2. (Problem 4.60 on main book, diameters different) Water flows steadily through a fire hose and nozzle. The hose is 35 mm diame
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

coupling is in tension

Force = -244.81 N

Explanation:

Diameter of Hose ( D1 ) = 35 mm

Diameter of nozzle ( D2 ) = 25 mm

water gage pressure in hose = 510 kPa

stream leaving the nozzle is uniform

exit speed and pressure = 32 m/s and atmospheric

<u>Determine the force transmitted by the coupling between the nozzle and hose </u>

attached below is the remaining part of the  detailed solution

Inlet velocity ( V1 ) = V2 ( D2/D1 )^2  

= 32 ( 25 / 35 )^2

= 16.33 m/s

Calculate the differential pressure in kPa across the hatch of a submarine 320m below the surface of the sea. Assume the atmosph
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

The pressure difference across hatch of the submarine is 3217.68 kpa.

Explanation:

Gauge pressure is the pressure above the atmospheric pressure. If we consider gauge pressure for finding pressure differential then no need to consider atmospheric pressure as they will cancel out. According to hydrostatic law, pressure varies in the z direction only.  

Given:

Height of the hatch is 320 m

Surface gravity of the sea water is 1.025.

Density of water 1000 kg/m³.

Calculation:

Step1

Density of sea water is calculated as follows:

S.G=\frac{\rho_{sw}}{\rho_{w}}

Here, density of sea water is\rho_{sw}, surface gravity is S.G and density of water is \rho_{w}.

Substitute all the values in the above equation as follows:

S.G=\frac{\rho_{sw}}{\rho_{w}}

1.025=\frac{\rho_{sw}}{1000}

\rho_{sw}=1025 kg/m³.

Step2

Difference in pressure is calculated as follows:

\bigtriangleup p=rho_{sw}gh

\bigtriangleup p=1025\times9.81\times320

\bigtriangleup p=3217680 pa.

Or

\bigtriangleup p=(3217680pa)(\frac{1kpa}{100pa})

\bigtriangleup p=3217.68 kpa.

Thus, the pressure difference across hatch of the submarine is 3217.68 kpa.

A slender rod AB, of weight W, is attached to blocks A and B, which move freely in the guides shown. The blocks are connected by
gregori [183]

Answer:

(a) T = W/2(1-tanθ)  (b) 39.81°

Explanation:

(a) The equation for tension (T) can be derived by considering the summation of moment in the clockwise direction. Thus:

Summation of moment in clockwise direction is equivalent to zero. Therefore,

T*l*(sinθ) + W*(l/2)*cosθ - T*l*cosθ = 0

T*l*(cosθ - sinθ) = W*(l/2)*cosθ

T = W*cosθ/2(cosθ - sinθ)

Dividing both the numerator and denominator by cosθ, we have:

T = [W*cosθ/cosθ]/2[(cosθ - sinθ)/cosθ] = W/2(1-tanθ)

(b) If T = 3W, then:

3W = W/2(1-tanθ),

Further simplification and rearrangement lead to:

1 - tanθ = 1/6

tanθ = 1 - (1/6) = 5/6

θ = tan^(-1) 5/6 = 39.81°

The nuclear reactions resulting from thermal neutron absorption in boron and cadmium are 10B5 + 1 n0 ï  7Li3 + 4He2 113Cd48 + 1
kirill115 [55]

Solution :

The nuclear reaction for boron is given as :

$^{10}\textrm{B}_5 + ^{1}\textrm{n}_0 \rightarrow ^{7}\textrm{Li}_3 + ^{4}\textrm{He}_2$

And the reaction for Cadmium is :

$^{113}\textrm{Cd}_48 + ^{1}\textrm{n}_0 \rightarrow ^{114}\textrm{Cd}_48 + \gamma [5 \ \textrm{MeV}]$

We know that it is easier that to shield or stop an alpha particle (i.e. He nucli) as they can be stopped or obstructed by only a few centimetres of the material. However, the gamma rays ( γ ) can penetrate through the material to a greater distance. Therefore, we can choose the first one.
