Thay are on high towers because if it was below how would the water flow. Putting it on high towers gives you an advantage of the gravity with means you got free pressure without having to use a pump.

In a 100 mm diameter horizontal pipe, a venturimeter of 0.5 contraction ratio has been fitted. The head of water on the meter wh

nata0808 [166]

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:

$Q=C_d\frac{A_1A_2}{\sqrt{A_1^2-A_2^2}}\sqrt{2gh}$

Where,

$C_d$ is the coefficient of discharge = 0.97 (given)

A₁ = Area of the pipe

A₁ = $\frac{\pi}{4}0.1^2 = 7.85\times 10^{-3}m^2$

A₂ = Area at the throat

A₂ = $\frac{\pi}{4}0.05^2 = 1.96\times 10^{-3}m^2$

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

$Q=0.97\frac{7.85\times 10^{-3}\times 1.96\times 10^{-3}}{\sqrt{7.85\times 10^{-3}^2-1.96\times 10^{-3}^2}}\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 11.3}$

$Q=\frac{0.97\times15.42\times 10^{-6}\times 14.88}{7.605\times 10^{-3}}$

Q = 29.28 ×10⁻³ m³/s

Hence, the rate of flow = 29.28 ×10⁻³ m³/s or 0.029 m³/s

The distance between the first and fifth minima of a single-slit diffraction pattern is 0.500 mm with the screen 37.0 cm away fr

WARRIOR [948]

In the single-slit experiment, the displacement of the minima of the diffraction pattern on the screen is given by
$y_n= \frac{n \lambda D}{a}$ (1)
where
n is the order of the minimum
y is the displacement of the nth-minimum from the center of the diffraction pattern
$\lambda$ is the light's wavelength
D is the distance of the screen from the slit
a is the width of the slit

In our problem,
$D=37.0 cm=0.37 m$
$\lambda=530 nm=5.3 \cdot 10^{-7} m$
while the distance between the first and the fifth minima is
$y_5-y_1 = 0.500 mm=0.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m$ (2)

If we use the formula to rewrite $y_5, y_1$ , eq.(2) becomes
$\frac{5 \lambda D}{a} - \frac{1 \lambda D}{a} =\frac{4 \lambda D}{a}= 0.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m$
Which we can solve to find a, the width of the slit:
$a= \frac{4 \lambda D}{0.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m}= \frac{4 (5.3 \cdot 10^{-7} m)(0.37 m)}{0.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m}= 1.57 \cdot 10^{-3} m=1.57 mm$
