You are working as a summer intern for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and are assigned to some initial work

on water resources project. The department will be overseeing the construction of a dam to create a large fresh water lake that will be approximately 14 meters deep. A horizontal pipe 1.2 meters long and 3 cm in diameter will pass through the dam at a depth of 7 meters to allow for release of the water in emergencies and for sampling. In normal situations, a plug will secure the pipe opening.
1)What will be the total force on the left side of the plug?FLEFT =___________ N2)What is the total force on the right side of the plug?FRIGHT =__________ N3)What is the gauge pressure on the plug?Pgauge =___________ Pa4)If the plug were to be removed, how much water would flow out in 3 hours??VOL =_____________ m3

Answer:

1)   F = 71.6 N , 2)    F = 120.2 N , 3)  P_m=  68.600 Pa, 4)  V = 2.4210-5 m³

Explanation:

This is a problem of fluid mechanics, to find the force we must use its definition

         P = F / A

         F = P A

The area of ​​the circular pipe is

         A = π r² = π d²/4

The pressure is given by the expression

         P = P_atm + ρ g h

1) the force on the outer side is

       P = P_atm

we substitute in the expression of force

         F = P_atm π d² / 4

         

let's calculate

         F = 1,013 10⁵ π 0.03²/4

         F = 7.16 10¹ N

         F = 71.6 N

2) the force on the inner side

  the pressure

       P = P_atm + ρ g h

       P = 1,015 10⁵ + 1,000 9.8 7

        P = 1,701 10⁵ Pa

        F = 1,701 10⁵ π 0.03² / 4

        F = 1,202 10²

        F = 120.2 N

3) manometric pressure

       Pm = ρ g h

       P m = 1000 9.8  7

       P_m=  68.600 Pa

4) In this part they ask for the volume that comes out in time t= 3 h

   to calculate this volume we can use the flow ratio

         Q = A v

          V t = A v

          V = A v / t

sent is the velocity of the water that comes out, to calculate it we use the Bernoulli equation

we will use index 1 for the lake surface and ionice 2 apa the position of the plug

           P₁ + ρ g v₁² + ρ g y₁ = P₂ + ρ g v₂² + ρ g y₂

As the lake has much more capacity than the pipeline, the velocity of the surface of the lake is peeling, in this case we approximate it steel

           (P₁-P₂) + ρ G (y₁ -y₂) = ρ g v₂²

           1000 9.8 v₂² = ρ g h + 1000 9.8 (7-0)

             9800 v₂² = 1000 9.8 7 + 68600

              v₂ = √ (137200)

               v₂ = 370.4 m / s

             t = 3 h (3600s / h) = 10800 s

     

we substitute in the volume equation

             V = π d²/4   370.4 / 10800

             V = 2.4210-5 m³

You throw a glove straight upward to celebrate a victory. Its initial kinetic energy is K and it reaches a maximum height h. Wha
Rasek [7]

Answer:

K/2

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mechanical energy states that the sum of the kinetic and potential energies is a constant at any point.

At maximum height, the glove has purely potential energy but at the bottom, it has purely kinetic energy.

The potential energy at the top = kinetic energy at the bottom. The potential energy is given by

PE = mgh

At half height, this potential energy is

PE = \frac{1}{2}mgh

At this height, PE + KE = Constant = KE at bottom or PE at maximum height.

mgh = \frac{1}{2}mgh +KE

KE = \frac{1}{2}mgh = K/2

An electric circuit is anything in which electric current flows. Typically it refers to things with wiring like the electronics in your phone, but it can be made of anything that conducts electricity.

Say you have a battery, it basically has a bunch of electrons under a potential (think of gas in a tank under pressure), but the only way for the electrons to move is to move through a conductor, which are molecules with loosely held electrons. If you take a copper wire and touch each end to the two terminals you’ve completed an electric circuit because the electrons can now flow. But you can also put things partway through the wire like a lightbulb, which when the electrons run through it generates light.
