Figure shows two sections of an old pipe system that runs through a hill, with distances dA=dB=30mand D=110 m. On each side of the hill, the pipe radius is 2.00 cm. However, the radius of the pipe inside the hill is no longer known. To determine it, hydraulic engineers first establish that water flows through the left and right sections at 2.50 m/s. Then they release a dye in the water at point A and find that it takes 88.8 sto reach point B.

What is the average radius of the pipe within the hill?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The average radius of the pipe within the hill is0.036mor3.6cm

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. The distance of section A and B,da=db=30m
  2. The total distance, D=110 m
  3. The radius of pipe outside hill section is rA=rB=2cmor0.02m
  4. The speed of water through A and B section, v=2.5 m/s
  5. The time required for a dye to reach point B from point A, t=88.8 s
02

Understanding the concept of continuity equation

We can find the speed of water through the hill section from the time required for the water to travel through the hill. Then using the continuity equation, we can find the average radius of the pipe within the hill.

Formulae:

The continuity equation at two ends of a liquid flowing, A1v1=A2v2 (i)

where, A1, v1 and A2,v2 are the cross-sectional area and velocity of two ends 1& 2

Area of circular cross-section, A=蟺谤2 (ii)

03

Calculation of average radius of pipe

We know that the water flows through section A and B with speed 2.5 m/s.

So, the time required for the water to cover those sections is given by:

t=dA+dBv=602.5=24s

So, 88.8-24=64.8 s is the time required for water to travel through the hill.

So, the speed of water through hill section is given by

vh=dh64.8=110-6064.8=0.772m/s

Now, using equation (i), we get

Ah=A1v1vh

As from equation (iii), we knowA=蟺谤2

Hence, substituting the values, we get

rh2=r12v1vh=0.0222.50.772rh=0.0222.50.772=0.036m

Therefore, the radius of the pipe in the hill section is 0.036 m or 3.6 cm.

Calculate the hydrostatic difference in blood pressure between the brain and the foot in a person of height 1.83m. The density of blood is1.0610kg/m3.

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?

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?

A partially evacuated airtight container has a tight-fitting lid of surface area77m2and negligible mass. If the force required removing the lid is 480 N and the atmospheric pressure is1.0105Pa, what is the internal air pressure?

When a pilot takes a tight turn at high speed in a modern fighter airplane, the blood pressure at the brain level decreases, blood no longer perfuse the brain, and the blood in the brain drains. If the heart maintains the (hydrostatic) gauge pressure in the aorta at 120torr(or mmHg) when the pilot undergoes a horizontal centripetal acceleration of4g. What is the blood pressure (intorr) at the brain, localid="1657253735468" 30cmradially inward from the heart? The perfusion in the brain is small enough that the vision switches to black and white and narrows to 鈥渢unnel vision鈥 and the pilot can undergo g-LOC (鈥済-induced loss of consciousness鈥). Blood density is1.06103kg/m3.
