A water tower is a familiar sight in many towns. The purpose of such a tower is to provide storage capacity and to provide suffi

cient pressure in the pipes that deliver the water to customers. The drawing shows a spherical reservoir that contains 5.25  105 kg of water when full. The reservoir is vented to the atmosphere at the top. For a full reservoir, find the gauge pressure that the water has at the faucet in (a) house A and (b) house B. Ignore the diameter of the delivery pipes

The image of the water tower and the houses is in the attachment.

Answer: (a) P = 245kPa;

(b) P = 173.5 kPa

Explanation: <u>Gauge</u> <u>pressure</u> is the pressure relative to the atmospheric pressure and it is only dependent of the height of the liquid in the container.

The pressure is calculated as: P = hρg

where

ρ is the density of the liquid, in this case, water, which is ρ = 1000kg/m³;

When it is full the reservoir contains 5.25×10⁵ kg. So, knowing the density, you know the volume:

ρ = \frac{m}{V}

V = ρ/m

V = \frac{5.25.10^{5}}{10^{3}}

V = 525 m³

To know the height of the spherical reservoir, its diameter is needed and to determine it, find the radius:

V = \frac{4}{3}.\pi.r^{3}

r = \sqrt[3]{ \frac{3}{4\pi } .V}

r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{525.3}{4\pi } }

r = 5.005 m

diameter = 2*r = 10.01m

(a) Height for House A:

h = 15 + 10.01

h = 25.01

P = hρg

P = 25.01.10³.9.8

P = 245.10³ Pa or 245kPa

(b) h = 25 - 7.3

h = 17.71

P = hρg

P = 17.71.1000.9.8

P = 173.5.10³ Pa or 173.5 kPa

A rock is thrown downward from an unknown height above the ground with an initial speed of 6.1 m/s. It strikes the ground 1.7 s
insens350 [35]

Answer:

24.531 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 1.7 s

u = Initial velocity = 6.1 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

Equation of motion

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=6.1\times 1.7+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 1.7^2\\\Rightarrow s=24.531\ m

The initial height of the rock above the ground is 24.531 m

What is the velocity of a car that traveled a total of 75 kilometers north in 1.5 hours?
swat32

The car's velocity is (distance + direction) / (time) =

                                 (75 km-north) / (1.5 hrs)  =

                                 (75/1.5)  (km-north/hr)  =  50 km/hr  north.
