The plastic tube in Figure has a cross-sectional area of5.00cm2. The tube is filled with water until the short arm (of lengthd=0.800m) is full. Then the short arm is sealed and more water is gradually poured into the long arm. If the seal will pop off when the force on it exceeds9.80N, what total height of water in the long arm will put the seal on the verge of popping?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The total height of water in long arm is2.8m

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. Density of water p=1000kg/m3
  2. ForceF=9.80N
  3. Cross sectional area,A=5×10-4m2
  4. Length of the short arm,d=0.8m
02

Understanding the concept of hydrostatic pressure

To solve for pressure, we can use the formula for hydrostatic pressure difference, which depends on density and height. Hydrostatic pressure is that, which is exerted by a fluid at any point of time at equilibrium due to the force applied by gravity.

Formula:

Pressure applied on a body, p=pgh

Pressure applied by force F on area A,

p=FA

03

Calculation of the total height of water

Using equations (i) & (ii), we get

pgh=FAh=FpgA=9.81000×9.8×5×10-4=2m

So, the total height of water in long arm can be given as:

lenght of water(h) + lenght of short arm (d)=2+0.8

=2.8m

So, the total height of height is 2.8 m.

A block of wood has a mass of 3.67 kgand a density of 600kg/m3. It is to be loaded with lead ( 1.14×10-4kg/m3) so that it will float in water with 0.900of its volume submerged. (a)What mass of lead is needed if the lead is attached to the top of the wood? (b)What mass of lead is needed if the lead is attached to the bottom of the wood?

A very simplified schematic of the rain drainage system for a home is shown in Figure. Rain falling on the slanted roof runs off into gutters around the roof edge; it then drains through downspouts (only one is shown) into a main drainage pipe Mbelow the basement, which carries the water to an even larger pipe below the street. In Figure, a floor drain in the basement is also connected to drainage pipe M. Suppose the following apply: 1.The downspouts have height h1=11m, 2.the floor drain has heighth2=1.2m,3.pipe Mhas radius 3.0cm,4.the house side is width w=30mand front

length L=60m,5.all the water striking the roof goes through pipe M, 6.the initial speed of the water in a downspout is negligible, 7.the wind speed is negligible (the rain falls vertically). At what rainfall rate, in centimetres per hour, will water from pipe M reach the height of the floor drain and threaten to flood the basement?

Figure 14-22 shows a tank filled with water. Five horizontal floors and ceilings are indicated; all have the same area and are located at distances L, 2L, 3Lorbelow the top of the tank. Rank them according to the force on them due to the water, greatest first.

The L-shaped tank shown in Figure is filled with water and is open at the top. (a) If d=5.0m, what is the force due to the water on face A and (b) If d=5.0m, what is the force due to the water on face B?

Figure 14-25 shows four arrangements of pipes through which water flows smoothly toward the right. The radii of the pipe sections are indicated. In which arrangements is the net work done on a unit volume of water moving from the leftmost section to the rightmost section (a) zero, (b) positive, and (c) negative?
