Chapter 14: Problem 35
Water pressure inside a hose nozzle can be less than atmospheric pressure due to the Bernoulli effect. Explain in terms of energy how the water can emerge from the nozzle against the opposing atmospheric pressure.

Water emerges straight down from a faucet with a \(1.80-\mathrm{cm}\) diameter at a speed of \(0.500 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\). (Because of the construction of the faucet, there is no variation in speed across the stream.) (a) What is the flow rate in \(\mathrm{cm}^{3} / \mathrm{s}\) ? (b) What is the diameter of the stream \(0.200 \mathrm{m}\) below the faucet? Neglect any effects due to surface tension.
Every few years, winds in Boulder, Colorado, attain sustained speeds of \(45.0 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) (about \(100 \mathrm{mph}\) ) when the jet stream descends during early spring. Approximatelywhat is the force due to the Bernoulli equation on a roof having an area of \(220 \mathrm{m}^{2}\) ? Typical air density in Boulder is \(1.14 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3},\) and the corresponding atmospheric pressure is \(8.89 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\). (Bernoulli's principle as stated in the text assumes laminar flow. Using the principle here produces only an approximate result, because there is significant turbulence.)
What is the average flow rate in \(\mathrm{cm}^{3} / \mathrm{s}\) of gasoline to the engine of a car traveling at \(100 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}\) if it averages 10.0 \(\mathrm{km} / \mathrm{L} ?\)
Explain how the density of air varies with altitude.
Explain why the fluid reaches equal levels on either side of a manometer if both sides are open to the atmosphere, even if the tubes are of different diameters.
