When you urinate, you increase pressure in your bladder to produce the flow. For an elephant, gravity does the work. An elephant

urinates at a remarkable rate of 0.0060 m3 (a bit over a gallon and a half) per second. Assume that the urine exits 1.0 m below the bladder and passes through the urethra, which we can model as a tube of diameter 8.0 cm and length 1.2 m. Assume that urine has the same density as water, and that viscosity can be ignored for this flow.
1) What is the speed of the flow?
2) If we assume that the liquid is at rest in the bladder (a reasonable assumption) and that the pressure where the urine exits is equal to atmospheric pressure, what does Bernoulli's equation give for the pressure in the bladder?

Answer:

a) v =  1.19 m / s , b)   P₁ = 0.922 10⁵ Pa

Explanation:

1) Let's use the fluid continuity equation

       Q = A v

The area of ​​a circle is

      A = π r2 = π d²/4

     

     v = Q / A = Q 4 / pi d²

     v = 0.006 4/π 0.08²

     v =  1.19 m / s

2) write Bernoulli's equation, where point 1 is the bladder and point 2 is the urine exit point

     P₁ + ½ rho v₁² + rho g y₁ = P₂ + ½ rho v₂² + rho g y₂

The exercise tell us

P₂ = 1.0013 105 Pa

v₁ = 0

y₁ = 1 m

y₂=0  

Rho (water) = 1000 kg / m³

      P₁ + rho y₁ = P₂ + ½ rho v₂²

      P₁ = P₂ + ½ rho v₂² - rho g y₁

      P₁ = 1.013 10⁵ + ½ 1000 (1.19)² - 1000 9.8 1

      P₁ = 1.013 10⁵ +708.5  - 9800

      P₁ =  92208.5Pa

      P₁ = 0.922 10⁵ Pa

A bicyclist is initially traveling at 3 m/s. The bicyclist accelerates at 1 m/s2 for 5 seconds.
leonid [27]
The change in velocity is 5m/s which added to the initial 3m/s makes the final velocity 8m/s

Distance = (3*5) + (1/2*1*5^2)= 15+12.5= 27.5m

In a third class lever, the distance from the effort to the fulcrum is ____________ the distance from the load/resistance to the
padilas [110]
The complete sentence is:
In a third class lever, the distance from the effort to the fulcrum is SMALLER the distance from the load/resistance to the fulcrum.
In fact, in a third class lever, the fulcrum is on one side of the effort and the load/resistance is on the other side, so the effort is located somewhere between the two of them. This means that the distance effort-fulcrum is smaller than the distance load-fulcrum.
