Water is pumped steadily out of a flooded basement at a speed of 5.4 m/s through a uniform hose of radius 0.83 cm. The hose pass

es out through a window to a street ditch 3.5 m above the waterline. What is the power of the pump?

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the flow as a function of the volume in a certain time, as well as the potential and kinetic energy that act on the pump and the fluid.

The work done would be defined as

\Delta W = \Delta PE + \Delta KE

Where,

PE = Potential Energy

KE = Kinetic Energy

\Delta W = (\Delta m)gh+\frac{1}{2}(\Delta m)v^2

Where,

m = Mass

g = Gravitational energy

h = Height

v = Velocity

Considering power as the change of energy as a function of time we will then have to

P = \frac{\Delta W}{\Delta t}

P = \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}(gh+\frac{1}{2}v^2)

The rate of mass flow is,

\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} = \rho_w Av

Where,

\rho_w = Density of water

A = Area of the hose \rightarrow A=\pi r^2

The given radius is 0.83cm or 0.83 * 10^{-2}m, so the Area would be

A = \pi (0.83*10^{-2})^2

A = 0.0002164m^2

We have then that,

\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} = \rho_w Av

\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} = (1000)(0.0002164)(5.4)

\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} = 1.16856kg/s

Final the power of the pump would be,

P = \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}(gh+\frac{1}{2}v^2)

P = (1.16856)((9.8)(3.5)+\frac{1}{2}5.4^2)

P = 57.1192W

Therefore the power of the pump is 57.11W

An air craft heads north at 320 km/hr relative to the wind. the wind velocity is 80km/hr from the north. find the relative veloc
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Relative to the ground, the velocity of the aircraft is 240 km/hr

Explanation:

Relative velocity is different from normal velocity;

When 2 objects are moving in opposite directions towards each other, they will appear to be faster than they actually are;

This is known as the relative velocity;

The information tells us we have the aircraft moving 320 km/hr northwards relative to the wind;

The wind is in the opposite direction at 80 km/hr;

R = relative velocity of the aircraft

v = actual velocity of the aircraft

w = velocity of the wind

R = v + w

Note: if the wind was moving in the same direction, the formula would be R = v - w

320 = v + 80

v = 320 - 80

v = 240

The velocity relative to the ground is simply the actual velocity as the ground doesn't move;

So, relative to the ground, the velocity of the aircraft is simply 240 km/hr

A rod 7.0 m long is pivoted at a point 2.0 m from the left end. A downward force of 50 N acts at the left end, and a downward fo
kicyunya [14]

If the rod is in rotational equilibrium, then the net torques acting on it is zero:

∑ τ = 0

Let's give the system a counterclockwise orientation, so that forces that would cause the rod to rotate counterclockwise act in the positive direction. Compute the magnitudes of each torque:

• at the left end,

τ = + (50 N) (2.0 m) = 100 N•m

• at the right end,

τ = - (200 N) (5.0 m) = - 1000 N•m

• at a point a distance d to the right of the pivot point,

τ = + (300 N) d

Then

∑ τ = 100 N•m - 1000 N•m + (300 N) d = 0

⇒   (300 N) d = 1100 N•m

⇒   d ≈ 3.7 m
