Answer

given,

gauge pressure =   1.94 x 10⁵ Pa

Pressure due to 4.90 m column of water

= ρ g h

= (4.90) x  (1000)  x (9.8) Pa

= 48020 Pa

Gauge pressure of second floor faucet

= 1.94 x 10⁵Pa - 48020 Pa

P_g= 145980 Pa

( b )

Let h = height of faucet from which no water can flow even if open

P = ρ g h

1.94 x 10⁵  = h x(1000) x (9.8)

h = 19.79 m

Which of the following is the best example of kinetic energy being transformed into potential energy
poizon [28]

A pendulum is probably the most common showing of this example. As the pendulum swings down, it converts its potential energy (height) into kinetic energy (velocity). At the lowest point the kinetic energy is the highest and the potential is the lowest. At the highest point in its swing the velocity is zero so the kinetic energy is zero and the potential energy is at a maximum (greatest height).

A 6.0-cm-diameter horizontal pipe gradually narrows to 4.5 cm. When water flows through this pipe at a certain rate, the gauge p
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

0.0072 m³/s

Explanation:

Using Bernoulli's law

P₁ + 1/2ρv₁² = P₂ + 1/2ρv₂ since the pipe is horizontal

1/2ρv₂² - 1/2ρv₁² = P₁ - P₂

flow rate is constant

A₁v₁ = A₂v₂

A₁ = πr₁² = π (0.06/2)² = 0.0028278 m²

A₂ = πr₂² = π (0.0225)² = 0.00159 m²

v₁  = (A₂ / A₁)v₂

v₁  = (0.00159 m²/ 0.0028278  m²) v₂ = 0.562  v₂

substitute v₁  into the Bernoulli's equation

1/2ρv₂² - 1/2ρv₁² = P₁ - P₂

500 ( 1 - 0.3161 ) v₂²  = (31.0 - 24 ) × 10³ Pa

341.924 v₂² = 7000

v₂² = 20.472

v₂ = √ 20.472 = 4.525 m/s

volume follow rate = 0.00159 m² ×  4.525 m/s = 0.0072 m³/s
