Answer:
the rate of flow = 29.28 ×10⁻³ m³/s or 0.029 m³/s
Explanation:
Given:
Diameter of the pipe = 100mm = 0.1m
Contraction ratio = 0.5
thus, diameter at the throat of venturimeter = 0.5×0.1m = 0.05m
The formula for discharge through a venturimeter is given as:
![Q=C_d\frac{A_1A_2}{\sqrt{A_1^2-A_2^2}}\sqrt{2gh}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Q%3DC_d%5Cfrac%7BA_1A_2%7D%7B%5Csqrt%7BA_1%5E2-A_2%5E2%7D%7D%5Csqrt%7B2gh%7D)
Where,
is the coefficient of discharge = 0.97 (given)
A₁ = Area of the pipe
A₁ = ![\frac{\pi}{4}0.1^2 = 7.85\times 10^{-3}m^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5Cpi%7D%7B4%7D0.1%5E2%20%3D%207.85%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-3%7Dm%5E2)
A₂ = Area at the throat
A₂ = ![\frac{\pi}{4}0.05^2 = 1.96\times 10^{-3}m^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5Cpi%7D%7B4%7D0.05%5E2%20%3D%201.96%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-3%7Dm%5E2)
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²
Now,
The gauge pressure at throat = Absolute pressure - The atmospheric pressure
⇒The gauge pressure at throat = 2 - 10.3 = -8.3 m (Atmosphric pressure = 10.3 m of water)
Thus, the pressure difference at the throat and the pipe = 3- (-8.3) = 11.3m
Substituting the values in the discharge formula we get
or
![Q=\frac{0.97\times15.42\times 10^{-6}\times 14.88}{7.605\times 10^{-3}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Q%3D%5Cfrac%7B0.97%5Ctimes15.42%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-6%7D%5Ctimes%2014.88%7D%7B7.605%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-3%7D%7D)
or
Q = 29.28 ×10⁻³ m³/s
Hence, the rate of flow = 29.28 ×10⁻³ m³/s or 0.029 m³/s
Answer:
0.025 m
Explanation:
From the question,
Applying Hook's law
F = ke................... Equation 1
Where F = Force, k = spring constant of the scale, e = maximum distance at which the spring will compress.
make e the subject of the equation
e = F/k....................... Equation 2
Given: F = 10 N, e = 395 N/m
Substitute these values into equation 2
e = 10/395
e = 0.025 m
Answer:
0.43 s
Explanation:
We have the following parameters:
Initial velocity, u = 7.4 m/s
Acceleration of gravity, g = 9.8 ![m/s^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=m%2Fs%5E2)
Distance, s = 43 in + 10 ft = 1.092 m + 3.048 m = 4.14 m
Time, t = ?
Using the equation of motion
, we have
![4.14 = 7.4t + 0.5\times9.8t^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4.14%20%3D%207.4t%20%2B%200.5%5Ctimes9.8t%5E2)
![4.9t^2 + 7.4t - 4.14 =0](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4.9t%5E2%20%2B%207.4t%20-%204.14%20%3D0)
Using the quadratic formula
where a = 4.9, b = 7.4 and c = - 4.14, and solving for the positive value of t only, we have
s
Answer: the answer should be 6,720 decameters.
