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.

Giraffe bending to drink. In a giraffe with its head 2.0m above its heart, and its heart 2.0mabove its feet, the (hydrostatic) gauge pressure in the blood at its heart is250 torr. Assume that the giraffe stands upright and the blood density is 1.06×103kg/m3. (a) In torr (or role="math" localid="1657260976786" mmHg), find the (gauge) blood pressure at the brain (the pressure is enough to perfuse the brain with blood, to keep the giraffe from fainting). (b) torrIn (ormmHg), find the (gauge) blood pressure at the feet (the pressure must be countered by tight-fitting skin acting like a pressure stocking). (c) If the giraffe were to lower its head to drink from a pond without splaying its legs and moving slowly, what would be the increase in the blood pressure in the brain? (Such action would probably be lethal.)

You inflate the front tires on your car to28psi. Later, you measure your blood pressure, obtaining a reading of 120/80 , the readings being in mmHg. In metric countries (which is to say, most of the world), these pressures are customarily reported in kilopascals(kPa). In kilopascals, (a) what is your tire pressure? And (b) what is your blood pressure?

Question: To suck lemonade of density 1000 kg/m3up a straw to a maximum height of 4.0 cm, what minimum gauge pressure (in atmospheres) must you produce in your lungs?

In Figure, an open tube of length L=1.8mand cross-sectional area A= 4.6cm2cmis fixed to the top of a cylindrical barrel of diameterD=1.2mand height H=1.8m. The barrel and tube are filled with water (to the top of the tube).Calculate the ratio of the hydrostatic force on the bottom of the barrel to the gravitational force on the water contained in the barrel. Why is that ratio not equal to 1.0? (You need not consider the atmospheric pressure.)

At a depth of 10.9 km, the Challenger Deep in the Marianas Trench of the Pacific Ocean is the deepest site in any ocean. Yet, in 1960, Donald Walsh and Jacques Piccard reached the Challenger Deep in the bathyscaph Trieste. Assuming that seawater has a uniform density of1024kg/m3, approximate the hydrostatic pressure (in atmospheres) that the Trieste had to withstand. (Even a slight defect in the Trieste structure would have been disastrous.)
