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?

Short Answer

Expert verified
The flow speed in the narrow section of the pipe is approximately \(2.8 m/s\).

Step by step solution

01

Calculate the cross-sectional area of the wider section

We can use the formula for the area of a circle \(A = \pi r^2\) to calculate the cross-sectional area \(A_1\) of the wider section of the pipe. The radius is half of the diameter. The diameter of the wider section is 2.5 cm, so the radius is 1.25 cm, or 0.0125 m. Therefore, the cross-sectional area \(A_1\) is \(\pi (0.0125 m)^2\).
02

Calculate the cross-sectional area of the narrower section

Similarly, we use the formula for the area of a circle to calculate the cross-sectional area \(A_2\) of the narrower section. The diameter of the narrower section is 2.0 cm, so the radius is 1.0 cm, or 0.01 m. Therefore, the cross-sectional area \(A_2\) is \(\pi (0.01 m)^2\).
03

Use the equation of continuity to solve for \(V_2\)

We know that \(A_1V_1 = A_2V_2\). Plug in the known values: \(\pi (0.0125 m)^2 * 1.8 m/s = \pi (0.01 m)^2 * V_2\). Therefore, \(V_2 = \frac{(0.0125 m)^2 * 1.8 m/s}{(0.01 m)^2}\)

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?

Why do airplanes take off into the wind?

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?
