A large aquarium of height 5.00 mis filled with fresh water to a depth of 2.00 m. One wall of the aquarium consists of thick plastic 8.00 mwide.

By how much does the total force on that wall increase if the aquarium is next filled to a depth of 4.00 m?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The increase in the total force on the wall, if the aquarium is filled to a depth of 2.00m, is4.69×105N

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. Height of aquarium, H=5.00m
  2. Depth of aquarium, h=2.0m
  3. Thickness of the plastic, w=8.00m
02

Understanding the concept of force and pressure

Using the formula of pressure in terms of force per unit area and the formula for pressure in terms of density, gravitational acceleration, and depth, we can find the increase in the total force on the wall.

Formulae:

Force applied on a body in terms of pressure, F = pA (i)

Pressure applied on a fluid surface, p =ÒÏgh (ii)

03

Calculation of the increased force

Differentiating equation (i) with respect to area A, we get

dF = pdA

∫dF=∫pdA∵Togetforceinthatgivenarea,integratingbothsidesF=∫pdA...................(1)

The force at depth, h=2.0cm,as

dA=w×dh,P=ÒÏgh,

Substituting the above values in the equation (1), we get

F=∫ÒÏdhw×dh=ÒÏgw∫hdh=ÒÏgwh22=1000kgm39.8ms28222=1.5×105N..............2

Similarly, the force at depth h=4.0cm,

localid="1657253614722" F'=ÒÏgwh22F'1000kgm39.8ms28422=6.272×105N....................3

Therefore, the total force using equations (2) and (3) can be given as:

∆F=F'-F=6.272×105N-1.5×105N=4.69×105N

Therefore, the increase in the total force on the wall, if the aquarium is filled to a depth of2.00m, is4.69×105N

A pitot tube (Figure) is used to determine the airspeed of an airplane. It consists of an outer tube with a number of small holes B (four are shown) that allow air into the tube; that tube is connected to one arm of a U-tube. The other arm of the U-tube is connected to hole Aat the front end of the device, which points in the direction the plane is headed. At Athe air becomes stagnant so that vA=0. At B, however, the speed of the air presumably equals the airspeed vof the plane.

(a) Use Bernoulli’s equation to show that, v=pÁåžghÒÏairwhere ÒÏis the density of the liquid in the U-tube and his the difference in the liquid levels in that tube.

(b) Suppose that the tube contains alcohol and the level difference his 26.0cm. What is the plane’s speed relative to the air? The density of the air is 1.03kg/m3and that of alcohol is 810kg/m3.

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?

A garden hose with an internal diameter of 1.9cmis connected to a (stationary) lawn sprinkler that consists merely of a container with24holes, each 0.13cmin diameter. If the water in the hose has a speed of 0.9ms, at what speed does it leave the sprinkler holes?

Crew members attempt to escape from a damaged submarine 100 mbelow the surface. What force must be applied to a pop-out hatch, which is 1.2 mby, 0.60 mto push it out at that depth? Assume that the density of the ocean water is 1024 kg /m3and the internal air pressure is at.

A small solid ball is released from rest while fully submerged in a liquid and then its kinetic energy is measured when it has moved 4.0cmin the liquid. Figure 14-40 gives the results after many liquids are used: The kinetic energy is plotted versus the liquid density, and sets the scale on the vertical axis. (a)What is the density?(b) What is the volume of the ball?
