A garden hose fills a 2-gallon bucket in 5 seconds. The number of gallons, g (y), is proportional to the number of seconds, t (x

), that the water is running. What is the constant of proportionality?

Answer:

0.4 gallons per second

Explanation:

A function shows the relationship between an independent variable and a dependent variable.

The independent variable (x values) are input variables i.e. they don't depend on other variables while the dependent variable (y values) are output variables i.e. they depend on other variables.

The rate of change or slope or constant of proportionality is the ratio of the dependent variable (y value) to the independent variable (x value).

Given that the garden hose fills a 2-gallon bucket in 5 seconds. The dependent variable = g = number of gallons, the independent variable = t = number of seconds.

Constant of proportionality = g / t = 2 / 5 = 0.4 gallons per second

Verizon [17]

Answer:

c = 18.0569 mm

Explanation:

Strategy  

We will find required diameter based on angle of twist and based on shearing stress. The larger value will govern.  

Given Data  

Applied Torque

T = 750 N.m

Length of shaft

L = 1.2 m

Modulus of Rigidity

G = 77.2 GPa

Allowable Stress

г = 90 MPa

Maximum Angle of twist  

∅=4°

∅=4*\pi/180

∅=69.813 *10^-3 rad

Required Diameter based on angle of twist  

∅=TL/GJ

∅=TL/G*\pi/2*c^4

∅=2TL/G*\pi*c^4

c=\sqrt[4]{2TL/\pi G }∅

c=18.0869 *10^-3 rad

Required Diameter based on shearing stress

г = T/J*c

г = [T/(J*\pi/2*c^4)]*c

г =[2T/(J*\pi*c^4)]*c

c=17.441*10^-3 rad

Minimum Radius Required  

We will use larger of the two values  

c= 18.0569 x 10^-3 m  

c = 18.0569 mm

A 14 inch diameter pipe is decreased in diameter by 2 inches through a contraction. The pressure entering the contraction is 28
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

5984.67N

Explanation:

A 14 inch diameter pipe is decreased in diameter by 2 inches through a contraction. The pressure entering the contraction is 28 psi and a pressure drop of 2 psi occurs through the contraction if the upstream velocity is 4.0 ft/sec. What is the magnitude of the resultant force (lbs) needed to hold the pipe in place?

from continuity equation

v1A1=v2A2

equation of continuity

v1=4ft /s=1.21m/s

d1=14 inch=.35m

d2=14-2=0.304m

A1=pi*d^2/4

0.096m^2

a2=0.0706m^2

from continuity once again

1.21*0.096=v2(0.07)

v2=1.65

force on the pipe

(p1A1- p2A2) + m(v2 – v1)

from bernoulli

p1 + ρv1^2/2 = p2 + ρv2^2/2

difference in pressure or pressure drop

p1-p2=2psi

13.789N/m^2=rho(1.65^2-1.21^2)/2

rho=21.91kg/m^3

since the pipe is cylindrical

pressure is egh

13.789=21.91*9.81*h

length of the pipe is

0.064m

AH=volume of the pipe(area *h)

the mass =rho*A*H

0.064*0.07*21.91

m=0.098kg

(193053*0.096- 179263.6* 0.07) + 0.098(1.65 – 1.21)

force =5984.67N
