91Ó°ÊÓ

Water is pumped steadily out of a flooded basement at a speed of 5.0msthrough a uniform hose of radius 1.0cm. The hose passes out through a window 3.0m above the waterline. What is the power of the pump?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The power of the pump is 65.8W.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

  • Speed of water through the hose is v=5.0ms.

  • Radius of the hose is r=0.1cm=0.01m.

  • The height of the window above waterline is h=3.0m.

02

Determining the concept

Use the work-energy theorem, equation of power relating to work and time, and the mass flow rate of water to find the power of the pump. According to the work-energy theorem, the work done by the sum of all forces acting on a particle equals the change in the kinetic energy of the particle.

Formulae are as follows:

Δ°Â=Δ°­+Δ±«

Δ°­=12mv2

Δ±«=mgh

P=Δ°ÂΔ³Ù

Δ³¾Î”³Ù−ÒÏ´¡±¹

Where the is mass, is velocity, is area, is time, is density, is the kinetic energy, is the potential energy, is the work done, is an acceleration due to gravity, is height, and is the power.

03

Determining the power of the pump

From the work-energy theorem,

Δ°Â=Δ°­+Δ±«

And, the equation of power is,

P=Δ°ÂΔ³Ù

=Δ°­+Δ±«Î”³Ù

=Δ³¾Î”³Ùgh+12v2

Now, the rate of mass flow of fluid is given by,

Δ³¾Î”³Ù−ÒÏ´¡±¹

So, the equation of power will become,

ghv+122

=1000×π×(0.01m)2×(5m/s)9.8m/s2×3.0m+12(5.0m/s)2

=65.8W

Hence, power of the pump is, 65.8W.

What would be the height of the atmosphere if the air density (a) were uniform and (b) What would be the height of the atmosphere if the air density were decreased linearly to zero with height? Assume that at sea level the air pressure is1.0atmand the air density is 1.3kg/m3.

A venturi meter is used to measure the flow speed of a fluid in a pipe. The meter is connected between two sections of the pipe (Figure); the cross-sectional area Aof the entrance and exit of the meter matches the pipe's cross-sectional area. Between the entrance and exit, the fluid flows from the pipe with speed Vand then through a narrow "throat" of cross-sectional area a with speed v. A manometer connects the wider portion of the meter to the narrower portion. The change in the fluid's speed is accompanied by a change Δpin the fluid's pressure, which causes a height difference hof the liquid in the two arms of the manometer. (Here Δpmeans pressure in the throat minus pressure in the pipe.) (a) By applying Bernoulli's equation and the equation of continuity to points 1 and 2 in Figure, show that V=2a2∧pÒÏ(a2-A2), where ÒÏis the density of the fluid.

(b) Suppose that the fluid is fresh water, that the cross-sectional areas are 64cm2in the pipe and 32cm2in the throat, and that the pressure is 55kPain the pipe and 41kPain the throat. What is the rate of water flow in cubic meters per second?


What is the minimum area (in square meters) of the top surface of an ice slab 0.441m.thick floating on fresh water that will hold up to 938kgautomobile? Take the densities of ice and fresh water to beÒÏi=917kg/m3 and 998kg/m3, respectively.

Three liquids that will not mix are poured into a cylindrical container. The volumes and densities of the liquids are0.50L, 2.6 g/cm3; 0.25 L, 1.0 g/cm3; and0.40 L, 0.80 g/cm3 . What is the force on the bottom of the container due to these liquids? One liter , 1L=1000 cm3. (Ignore the contribution due to the atmosphere.)

Models of torpedoes are sometimes tested in a horizontal pipe of flowing water, much as a wind tunnel is used to test model airplanes. Consider a circular pipe of internal diameter 25.0cmand a torpedo model aligned along the long axis of the pipe. The model has a 5.00cmdiameter and is to be tested with water flowing past it at 2.50ms.

(a) With what speed must the water flow in the part of the pipe that is unconstricted by the model?

(b) What will the pressure difference be between the constricted and unconstricted parts of the pipe?
