91Ó°ÊÓ

Water stands at a depth H in a large, open tank whose side walls are vertical (Fig. P12.77). A hole is made in one of the walls at a depth h below the water surface. (a) At what distance R from the foot of the wall does the emerging stream strike the floor? (b) How far above the bottom of the tank could a second hole be cut so that the stream emerging from it could have the same range as for the first hole?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Thewater travels a horizontal distance ofR=2hH-h.

(b) The height of the second hole should be H-h.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data can be listed below as,

  • The height of hole is,H-h.
  • The water depth is,H.
  • The depth of hole from top surface is, h.
  • The distance of emerging stream strike the floor is, R.
02

Second equation of motion

The second equation of motion establishes a relation between distance travelled, initial velocity, time taken, and acceleration.

α=ut+12gt2

03

(a) Determination of the water travel at horizontal distance

The water is in free fall, after separation from the tank, the acceleration in x-direction is zero and y-direction is g. Then the speed of efflux is express as,

V=2gh

The initial velocity of water is zero, then time the takenby the water to reach the ground can becalculated as,

d=ut+12gt2H-h=0×t+12gt2t=2H-hg

The distance travelled by water is expressed as,

R=vt

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

R=2gh×2H-hg=hH-h2

Hence the water travels horizontal distance ishH-h2.

04

(b) Determination of the distance of second hole from bottom of the tank

If depth of hole from the top of the surface is h’, then the speed of efflux is express as,

V=2h'

The initial velocity of the water is zero, then time taken by the water to reach the ground will be,

d=ut+12gt2H-h=0×t+12gt2t=2H-hg

The water travels horizontal distance is express as,

R'=vtR'=2gh'×2H-h'gR'=2h'H-h'

Since the range of the water remains same for both the holes, therefore we can write,

R=R'hH-h2=2h'H-h'hH-h=h'H-h'h'=H-h

Thus, the height of the second hole should be H-h.

A Simple Reaction-Time Test.A meter stick is held vertically above your hand, with the lower end between your thumb and first finger. When you see the meter stick released, you grab it with those two fingers. You can calculate your reaction time from the distance the meter stick falls, read directly from the point where your fingers grabbed it. (a) Derive a relationship for your reaction time in terms of this measured distance, d. (b) If the measured distance is 17.6 cm, what is your reaction time?

Three horizontal ropes pull on a large stone stuck in the ground, producing the vector forces A⇶Ä, B⇶Ä, andCâ‡¶Ä shown in Fig. P1.60. Find the magnitude and direction of a fourth force on the stone that will make the vector sum of the four forces zero.

At a certain instant, the earth, the moon, and a stationary 1250-kg spacecraft lie at the vertices of an equilateral triangle whosesides are r1=3.48×105kmin length. (a) Find the magnitude and direction of the net gravitational force exerted on the spacecraft by the earth and moon. State the direction as an angle measured from a line connecting the earth and the spacecraft. In a sketch, show the earth, the moon, the spacecraft, and the force vector. (b) What is the minimum amount of work that you would have to do to move the spacecraft to a point far from the earth and moon? Ignore any gravitational effects due to the other planets or the sun.

You decide to visit Santa Claus at the north pole to put in a good word about your splendid behavior throughout the year. While there, you notice that the elf Sneezy, when hanging from a rope, produces a tension of 395.0 Nin the rope. If Sneezy hangs from a similar rope while delivering presents at the earth’s equator, what will the tension in it be? (Recall that the earth is rotating about an axis through its north and south poles.) Consult Appendix F and start with a free-body diagram of Sneezy at the equator.
