Water enters a student's house 10.0 m above the ground through a pipe with a cross section area of 1.00 x 10-4m2 at ground. Insi

de the house the pipe's cross section area is 0.50 x 10-4m2. The student in the house want to know the water pressure inside the pipe at the ground level. He first measured the volume of the bath tank that equals to 45.0 L. Then he fill the tank (the tank is 10 meters above the ground) inside the house with 90.0 seconds. The pipe inside the house is open with the sea level pressure The density of water is 1000 kgm3.
(a) Calculate the water speed at the ground pipe with larger cross section area and the water speed inside the house with smaller cross section area.
(b) Calculate the water pressure in the pipeline at the ground level.

Answer:

(a). V₁ = 10m/s (velocity inside the house), V₂ = 5m/s (velocity at ground level)

(b). P₂ = 236500 Pa

Explanation:

This is quite straight-forward so let us begin by defining the terms given.

Given that;

The cross-section area inside the student's house A₁ = 0.50 0.50 x 10-4m2.

Let us make the velocity of water inside the house be V₁

such that the Volume of water entering the per second is = A₁V₁

Therefore, in 90sec:

45 L =  90 A₁V₁

V₁ = 45 * 10⁻³m³ / 90*0.5*10⁻⁴

V₁ = 10m/s            (velocity of water inside the house)

From the continuity equation we have that;

A₁V₁ = A₂V₂

0.5*10⁻⁴ * 10 = 1*10⁻⁴ V₂

V₂ = 5m/s               (velocity at ground level)

(b). We are told to calculate the water pressure in the pipeline at the ground level.

Using Bernoulli's equation;

P₁ + pgh₁ + 1/2PV₁²  (inside)      =       P₂ + pgh₂ + 1/2PV₂²   (ground level)

1.01*10⁵ + 1000*9.8*10 + 1/2*1000*(10)² = P₂ + 0 + 1/2*1000*(5)²

P₂ (pressure) = 1.01*10⁵Pa

Therefore we have;

101000 + 98000 + 50000 = P₂ + 12500

P₂ = 236500 Pa

cheers I hope this helped !!

Since vectors always have positive magnitudes, the sum of two vectors must have a magnitude greater than the magnitude of either
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Yes the magnitude of a vector is always positive , but a vector consists of

  • magnitude
  • direction

when two vectors are added their direction may be opposite to each other For example-

a=3i+3j

b=3i-6j ,

then their resultant

r=b+a\\r=3i+3j+3i-6j\\r=6i-3j

This resultant vector's x and y component equal to y and x component of vector b so its magnitude will be equal to magnitude of vector b.

Therefore, the resultant magnitude not necessary equal to the magnitude of either vector.
