In a 100 mm diameter horizontal pipe, a venturimeter of 0.5 contraction ratio has been fitted. The head of water on the meter wh

en there is no flow is 3 m (gauge). Find the rate of flow for which the throat pressure will be 2m of water absolute. Discharge coefficient for the meter is 0.97.

Answer:

the rate of flow = 29.28 ×10⁻³ m³/s or 0.029 m³/s

Explanation:

Given:

Diameter of the pipe = 100mm = 0.1m

Contraction ratio = 0.5

thus, diameter at the throat of venturimeter = 0.5×0.1m = 0.05m

The formula for discharge through a venturimeter is given as:

Q=C_d\frac{A_1A_2}{\sqrt{A_1^2-A_2^2}}\sqrt{2gh}

Where,

C_d is the coefficient of discharge = 0.97 (given)

A₁ = Area of the pipe

A₁ = \frac{\pi}{4}0.1^2 = 7.85\times 10^{-3}m^2

A₂ = Area at the throat

A₂ = \frac{\pi}{4}0.05^2 = 1.96\times 10^{-3}m^2

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Now,

The gauge pressure at throat = Absolute pressure - The atmospheric pressure

⇒The gauge pressure at throat = 2 - 10.3 = -8.3 m (Atmosphric pressure = 10.3 m of water)

Thus, the pressure difference at the throat and the pipe = 3- (-8.3) = 11.3m

Substituting the values in the discharge formula we get

Q=0.97\frac{7.85\times 10^{-3}\times 1.96\times 10^{-3}}{\sqrt{7.85\times 10^{-3}^2-1.96\times 10^{-3}^2}}\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 11.3}

or

Q=\frac{0.97\times15.42\times 10^{-6}\times 14.88}{7.605\times 10^{-3}}

or

Q = 29.28 ×10⁻³ m³/s

Hence, the rate of flow = 29.28 ×10⁻³ m³/s or 0.029 m³/s

A horizontal force of 100 N is required to push a 50 kg crate across a factory floor at a constant speed. What is the accelerati
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

a = 2m/s^2

Explanation:

Force (F) = 100 N

Mass (m) = 50 kg

Here,

F = m×a

100 = 50 × a

a = 100÷50

a = 2m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration on the cart is a = 2m/s^2
