A bucket is filled with water to a height of 23cm, then a plug is removed from a 4.0-mm-diameter hole in the bottom of the bucket. As the water begins to pour out of the hole, how fast is it moving?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The speed of water flowing out of the hole is 2.12m/s.

Step by step solution

01

Expression for Bernoulli's equation 

The expression for Bernoulli's equation for a flowing fluid, between two points 1and 2is written as,

p1+12ÒÏv12+ÒÏgy1=p2+12ÒÏv22+ÒÏgy2

Here, p1is the pressure at point role="math" localid="1648179242044" 1,p2is the pressure at point 2,v1is the velocity at point1, v2is the velocity at point 2, is they1position of point 1above the datum, y2is the position of point 2above the datum and ÒÏis the density of the flowing fluid.

02

Continuity equation 

Continuity equation between the above mentioned points is written as,

ÒÏa1v1=ÒÏa2v2

a1v1=a2v2

Here, a1and a2are the cross-sectional areas of the flow at the points 1and 2, respectively.

03

Calculation of speed of water flow

Understand that point 1is the top of the bucket and the point 2is at the hole. The height is measured from the top of the bucket. The pressure at points 1and 2is atmospheric pressure. So,

p1=p2

=patm

Here, localid="1648180078300" patmis atmospheric pressure.

Also,

y1=0cm

y2=-23cm

It is known that area of hole is much smaller to the area of water at the top of the bucket. Hence,

localid="1648180205607" a2<<a1

a2a1<<1.....1

Apply continuity equation between points 1and 2

a1v1=a2v2

a2a1=v1v2.............2

Use equations (1)and (2), to get:

v1v2≪1

v1<<v2

Squaring both sides of the equation.

v12<<<<v22

Hence v1can be neglected.

Substitute patmfor p1andp2, 0cmfor y1and 0m/sfor v1.

patm=+12ÒÏ(0m/s)2+ÒÏg(0cm)=patm+12ÒÏv22+ÒÏgy2

v22=-2gy2

v2=-2gy2

Substitute -23cmfor y2and 9.8m/s2 for g,

v2=-29.8m/s2-23cm1m100cm

v2=2.12m/s

A U-shaped tube, open to the air on both ends, contains mercury. Water is poured into the left arm until the water column is 10.0cmdeep. How far upward from its initial position does the mercury in the right arm rise?

One day when you come into physics lab you find several plastic hemispheres floating like boats in a tank of fresh water. Each lab group is challenged to determine the heaviest rock that can be placed in the bottom of a plastic boat without sinking it. You get one try. Sinking the boat gets you no points, and the maximum number of points goes to the group that can place the heaviest rock without sinking. You begin by measuring one of the hemispheres, finding that it has a mass 21gand a diameter of 8.0cm. What is the mass of the heaviest rock that, in perfectly still water, won't sink the plastic boat?

Glycerin is poured into an open U-shaped tube until the height in both sides is 20cm. Ethyl alcohol is then poured into one arm until the height of the alcohol column is 20cm. The two liquids do not mix. What is the difference in height between the top surface of the glycerin and the top surface of the alcohol?
