Water flows smoothly in a horizontal pipe. Figure 14-27 shows the kinetic energy Kof a water element as it moves along an xaxis that runs along the pipe. Rank the three lettered sections of the pipe according to the pipe radius, greatest first.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The rank of the lettered sections of the pipe according to the pipe radius, greatest first isB>C>A .

Step by step solution

01

The given data 

Rank of KE:KEA>KEC>KEB

02

Understanding the concept of the kinetic energy

This problem is based on the continuity equation. Kinetic energy can be written in the form of the area by using a continuity equation. Thus, using this relation, we can get the required rank value.

Formulae:

The rate of flow of the fluid in terms of area and speed,Rv=Av (i)

The kinetic energy of a body in motion,KE=12mv2 (ii)

The mass of a body in terms of density,m=ÒÏV (iii)

03

Calculation of the rank of the sections of the pipe according to the radius of the pipe

Substituting the value of mass from equation (iii) and velocity from equation (i) in equation (ii), we can get the kinetic energy equation as follows:

KE=12pV×RvA2=ÒÏVRv22Ï€2×1r4...............b∵A=Ï€°ù2

This equation shows that KE is inversely proportional to4th power of the radius of the pipe. Thus, KE is minimum when radius will be maximum.

Therefore, rank of sections according to radius, greatest first isB>C>A .

A cylindrical tank with a large diameter is filled with water to a depth D=0.30m. A hole of cross-sectional area A=6.5cm2in the bottom of the tank allows water to drain out.

(a) What is the rate at which water flows out, in cubic meters per second?

(b) At what distance below the bottom of the tank is the cross-sectional area of the stream equal to one-half the area of the hole?

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?

Flotation device is in the shape of a right cylinder, with a height of 0.500mand a face area of 4.00m2on top and bottom, and its density is localid="1657554653816" 0.400 times that of fresh water. It is initially held fully submerged in fresh water, with its top face at the water surface. Then it is allowed to ascend gradually until it begins to float. How much work does the buoyant force do on the device during the ascent?

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?

Three children, each of weight 356N, make a log raft by lashing together logs of diameter 0.30mand length 1.80m. How many logs will be needed to keep them afloat in fresh water? Take the density of the logs to be 800kgm3.
