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?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The total force exerted by the water on face A is4.95x106N
  2. The total force exerted by the water on face is5.6×106N

Step by step solution

01

The given data

In the given figure, d=5 m

02

Understanding the concept of pressure

Using theformula of pressure in terms of density, gravitational acceleration, and depth, we can find the pressure. Using the value of pressure in the formula for the pressure in terms of force and unit area,we can find thetotal force exerted by the water on face Aand faceB.

Formulae:

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

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

03

Calculation for the force on face A due to water pressure

As for face A, (in the given figure)h=2d

Hence, the pressure at face A using equation (ii) and the given values, we get

p=ÒÏg(2d)=(1.0x1.03kg/m3)(9.8m/s2)(2×5m)=98×103a

Therefore, using equation (i), the force on face A,

FA=98×103Pa5.02m∵A=d2m2=2.45×106d2N

Now, the atmospheric pressure using equation (i) is given by:

F0=pA=1.0×105Pa5.0m2=2.5×106N

Therefore, the total force on face A is given by:

FA=F0+FA=2.5×106N=4.95×106N

Therefore, the total force exerted by the water on face Ais4.95×106N

04

b) Calculation for the force on face B due to water pressure

As for face B, (in the given figure)

h=2d+d2=5d2

Hence, the pressure at face B using equation (ii) and the given values, we get

p=ÒÏgh5d2=1.0×103kg/m39.8m/s25×5m22122.5×103Pa

Therefore,

FB=122.5×103Pa5.0m2∵A=d2m2=3.1×106N

Now, the atmospheric pressure is,

F0=PA=(1.0×105Pa)5.0m2=2.5×106N

Therefore, total force on face A is given by:

F'B=F0+FB3.1×106N2.5×106N5.6×106N

Therefore, the total force exerted by the water on face Bis5.6×106N.

About one-third of the body of a person floating in the Dead Sea will be above the waterline. Assuming that the human body density0.98g/cm3is find the density of the water in the Dead Sea. (Why is it so much greater than 1.0g/cm3?

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?

Anyone who scuba dives is advised not to fly within the next24hbecause the air mixture for diving can introduce nitrogen to the bloodstream. Without allowing the nitrogen to come out of solution slowly, any sudden air-pressure reduction (such as during airplane ascent) can result in the nitrogen forming bubbles in the blood, creating the bends, which can be painful and even fatal. Military special operation forces are especially at risk. What is the change in pressure on such a special-op soldier who must scuba dive at a depth of 20min seawater one day and parachute at an altitude of 7.6kmthe next day? Assume that the average air density within the altitude range is0.87kg/m3.

(b) If the pipe tapers to 1.2cmand rises to the second floor 7.6mabove the input point, what is the water pressure at the second floor?

Figure 14-21 shows four situations in which a red liquid and a gray liquid are in a U-tube. In one situation the liquids cannot be in static equilibrium. (a) Which situation is that? (b) For the other three situations, assume static equilibrium. For each of them, is the density of the red liquid greater than, less than, or equal to the density of the gray liquid?
