A water pipe is inclined 40.0° below the horizontal. The radius of the pipe at the upper end is 2.00 cm. If the gauge pressure a

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

$P_2 = -1.9 \times 10^8 Pa$

Explanation:

As it is given that flow rate in the pipe is 20 cm^3/s

so we have

$Q = A_1v_1 = A_2v_2$

at the upper end the area is given as

$A_1 = \pi r_1^2$

$A_1 = \pi(0.02)^2 = 1.26 \times 10^{-3} cm^2$

Also at the other end

$A_2 = \pi r_2^2$

$A_2 = \pi(0.01)^2 = 0.314 \times 10^{-3} cm^2$

now the speed at two ends is given as

$v_1 = \frac{20}{1.26 \times 10^{-3}}$

$v_1 = 159.15 m/s$

$v_2 = \frac{20}{0.314 \times 10^{-3}}$

$v_2 = 637 m/s$

now by Bernoulli's theorem we have

$P_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 + \rho g h_1 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 + \rho g h_2$

now we have

$0.112(1.013 \times 10^5) + \frac{1}{2}1000(159.15)^2 + 1000(9.81)(2.65sin40) = P_2 + \frac{1}{2}(1000)(637)^2 + 0$

Now we have

$P_2 = -1.9 \times 10^8 Pa$

lora16 [44]

Answer:

Catastrophic theories

Explanation:

The theory of catastrophe is a collection of methods used to analyze and describe the ways in which a system can experience sudden significant behavioral changes when one or more of the variables that govern it are continuously modified.

Georges Louis de Buffon suggested in 1745 the first destructive theory — that a comet pulled material from the Sun to form the planets.

Therefore the answer is -

Catastrophic theories
