Solution:

From Bernoulli equation

\frac{1}{2}ρV_{1}^{2} + ρgh = \frac{1}{2}ρV_{2}^{2} , where ρ is density of water, h – height difference and V_{1} and V_{2}  are the velocities in upper and lower cross sections correspondingly. We take into account that the pressure in both cross-sections is the same and equal to the atmospheric one.

From the continuity and assuming water incompressible:

\pi r_{1}^{2}V_{1} = \pi r_{2}^{2}V_{2} , where A_{1} and A_{2} are the corresponding cross-sections. As the lower diameter is twice as low as the upper one, we can conclude that V_{1} = \frac{V_{2}}{4}

Inserting it back into Bernoulli equations produces:

V_{1} = \sqrt{\frac{2}{15}gh} = 0.26m/s and the flow rate is

\pi r_{1}^{2}V_{1} = \pi r_{2}^{2}V_{2} = 8.10^{-5} \frac{m^{3} }{s}

Let x = a + bi and y = c + di and z = f + gi
ikadub [295]
True statements:
a) x + y = y + x  ⇒ commutative property of addition
b) (x * y) * z = x * (y * z) ⇒ associative property of multiplication
d) (x + y) + z = x + (y + z) ⇒ associative property of addition

False statements:
c) x - y = y - x  should be: x - y = - y + x
e) (x - y) - z = x - (y - z) should be: (x - y) - z = x - (y + z)

Solve by any method <br> y= -7x+10<br> y= -3x+6
AnnyKZ [126]
Y=1
To get it, you use the method of substitution. So you swtich the top y by the equation of the bottom=-3x+6=-7x+10. You first add 7x to each side=4x+6=10 then you minus 6 from each side=4x=4 which is 1
