A fire hose exerts a force on the person holding it. This is because the water accelerates as it goes from the hose through the nozzle. How much force is required to hold a \({\bf{7}}{\bf{.0}}\;{\bf{cm}}\)-diameter hose delivering \({\bf{420}}\;{\bf{L/min}}\)through a \({\bf{0}}{\bf{.75}}\;{\bf{cm}}\)-diameter nozzle?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The force required to hold the hose is \(1100\;{\rm{N}}\).

Step by step solution

01

Understanding Newton’s law and equation of continuity

Newton’s law states that the net force applied to an object depends upon the mass and acceleration of the object. The product of the area of pipe and velocity of flow of liquid for each point of a pipe is always constant as stated by the equation of continuity.

02

Given Data

The diameter of hose is\(D = 7.0\;{\rm{cm}}\).

The volume of water delivered by hose in one minute is\(V = 420\;{\rm{L}}\).

The diameter of nozzle is \(d = 0.75\;{\rm{cm}}\).

03

Obtaining the expression of force

The expression for the equation of continuity,

\(\begin{array}{c}{A_1}{v_1} = {A_2}{v_2}\\{v_2} = \frac{{{A_1}{v_1}}}{{{A_2}}}\end{array}\)

Here, \({v_1}\) is the velocity at the entrance and \({v_2}\) is the velocity at the exit, \({A_1}\) is the area of hose and \({A_2}\) is the area of nozzle.

The expression for the mass of object can be given as,

\(m = \rho V\)

According to Newton’s law,

\(F = m\frac{{{v_2} - {v_1}}}{t}\)

Substitute the values in the above equation,

\(\begin{array}{c}F = \rho V\left( {\frac{{\frac{{{A_1}{v_1}}}{{{A_2}}} - \frac{{{A_2}{v_2}}}{{{A_1}}}}}{t}} \right)\\ = \frac{{\rho V}}{t}\left( {\frac{{{A_1}{v_1}}}{{{A_2}}} - \frac{{{A_2}{v_2}}}{{{A_1}}}} \right)\end{array}\)…….. (i)

Now, according to equation of continuity,

\({A_1}{v_1} = {A_2}{v_2} = \frac{V}{t}\)

Substitute the values in the equation (i),

\(\begin{array}{c}F = \frac{{\rho V}}{t}\left( {{A_1}{v_1}} \right)\left( {\frac{1}{{{A_2}}} - \frac{1}{{{A_1}}}} \right)\\ = \frac{{\rho V}}{t}\left( {\frac{V}{t}} \right)\left( {\frac{1}{{{A_2}}} - \frac{1}{{{A_1}}}} \right)\\ = \rho {\left( {\frac{V}{t}} \right)^2}\left( {\frac{1}{{{A_2}}} - \frac{1}{{{A_1}}}} \right)\end{array}\)……. (ii)

04

Calculating the value of force

The area of hose can be given as,

\({A_1} = \pi {\left( {\frac{D}{2}} \right)^2}\)

The area of nozzle can be given as,

\({A_2} = \pi {\left( {\frac{d}{2}} \right)^2}\)

Substitute the values in the equation (ii),

\(\begin{array}{c}F = \rho {\left( {\frac{V}{t}} \right)^2}\left( {\frac{1}{{\pi {{\left( {\frac{d}{2}} \right)}^2}}} - \frac{1}{{\pi {{\left( {\frac{D}{2}} \right)}^2}}}} \right)\\ = \rho {\left( {\frac{V}{t}} \right)^2}\left( {\frac{4}{{\pi {d^2}}} - \frac{4}{{\pi {D^2}}}} \right)\\ = 4\rho {\left( {\frac{V}{t}} \right)^2}\left( {\frac{1}{{\pi {d^2}}} - \frac{1}{{\pi {D^2}}}} \right)\end{array}\)

Substitute the values in the above equation,\(\begin{array}{c}F = 4\left( {1000\;{\rm{kg/}}{{\rm{m}}^3}} \right){\left( {\frac{{\left( {420\;{\rm{L}}} \right)\left( {\frac{{{{10}^{ - 3}}\;{{\rm{m}}^3}}}{{1\;{\rm{L}}}}} \right)}}{{\left( {1\;\min } \right)\left( {\frac{{60\;{\rm{s}}}}{{1\;\min }}} \right)}}} \right)^2}\left( {\frac{1}{{\left( {3.14} \right){{\left( {0.75\;{\rm{cm}}} \right)}^2}{{\left( {\frac{{1\;{\rm{m}}}}{{100\;{\rm{cm}}}}} \right)}^2}}} - \frac{1}{{\left( {3.14} \right){{\left( {7.0\;{\rm{cm}}} \right)}^2}{{\left( {\frac{{{\rm{1}}\;{\rm{m}}}}{{{\rm{100}}\;{\rm{cm}}}}} \right)}^2}}}} \right)\\ = \left( {0.196\;{\rm{kg}} \cdot {{\rm{m}}^{\rm{3}}}{\rm{/}}{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}} \right)\left( {5661.7\;{{\rm{m}}^{ - 2}} - 65\;{{\rm{m}}^{ - 2}}} \right)\\ = \left( {0.196\;{\rm{kg}} \cdot {{\rm{m}}^{\rm{3}}}{\rm{/}}{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}} \right)\left( {5596.7\;{{\rm{m}}^{ - 2}}} \right)\left( {\frac{{{\rm{1}}\;{\rm{N}}}}{{{\rm{1}}\;{\rm{kg}} \cdot {\rm{m/}}{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}}}} \right)\\ \approx 1100\;{\rm{N}}\end{array}\)

Therefore, the force required to hold the hose is \(1100\;{\rm{N}}\).
