Refer to the diagram shown below.
Still-water speed = 9.5 m/s
River speed = 3.75 m/s down stream.
The velocity of the swimmer relative to the bank is the vector sum of his still-water speed and the speed of the river.
The velocity relative to the bank is
V = √(9.5² + 3.75²) = 10.21 m/s
The downstream angle is
θ = tan⁻¹ 3.75/9.5 = 21.5°
Answer: 10.2 m/s at 21.5° downstream.
Answer:
The discharge of the stream at this location is 40 cubic meters per second.
Explanation:
The discharge is the volume flow rate of the water in the stream. For this purpose we can use the following formula:
Discharge = Volume Flow Rate = (Cross-Sectional Area)(Velocity of Stream)
Volume Flow Rate = (Width of Stream)(Depth of Stream)(Velocity of Stream)
Volume Flow Rate = (4 meters)(2 meters)(5 meters per second)
<u>Volume Flow Rate = 40 cubic meters per second</u>
Therefore, the discharge of the stream at this location is found to be <u>40 cubic meters per second</u>
This result shows that 40 cubic meters volume of water passes or discharges through this point in a time of one second. Hence, this is called the volume flow rate or the discharge of the stream.
There are multiple reasons for this. First of all, water is available in almost every place on the Earth. It doesn't pollute the air, doesn't cause health use and is easily handle.
Other factor is the fact that water has a really high specific heat. This means that water, and more specifically steam, can aborb and transport more energy. A lower heat capacity would imply the need to boil more of the liquid to obtain the same amount of energy. This combine with the fact that water expands at a large rate when boiling, combine with everything mentioned previously, and you get a liquid with all the characteristics that a efficient turbine requires to work.
