In Figure, the fresh water behind a reservoir dam has depth D=15m. A horizontal pipe 4.0cmin diameter passes through the dam at depth d=6.0m. A plug secures the pipe opening.

(a) Find the magnitude of the frictional force between plug and pipe wall.

(b) The plug is removed. What water volume exits the pipe in 3.0h?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The magnitude of the frictional force between plug and pipe wall is 74N.

(b) The water volume exiting the pipe in 3.0hr, if the plug is removed, is 150m3.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

i) The depth of the reservoir dam, D=15m.

ii) Depth of horizontal pipe, d=6.0m.

iii) Diameter of the horizontal pipe, 4.0cm=0.04m.

iv) t=3hr=10800s.

Determining the concept

By calculating the difference in the pressure (Pd-Pa)at the surface sof the water and at the depth d, find the magnitude of the frictional force between the plug and pipe wall. By applying Bernoulli's equation and calculating the volume rate of flow of water, find how much water volume exits the pipe in 3.0hrif the plug is removed. According to Bernoulli's equation, as the speed of a moving fluid increases, the pressure within the fluid decreases.

Formulae are as follows:

i) The magnitude of the frictional force between plug and pipe wall, f=Pd-PaA

ii) Bernoulli's equation,

PV 12ÒÏg2y+=constant

iii) Rate of flow of water Q,Q-VA

iv) The volume of water that flows out from the pipe in time t is R=Qt

Where, P is pressure, V,V are velocities, y is distance, g is an acceleration due to gravity, h is height, A is the area, R is the rate of flow of water, f is the frictional force, and ÒÏ is density.

(a) Determining the magnitude of the frictional force between plug and pipe wall

The force acting on the plug due to the depth of the water is,

Fd=PdA

The force acting on the plug due to the air pressure on the surface of the water is,

Fθ=PθA

The force of friction acting between plug and pipe wall is,

f=Fd-Fa

=PdA-PαA

=Pσ-PσA

Now,

βghPz=

ÒÏis the density of fresh water ÒÏ=1000kg/m2and h=d.

Pd-Pa=1000kg/m3×9.8m/s2×6m

=58800Pa

Now, the area of the pipe having diameter =0.04mthat passes through the dam is,

A=π×Diameter24

=3.14×(0.04m)24

=0.001256m2

Putting these values in the equation,

f=Pd-PaA

=58800Pa×0.001256m2

=73.853N

≈74N

Hence, the magnitude of the frictional force between plug and pipe wall is role="math" localid="1657634728141" 74N.

(b) Determining the water volume exiting the pipe in 3.0hr if the plug is removed

Applying Bernoulli's equation, the total energy flow for the flow of water just outside the pipe is,

pl412ÒÏg2y+=constant

The total energy flow for the flow of water just inside the pipe is,

ÒÏи 12ÒÏg2y12=constant


The energy flow rate of the water in the pipe is,

βV+12ÒÏg2y+p1=ÒÏV+12ÒÏg2y+=2constant

But the flow of fluid is on the same level as the ground. Thus,

y1=y2

And the speed of the water just outside the pipe is equal to zero. Thus, V=0It gives,

βv=p+122

v=2(P-p)ÒÏ

The pressure difference between the outside and inside of the pipe is equal to the pressure due to depth h=d.

Thus,

PghPθ=(P-p)=

v=2gd

Putting this value,

v=2ÒÏgdÒÏ

=2×9.8m/s2×6m

=10.8444m/s

Now, the volume rate of flow of water from the horizontal pipe is,

Q=AV

=0.001256m2×10.8444m/s

=0.013621m3/s

The volume of water that flows out from the pipe in time t=3hr,

R=Qt

=0.013621m3/s×10800s

=147.1021m3

≈150m3

Hence, the water volume exiting the pipe in 3.0hr, if the plug is removed, is 150m3.

When researchers find a reasonably complete fossil of a dinosaur, they can determine the mass and weight of the living dinosaur with a scale model sculpted from plastic and based on the dimensions of the fossil bones. The scale of the model is 1/20; that is, lengths are 1/20actual length, areas are (1/20)2 actual areas, and volumes are (1/20)3actual volumes. First, the model is suspended from one arm of a balance and weights are added to the other arm until equilibrium is reached. Then the model is fully submerged in water and enough weights are removed from the second arm to re-establish equilibrium (Figure).For a model of a particular T.rexfossil,637.76 ghad to be removed to re-establish equilibrium. (a)What was the volume of the model? (b)What was the volume of the actual T.rex? (c) If the density of T.rexwas approximately the density of water, what was its mass?

In an experiment, a rectangular block with height h is allowed to float in four separate liquids. In the first liquid, which is water, it floats fully submerged. In liquids A, B, and C, it floats with heights h/2,
