Answer:

156.67 m/s

0.45676 times the speed of sound

Explanation:

Distance from the ground = 23.5 km = 23500 m

Time taken by the blast waves to reach the ground = $2\ minutes\ 30\ seconds=2\times 60+30=150\ s$

Spedd of the wave would be

$Speed=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}\\\Rightarrow v_b=\dfrac{23500}{150}\\\Rightarrow v-b=156.67\ m/s$

The velocity of the blast wave is 156.67 m/s

v = Velocity of sound = 343 m/s

$\dfrac{v_b}{v}=\dfrac{156.67}{343}\\\Rightarrow v_b=v\dfrac{156.67}{343}\\\Rightarrow v_b=0.45676v$

The blast wave is 0.45676 times the speed of sound

A double nozzle lying in a horizontal x-y plane discharges water into the atmosphere at a rate of 0.5 m3 /s. Assume the water sp

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

The force is $F= 46.25kN$

Explanation:

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

At Equilibrium the summation of the of force on the vertical axis is zero

i.e $\sum F_y =0$

=> $F_y sin \ 60^o =\rho Q (v_2 -v_1 cos \ 30^o)$

$v_2$ is the is the speed of water at the nozzle which can be mathematically evaluated as

$v_2 = \frac{R}{A_n}$

substituting $0.5m^3/s$ for R and $\frac{\pi}{4}(12*\frac{1m}{100} )^2$ for $A_n$

$v_2 = \frac{0.5}{\frac{\pi}{4} * (12*\frac{1}{100} )^2 }$

$= 44.23 m/s$

$v_1$ is the is the speed of water at the pipe which can be mathematically evaluated as

$v_1 = \frac{R}{A_p}$

substituting $0.5m^3/s$ for R and $\frac{\pi}{4}(30*\frac{1m}{100} )^2$ for $A_p$

$v_1 = \frac{0.5}{\frac{\pi}{4} * (30*\frac{1}{100} )^2 }$

$= 7.07 m/s$

$\rho$ is he density of water with value $\rho =1000 kg /m^3$

Substituting values into the equation above

$F_ysin 60^o = 1000 (0.5) (44.23 -7.07 cos 30)$

$= 21.99kN$

At Equilibrium the summation of the of force on the horizontal axis is zero

i.e $\sum F_x =0$

=> $F_y sin \ 30^o =\rho Q (v_2 -v_1 sin \ 30^o)$

Since The speed at both A and B nozzle are the same then $v_2$ remains the same

Substituting values

$F_x sin30^o =1000 (0.5) (44.23 - 7.07*sin30)$

=> $F_x = 40.69kN$

Hence the force acting on the flange bolts required to hold the nozzle in place is

$F = \sqrt{F_x^2 + F_y^2}$

$= \sqrt{40.69 ^2 + 21.99^2}$

$F= 46.25kN$

Fynjy0 [20]

Initial speed = 2√10 m/s

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Linear motion consists of 2: constant velocity motion with constant velocity and uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration

An equation of uniformly accelerated motion

V = vo + at

Vt² = vo² + 2a (x-xo)

x = distance on t

vo / vi = initial speed

vt / vf = speed on t / final speed

a = acceleration

vf=20 m/s

d = 60 m

a = 3 m/s²

$\tt vf^2=vi^2+2.ad\\\\20^2=vi^2+2\times 3\times 60\\\\400=vi^2+360\\\\40=vi^2\\\\vi=\sqrt{40}=2\sqrt{10}~m/s$
