A Venturi tube may be used as a fluid flowmeter. Suppose the device is used at a service station to measure the flow rate of gas

oline (p = 660 kg/m³) through a hose having an outlet radius of 2.80 cm. If the difference in pressure is measured to be P1 - P2 = 1.20 kPa and the radius of the inlet tube to the meter is 1.40 cm.(a) Find the speed of the gasoline as it leaves the hose.(b) Find the fluid flow rate in cubic meters per second.

Answer

given,

flow rate = p = 660 kg/m³

outer radius = 2.8 cm

P₁ - P₂ = 1.20 k Pa

inlet radius = 1.40 cm

using continuity equation

A₁ v₁ = A₂ v₂

π r₁² v₁ = π r₁² v₂

$v_1= \dfrac{r_1^2}{r_2^2} v_2$

$v_1= \dfrac{1.4^2}{2.8^2} v_2$

$v_1= 0.25 v_2$

Applying Bernoulli's equation

$\Delta P = \dfrac{1}{2}\rho (v_2^2-v_1^2)$

$\Delta P = \dfrac{1}{2}\rho (v_2^2-(0.25 v_2)^2)$

$\Delta P = \dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 (1 - 0.0625)$

$v_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\Delta P}{\rho(1 - 0.0625)}}$

$v_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1200}{660 \times(1 - 0.0625)}}$

v₂ = 1.97 m/s

b) fluid flow rate

Q = A₂ V₂

Q = π (0.014)² x 1.97

Q = 1.21 x 10⁻³ m³/s

slega [8]

We will convert the 1dm3 in terms of cm3 as follows:

1dm^3 = (10 cm)^3
= 1000 cm^3

The mass of platinum is equal to 900 lb.
Then we will convert the mass in terms of grams as follows:
1 lb = 453.6 g
900 = 900 x 453.6 g
= 408240 g

Then density of platinum is equal to 21.4 g/cm^3
We will calculate the volume of platinum in mass 408240 g as follows:
Volume of platinum = mass of platinum / density of platinum
= 408240 g / 21.4 g/cm^3
= 19076.6 cm^3

The total volume of platinum is 19076.6 cm^3
The volume of platinum in 1 L bar is 1000cm^3
So, to calculate the number of bars we will use the formula as follows;
Number of bars = volume of platinum available / volume of platinum required in 1 L bar
= 19076.6 cm^3 / 1000 cm^3
= 19
So, the number of bars are 19.

What difficulty will you encounter if you only have data from two recording station?

denpristay [2]

<span>If you have only two data from two recording stations then you will be having a hard time finding the correct location of the epicenter. This is because triangulation method requires 3 recording station. If you have 2 recording station, the 2 circles will intersect at 2 points giving you 2 locations that could possibly be the epicenter.</span>

A merry-go-round with a rotational inertia of 600 kg m2 and a radius of 3. 0 m is initially at rest. A 20 kg boy approaches the

Margaret [11]

Hi there!

$\boxed{\omega = 0.38 rad/sec}$

We can use the conservation of angular momentum to solve.

$\large\boxed{L_i = L_f}$

Recall the equation for angular momentum:

$L = I\omega$

We can begin by writing out the scenario as a conservation of angular momentum:

$I_m\omega_m + I_b\omega_b = \omega_f(I_m + I_b)$

$I_m$ = moment of inertia of the merry-go-round (kgm²)

$\omega_m$ = angular velocity of merry go round (rad/sec)

$\omega_f$ = final angular velocity of COMBINED objects (rad/sec)

$I_b$ = moment of inertia of boy (kgm²)

$\omega_b$ = angular velocity of the boy (rad/sec)

The only value not explicitly given is the moment of inertia of the boy.

Since he stands along the edge of the merry go round:

$I = MR^2$

We are given that he jumps on the merry-go-round at a speed of 5 m/s. Use the following relation:

$\omega = \frac{v}{r}$

$L_b = MR^2(\frac{v}{R}) = MRv$

Plug in the given values:

$L_b = (20)(3)(5) = 300 kgm^2/s$

Now, we must solve for the boy's moment of inertia:

$I = MR^2\\I = 20(3^2) = 180 kgm^2$

Use the above equation for conservation of momentum:

$600(0) + 300 = \omega_f(180 + 600)\\\\300 = 780\omega_f\\\\\omega = \boxed{0.38 rad/sec}$

A key falls from a bridge that is 45 m above the water. the key falls straight down and lands in a model boat traveling at a con

erastova [34]

Let the key is free falling, therefore from equation of motion

$h = ut +\frac{1}{2}gt^2.$ .

Take initial velocity, u=0, so

$h = 0\times t + \frac{1}{2}g t^2= \frac{1}{2}gt^2$ .

$h = 0\times t + \frac{1}{2}g t^2= \frac{1}{2}gt^2 \\\ t =\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }$

As velocity moves with constant velocity of 3.5 m/s, therefore we can use formula

$d= v \times t$

From above substituting t,

$d = v \times \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }$ .

Now substituting all the given values and g = 9.8 m/s^2, we get

$d = 3.5 \ m/s \times \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 45 m}{9.8 m/s^2} } = 10.60 m$ .

Thus, the distance the boat was from the point of impact when the key was released is 10.60 m.
