A water discharge of 9 m3/s is to flow through this horizontal pipe, which is 0.98 m in diameter. If the head loss is given as 1

Mashutka [201]

Answer: The power required by the pump to produce a discharge of 9m³/s is 5990joules/secs.

Explanation: The given parameters from the questions are:

Flow rate Q = 9m³/s, Diameter D = 0.98m, acceleration a = 1.0, head loss(Pressure P) is given by the function 10v²/2g.

STEP 1. Find the velocity of water in the pipe from the equation:

Diameter D = (√4.Q/π.v), where v is the velocity, and Q is flow rate

Making v subject of the formula gives:

v = 4Q/π.√D =[ 4 × 9m³/s / 3.142 × (√0.98m)] = 11.69m/s.

STEP 2. Find the pressure from the relationship, P = 10v²/2g, NB. g = a

P = 10 × (11.69m/s)² / 2× 1.0m/s²

P = 683.25N/m² or Pascal.

STEP 3. Find force exerted by the pump;

Recall that Pressure P = Force/Area

But Area A = π.r², where r = D/2

Therefore, A = π.(D/2)²

A = 3.142 × [0.98m/2]² = 0.75m²

Therefore, Force = Pressure × Area

Force F = 683.25N/m² × 0.75m²

F = 512.44N.

STEP 4. Find work done

Work done W by the pump is = Force × distance d moved by the water

W = F . d

Also recall that flow rate Q = Velocity/time.

Q = v/t, we can write t = v/Q.

Time t = 11.69m/s / 9m³/s = 1.298s

Also recall that velocity v = distance d/time t, v = d/t, making d subject of formula gives v × t

Distance d = v × t = 11.69m/s × 1.298s = 15.17m.

Hence,

Work Done W = Force × distance

W = 512.44N × 15.17m = 7775.56Nm or joules.

Lastly, Power P = Work done/ time

P = 7775.56joules/1.298s

P = 5990.4joules/s.

When a warm air mass collides with a cold air mass, the warm air mass rises above the cold air mass leading too:

nikdorinn [45]

Answer: It leads to a front. A front is.., I don't know how to explain it, so I'll add a picture. Fronts are made out of clouds and usually bring rain. So the answer is C: The formation of clouds and rain.

Describe what happens when you jump from a small boat onto a dock from the perspective of the 3rd Law.

IgorLugansk [536]

according to newton's third law, every action has equal and opposite reaction. in this scenario of making a jump from the boat onto a dock, as i jump my feet in contact with the boat push the boat in backward direction. hence the action force is the push by my feet on the boat. the boat reacts by applying a reaction force on my feet pushing the feet in forward direction. hence reaction force here is the force by the boat on the feet. due to the reaction force of the boat on feet, i am pushed in forward direction to reach the the dock.
