Need help with the following question.Three students are holding 3 water systems with identical water hoses andnozzles. Student A is holding the hose straight so that the water leaves thenozzle in the same direction it comes, student B is holding the hose 45°upwards from horizontal line while student C holds it backward so that thewater makes a U-turn before being discharged. Discuss the reaction forceexperienced by each student.
4. Consider two tanks A and B, each holding 200 litres of water. A pipe pumps brine from
tank A to tank B at a rate of 20 litres per minute. At the same time another pipe pumps
brine from tank B to tank A at rate 5 litres per minute.
In addition, tank A has pure water pumped into it at a rate 5 litres per minute and tank
B has brine pumped out from it at rate 15 litres per minute.
At time t = 0, ro kg and y, kg of salt is dissolved into tank A, and tank B, respectively.
(a) Write down the system of differential equations satisfied by r(t) and y(t), the quan-
tity of salt in tank A and B, respectively. (Hint: Draw a picture would help !)
(b) Find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the resulting matrix from.
(c) Draw the phase portrait in the (x, y) coordinate for this system.
(d) Describe the amount of salt in each tank when the time approaches infinity.
3. A water hose on the ground discharges water at a velocity 20 m/sec at an angle of 35 degrees with the
horizontal. Will the water go beyond a wall that is 1.5 meters high and is 15 meters away from the hose? By how
much will it go beyond or will it be short from the wall?

The vehicle scoops off 10 cm of water.arrow_forwardFor a pumper truck pumping water to a fire, the back pressure is the additional pressure on the pump caused by the height of the nozzle. (Another way of thinking of back pressure is as the minimum pressure the pumper must produce in order to make water flow out the end of the nozzle.)

If each floor is 16 feet high, what is the head of water at the mouth of the nozzle?arrow_forward3. An air hockey puck is moving to the right along a horizontal air table (so friction is completely negligible). You apply a (not necessarily constant) force to the left that stops the puck and eventually turns the puck around. See the figure below. At the final time, the puck is now traveling to the left but with a speed less than the initial speed. If the puck is your system, is the work done by your force, positive, negative, or zero.

Consider the shown configuration where water Pump from a large, open reservoir flows through the pipe Water and discharges to atmosphere.

However, when the pump is running, the force in the spring becomes 3000 N. The diameter of the pipe is 0.1 m.
