Chapter 10: Q14Q (page 260)

A tall Styrofoam cup is filled with water. Two holes are punched in the cup near the bottom, and water begins rushing out. If the cup is dropped so it falls freely, will the water continue to flow from the holes? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Due to the free fall of both water and the cup, the water will not flow from the holes.

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the free fall in the case of the Styrofoam cup

In the free fall, the gravity effect is considered to be the same. The Styrofoam cup and the water will experience the same acceleration due to gravity when both are falling.

02

Understanding the reason the water continues to flow from the holes or not

The water should have a higher acceleration than the gravity acceleration for the water flow to through the holes.

Because of the free-falling condition, both will fall together with the same velocity. The friction is negligible here.

The pressure drop is the difference between the water pressure on the bottom of the cup and atmospheric pressure. Since the lower molecules of the water did not hold the water molecules above the cup, therefore there will be no pressure difference between the bottom of the cup and the top.

Thus, the water will not continue to flow from the holes.

A viscometer consists of two concentric cylinders, \({\bf{10}}{\bf{.20}}\;{\bf{cm}}\) and \({\bf{10}}{\bf{.60}}\;{\bf{cm}}\)in diameter. A liquid fills the space between them to a depth of \({\bf{12}}{\bf{.0}}\;{\bf{cm}}\). The outer cylinder is fixed, and a torque of \({\bf{0}}{\bf{.024}}\;{\bf{m}} \cdot {\bf{N}}\) keeps the inner cylinder turning at a steady rotational speed of \({\bf{57}}\;{\bf{rev/min}}\). What is the viscosity of the liquid?

You hold a piece of wood in one hand and a piece of iron in the other. Both pieces have the same volume, and you hold them fully under water at the same depth. At the moment you let go of them, which one experiences the greater buoyancy force?

(a) The piece of wood.

(b) The piece of iron.

(c) They experience the same buoyancy force.

(d) More information is needed.

Intravenous transfusions are often made under gravity, as shown in Fig. 10鈥�55. Assuming the fluid has a density of \({\bf{1}}{\bf{.00\;g/c}}{{\bf{m}}^{\bf{3}}}\)at what height h should the bottle be placed so the liquid pressure is (a) 52 mm-Hg, and (b) \({\bf{680\;mm - }}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{O?}}\)(c) If the blood pressure is 75 mm-Hg above atmospheric pressure, how high should the bottle be placed so that the fluid just barely enters the vein?
