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.

You have probably noticed that the lower the tire pressure, the larger the contact area between the tire and the road. Why?

A car is stopped at a traffic light. It then travels along a straight road such that its distance from the light is given byxt=bt2-ct3, whereb=2.40m/s2andc=0.120m/s3. (a) Calculate the average velocity of the car for the time interval t = 0 to t = 10.0 s. (b) Calculate the instantaneous velocity of the car at t = 0, t = 5.0 s, and t = 10.0 s. (c) How long after starting from rest is the car again at rest?

A jet fighter pilot wishes to accelerate from rest at a constant acceleration of to reach Mach 3 (three times the speed of sound) as quickly as possible. Experimental tests reveal that he will black out if this acceleration lasts for more than5.0s. Use331m/sfor the speed of sound. (a) Will the period of acceleration last long enough to cause him to black out? (b) What is the greatest speed he can reach with an acceleration ofbefore he blacks out?
