rock just as it leaves the cliff so that it will reach the plain without striking the dam?
- b) How far from the foot of the dam does the rock hit the plain?

You are working as an assistant to a landscape architect, who is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.88 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall
h = 3.10 m
high, and from there it will fall into a pool (see the figure below).
(a)
The architect has asked you to determine if the space behind the waterfall will be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway. (Enter the maximum width, in meters, of a walkway behind the waterfall.)
m
(b)
To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. She asks you to design and build the model, with the important question being: how fast (in m/s) should the water flow in the channel in the model?
m/s
A city holding tank for water sits 21.0 above the city. If a house near the holding tank was on fire, to what height would firefighters have to drain the tank so water sprayed from the bottom of the tank hits the top of the house at its center, 10.0 m above the ground and 12.0 m away?
QUESTION 2
Consider the water tank from the previous question. What is the speed (in m/s) of the water as it leaves the bottom of the tank?
QUESTION 3
Assume the tank from the previous questions is sealed airtight with an air gap between the water's surface and the top of the tank. The air pressure in the air gap is 25.0 kPa, while atmospheric pressure outside the tank is 101.4 kPa. Assuming the velocity of the water level in the tank is effectively zero, to what height will firefighters now need to drain the tank so water hits the burning house? (Assume the density of the water is 1000 kg/m3. Report your answer to two decimal places.)
The world's highest fountain of water is located, appropriately enough, in Fountain Hills, Arizona. The fountain rises to a height of 560 ftft (5 feet higher than the Washington Monument).
What is the initial speed of the water?
How long does it take for water to reach the top of the fountain?
