To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the continuity of fluids in a pipeline and apply Bernoulli's balance on the given speeds.

Our values are given as

d_1 = 2.5cm \rightarrow r_1=1.25cm=1.25*10^{-2}m

d_2 = 1.2cm \rightarrow r_2 = 0.6cm = 0.6*10^{-2}m

From the continuity equations in pipes we have to

A_1V_1 = A_2 V_2

Where,

A_{1,2} = Cross sectional Area at each section

V_{1,2} = Flow Velocity at each section

Then replacing we have,

(\pi r_1^2) v_1 = (\pi r_2^2) v_2

(1.25*10^{-2})^2 v_1 = ( 0.06*10^{-2})^2 v_2

v_2 = \frac{(1.25*10^{-2})^2 }{0.6*10^{-2})^2} v_1

From Bernoulli equation we have that the change in the pressure is

\Delta P = \frac{1}{2} \rho (v_2^2-v_1^2)

7.3*10^3 = \frac{1}{2} (1000)([ \frac{(1.25*10^{-2})^2 }{0.6*10^{-2})^2} v_1 ]^2-v_1^2)

7300= 8919.01 v_1^2

v_1 = 0.9m/s

Therefore the speed of flow in the first tube is 0.9m/s

A man walks along a straight path at a speed of 4 ft/s. A searchlight is located on the ground 6 ft from the path and is kept fo
BARSIC [14]

We are given that,

\frac{dx}{dt} = 4ft/s

We need to find \frac{d\theta}{dt} when x=8ft

The equation that relates x and \theta can be written as,

\frac{x}{6} tan\theta

x = 6tan\theta

Differentiating each side with respect to t, we get,

\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{dx}{d\theta} \cdot \frac{d\theta}{dt}

\frac{dx}{dt} = (6sec^2\theta)\cdot \frac{d\theta}{dt}

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{1}{6sec^2\theta} \cdot \frac{dx}{dt}

Replacing the value of the velocity

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{1}{6} cos^2\theta (4)^2

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{8}{3} cos^2\theta

The value of cos \theta could be found if we know the length of the beam. With this value the equation can be approximated to the relationship between the sides of the triangle that is being formed in order to obtain the numerical value. If this relation is known for the value of x = 6ft, the mathematical relation is obtained. I will add a numerical example (although the answer would end in the previous point) If the length of the beam was 10, then we would have to

cos\theta = \frac{6}{10}

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{8}{3} (\frac{6}{10})^2

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{24}{25}

Search light is rotating at a rate of 0.96rad/s

A passenger on your boat falls overboard. what should you do first?
yarga [219]
The very first thing that you should do when a passenger on your boat falls overboard is to throw a PFD or also known as a Personal Flotation Device. This would include anything that can help the passenger to float. But this step would differ, only if the passenger is not wearing a lifevest.

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

vpg = 0.064 N

Explanation:

Upthrust = Volume of fluid displaced

upthrust liquid on the cube g=10ms−2

vpg =0.2 x 0.2 x 0.2 x0.8 x 10= 0.064N

vpg = 0.064 N

hope it helps.
