Water flows through a 4.50-cm inside diameter pipe with a speed of 12.5 m/s. At a later position, the pipe has a 6.25-cm inside

diameter. Determine the flow speed (in m/s) at the second point in the pipe. Assume that the water acts as an ideal fluid.

Given,

The initial inside diameter of the pipe, d₁=4.50 cm=0.045 m

The initial speed of the water, v₁=12.5 m/s

The diameter of the pipe at a later position, d₂=6.25 cm=0.065 m

From the continuity equation,

\begin{gathered} A_1v_1=A_2v_2 \\ \pi(\frac{d_1}{2})^2v_1=\pi(\frac{d_2}{2})^2v_2 \\ \Rightarrow d^2_1v_1=d^2_2v_2 \end{gathered}

Where A₁ is the area of the cross-section at the initial position, A₂ is the area of the cross-section of the pipe at a later position, and v₂ is the flow rate of the water at the later position.

On substituting the known values,

\begin{gathered} 0.045^2\times12.5=0.065^2\times v_2 \\ \Rightarrow v_2=\frac{0.045^2\times12.5}{0.065^2} \\ =5.99\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}

Thus, the flow rate of the water at the later position is 5.99 m/s

Calculate the power required of a 60-kg person who climbs a tree 5 meters high in 10 seconds.
Alina [70]

Answer:

Explanation:

Power = Energy/time

-Don't have energy so I'm gonna solve for it

Gravitational Potential Energy = mass x gravity x height

= 60 kg x 9.8 m/s2 x 5m

= 2940 J

Power = Energy/time

=2940 J/10 s

= 294 W

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Is the velocity constant? Is there any friction?

3 meters per second

then after 40 seconds it must 3*40 = 120 meters

120 meters or 0.12 km if you will
