A liquid flowing from a vertical pipe has a definite shape as it flows from the pipe. To get the equation for this shape, assume that the liquid is in free fall once it leaves the pipe. Just as it leaves the pipe, the liquid has speed v0 and the radius of the stream of liquid is r0 . (a) Find an equation for the speed of the liquid as a function of the distance y it has fallen. Combining this with the equation of continuity, find an expression for the radius of the stream as a function of y. (b) If water flows out of a vertical pipe at a speed of 1.2 km/s , how far below the outlet will the radius be one-half the original radius of the stream?

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data can be listed below as,

  • The liquid speed is,v0.
  • The radius of the stream of liquid is, r0.
  • The speed in vertical pipe is, 1.20 m/s .
  • The radius one half of original radius of the stream.
02

Significance of continuity equation

In any steady-state process, the product of the velocity of the fluid and the cross-sectional area of the pipe at any point of the fluid flow is constant.

03

Determination of an equation for the speed of the liquid as a function of the distance y

Part (a)

In the given below figure assume point 1 is the end of the pipe and point 2 is in the stream of liquid at a distance y2beneath the end of pipe.

Consider the free fall of a liquid Take positive to be downward.

The third equation of motion is expressed as,

v22=v12+2ghv22=v12+2gy2v2=v12+2gy2 ...(i)

Here v1 and v2are the speed at point 1 and point 2, g is the gravitational acceleration.

Substitute the initial speed v1=v0 and a distance y2=y.in the equation (ii), so it is expressed as,

v2=v02+2gy

Hence theequation for the speed of the liquid as a function of the distance yis.

v02+2gy

The continuity equation at points 1 and 2 is expressed as,

A1v1=A2v2Ï€r12v1=Ï€r22v

v2=r12r22v1 ...(ii)

Here r1and r2 are the radius at point 1 and 2.

Substitute the value of initial speed v1=v0, the radius at point 1 r1=r0 and the radius at point 2 r2=r in the equation (ii). So it is expressed as,

r02r2v0=v02+2gyr=r0v0v02+2gy14

Hence, the radius of the stream as a function of y is, r0v0v02+2gy1.

04

Determination of the distance below the outlet of the pipe

Part (b)

Theequation for theradius of the streamas a function of the distance y is, expressed as,

r=r0v0v02+2gy14r4v02+2gy=r04v02y=r0r4−12gv02

The value of r that gives, r=12r0, then r0=2r.

Substitute 2r for r0, 1.20 m/s for v0 , and 9.81m/s2 for g in the above equation.

y=2rr4−12×9.81m/s2×(1.20m/s)2=1.1m

Hence the distance below the outlet is, .

Is a pound of butter on the Earth the same amount as a pound of butter on Mars? What about a kilogram of butter? Explain.

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.

A closed and elevated vertical cylindrical tank with diameter 2.00 m contains water to a depth of 0.800 m. A worker accidently pokes a circular hole with diameter 0.0200 m in the bottom of the tank. As the water drains from the tank, compressed air above the water in the tank maintains a gauge pressure of 5 X 103Pa at the surface of the water. Ignore any effects of viscosity. (a) Just after the hole is made, what is the speed of the water as it emerges from the hole? What is the ratio of this speed to the efflux speed if the top of the tank is open to the air? (b) How much time does it take for all the water to drain from the tank? What is the ratio of this time to the time it takes for the tank to drain if the top of the tank is open to the air?
