Concrete is pumped from a cement mixer to the place it is being laid, instead of being carried in wheelbarrows. The flow rate is
200 L/min through a 50.0-m-long, 8.00-cm-diameter hose, and the pressure at the pump is
8.00×106N/m2.
(a) Calculate the resistance of the hose. (b) What is the viscosity of the concrete, assuming the flow is laminar? (c) How much power is being supplied, assuming the point of use is at the same level as the pump? You may neglect the power supplied to increase the concrete's velocity.

Answer:
0.51 m
Explanation:
Using the principle of conservation of energy, change in potential energy equals to the change in kinetic energy of the spring.
Kinetic energy, KE=½kx²
Where k is spring constant and x is the compression of spring
Potential energy, PE=mgh
Where g is acceleration due to gravity, h is height and m is mass
Equating KE=PE
mgh=½kx²
Making x the subject of formula
Substituting 9.81 m/s² for g, 1300 kg for m, 10m for h and 1000000 for k then
