Chapter 3, Problem 42P
A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P3.42). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (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. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?

A landscape architect is
planning an artificial waterfall
in a city park. Water flowing at
0.750 m/s leaves the end of a
horizontal channel at the top
of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m
high and falls into a pool (Fig.
P3.54). (a) How far from the
wall will the water land? Will
the space behind the waterfall
be wide enough for a pedes-
trian walkway? (b) To sell her
plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model
Figure P3.54
to standard scale, one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the
water flow in the channel in the model?
I need help on this problem:
A pipe discharges storm water into a creek. Water flows horizontally out of the pipe at 1.9m/s, and the end of the pipe is 3.5m above the creek.
How far out from the end of the pipe is the point where the stream of water meets the creek?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
A bridge that was 11.2 m long has been washed out by the rain several days ago. How fast must a car be going to successfully jump the stream? Although the road is level on both sides of the bridge, the road on the far side is 2.1 m lower than the road on this side.

- A firefighter, a distance d from a burning building, directs a stream of water from a fire hose at angle i above the horizontal as shown in Figure P3.16.

The sharp upward slope launches them into the air, where they perform acrobatic maneuvers. In the women's competition, the end of a typical launch ramp is directed 59° above the horizontal. With this launch angle, a skier attains a height of 14 m above the end of the ramp. What is the skier's launch speed?arrow_forward
- A little youngster pulls a toy block up a steep hill before releasing it at the top. He believes the block will fall in his room, but his sister believes he is attempting to fire it into her room across the corridor. Mom isn't going to be pleased if she goes down the hall and steps on the block. Assume the incline's upper end is 1.00 m (horizontally) from the boy's door, and the hallway is 1.00 m wide. Who is correct? This issue, as a whole, does not fit any of the problem types you've learnt; nevertheless, it may be divided into three individual problems. The steps below will walk you through them. There is just one evaluation required. (a) A kid pulls a 0.750 kg wooden block up an incline with an 8.43 N force that is parallel to the slope (rather than horizontal, which is more difficult). The inclination is at an angle, and the kinetic friction coefficient between the block and the incline is 0.178. Determine the acceleration of a block with a 28.0° angle and a length of 0.463 m.
