Chapter 15: Problem 33
Water flows through a 2.5 -cm-diameter pipe at \(1.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\). If the pipe narrows to 2.0 -cm diameter, what's the flow speed in the constriction?

A 1.0 -cm-diameter venturi flowmeter is inserted in a \(2.0-\mathrm{cm}-\) diameter pipe carrying water (density \(1000 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\) ). Find (a) the flow speed in the pipe and (b) the volume flow rate if the pressure difference between venturi and unconstricted pipe is \(17 \mathrm{kPa}\)
A solid sphere of radius \(R\) and mass \(M\) has density \(\rho\) that varies with distance \(r\) from the center: \(\rho=\rho_{0} e^{-r / R} .\) Find an expression for the central density \(\rho_{0}\) in terms of \(M\) and \(R\)
You're a private investigator assisting a large food manufacturer in tracking down counterfeit salad dressing. The genuine dressing is by volume one part vinegar (density \(1.0 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}\) ) to three parts olive oil (density \(0.92 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}\) ). The counterfeit dressing is diluted with water (density \(1.0 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}\) ). You measure the density of a dressing sample and find it to be \(0.97 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3} .\) Has the dressing been altered?

Density and pressure in Earth's atmosphere are proportional: \(\rho=p / h_{0} g,\) where \(h_{0}=8.2 \mathrm{~km}\) is a constant called the scale height and \(g\) is the gravitational acceleration. (a) Integrate Equation 15.2 for this case to show that atmospheric pressure as a function of height \(h\) above the surface is given by \(p=p_{0} e^{-h / h_{0}}\), where \(p_{0}\) is the surface pressure. (b) At what height will the pressure have dropped to half its surface value?
