Underground water is being pumped into a pool whose cross section is 3 m x 4 m while water is discharged through a 0.076m-diamet

er orifice at a constant average velocity of 6.3 m/s. if the water level in the pool rises at a rate of 1.5 cm/min, determine the rate at which water is supplied to the pool, in m3/s.

Given:

Area of pool = 3m×4m
Diameter of orifice = 0.076m
Outlet Velocity = 6.3m/s
Accumulation velocity = 1.5cm/min

Required:

Inlet flowrate

Solution:

The problem can be solved by this general formula.

Accumulation = Inlet flowrate - Outlet flowrate
Accumulation velocity × Area of pool = Inlet flowrate - Outlet velocity × Area of orifice

First, we need to convert the units of the accumulation velocity into m/s to be consistent.

Accumulation velocity = 1.5cm/min × (1min/60s)×(1m/100cm)
Accumulation velocity = 0.00025 m/s

We then calculate the area of the pool and the area of the orifice by:

Area of pool = 3 × 4 m²
Area of pool = 12m²

Area of orifice = πd²/4 = π(0.076m)²/4
Area of orifice = 0.00454m²

Since we have all we need, we plug in the values to the general equation earlier

Accumulation velocity × Area of pool = Inlet flowrate - Outlet velocity × Area of orifice

0.00025 m/s × 12m² = Inlet flowrate - 6.3m/s × 0.00454m²

Transposing terms,

Inlet flowrate = 0.316 m³/s

When the temperature of the air is 25 degress C, the velocity of a sound wave traveling through the air is approximately
dusya [7]
Assuming an ideal gas, the speed of sound depends on temperature 
only.   Air is almost an ideal gas. 

Assuming the temperature of 25°C in a "standard atmosphere", the 
density of air is 1.1644 kg/m3, and the speed of sound is 346.13 m/s. 

The velocity can't be specified, since the question gives no information 
regarding the direction of the sound.

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

51.96 m/s^-1

Explanation:

a) see the attachment

b) As we know the velocity of the projectile has two component, horizontal velocity v_ox. and vertical velocity v_oy as shown in the figure. At the highest point of the trajectory, the projectile has only horizontal velocity and vertical velocity is zero. Therefore at the highest point of the trajectory, the velocity of the projectile will be  

v_ox=v_o*cosФ

       =60*cos (30)

      = 51.96 m/s^-1

1. What is wave motion
nadya68 [22]
A wave is basically propagation of disturbances—that is, deviations from a state of rest or equilibrium—from place to place in a regular and organized way. Most familiar are surface waves on water, but both sound and light travel as wavelike disturbances, and the motion of all subatomic particles exhibits wavelike properties.

9. Which of the following characteristics of water is most responsible for the sinking of the Titanic? A. Water is liquid at roo
lozanna [386]

Answer:

D. Frozen water is less dense than liquid water.

Explanation:

Titanic sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the year 1912. There were more than 2000 passengers on board from which about 1500 died.

Frozen water that is ice has less density than liquid water. The density of ice is 0.9167 g/cm^3 and the density of the water is 0.9998 g/cm^3.

Due to this very slight difference in density, ice floats on water. Titanic, on the night of April 14, 1912, crashed into an iceberg around midnight which caused opening of 5 of its watertight compartments. The water filled into the ship and it eventually sank in.
