At the entrance of most beaches, there is a bulletin board with notices about water conditions: maybe a faded sign warning about rip currents and a list of this week's tide tables. Most people pass them by without a second thought, but if you want to enter the ocean, it is important to know its movements, whether to avoid being caught in a riptide or to figure out when the waves will be at their best.
Hope this helps
What is the definition of newton
Answer:
h = 13.06 m
Explanation:
Given:
- Specific gravity of gasoline S.G = 0.739
- Density of water p_w = 997 kg/m^3
- The atmosphere pressure P_o = 101.325 KPa
- The change in height of the liquid is h m
Find:
How high would the level be in a gasoline barometer at normal atmospheric pressure?
Solution:
- When we consider a barometer setup. We dip the open mouth of an inverted test tube into a pool of fluid. Due to the pressure acting on the free surface of the pool, the fluid starts to rise into the test-tube to a height h.
- The relation with the pressure acting on the free surface and the height to which the fluid travels depends on the density of the fluid and gravitational acceleration as follows:
P = S.G*p_w*g*h
Where, h = P / S.G*p_w*g
- Input the values given:
h = 101.325 KPa / 0.739*9.81*997
h = 13.06 m
- Hence, the gasoline will rise up to the height of 13.06 m under normal atmospheric conditions at sea level.
The figure shows the arrangement of system
The velocity of boat can be resolved in to two
Horizontal component = vcos θ = 2.50 cos 45 = 1.768 m/s
Vertical component = vsin θ = 2.50 sin 45 = 1.768 m/s
Due to horizontal component the boat arrive arrives upstream,
Total horizontal velocity = 1.768 - Vr, where Vr is the velocity of river.
Total time taken to cross the river = width of river/ Vertical component of velocity
t = 285/1.768 = 161.20 seconds
So 118 meter is traveled at a velocity of 1.768-Vr in 161.20 seconds
That is 118 = (1.768-Vr)*161.20
1.768 - Vr =0.732
Vr = 1.036 m/s
So velocity of river flow =1.036 m/s
