Answer: 2738.5 cubic metres

Explanation: Given that

Flow rate Q = 350m^3/s

Height h = 2m

Distance x = 100m

Using pythagorean theorem to find the length L of the pipe

L^2 = 100^2 + 2^2

L^2 = 10004

L = 100.02 m

Let assume that the pipe is uniform of same diameter at both ends and water flows through the pipe

Let also consider the atmospheric pressure at the upper channel

Using bernoulli equation

P1 = P2 + 1/2pV^2

Where P2 = phg

P1 = atmospheric pressure = 101325pa

V = velocity

p = density = 1000kg/m3

101325 = 1000×9.81×2 + (0.5×1000V^2)

101325 - 19620 = 500V^2

81705 = 500V^2

V^2 = 163.41

V = 12.8 m/s

Q = V × A

Where A = area of the pipe

A = Q/V

A = 350/12.8 = 27.4 square metre

The volume of the pipe = A × L

Volume = 27.4 × 100.02

Volume = 2738.5 cubic metres

The volume of the pipe determines how large a pipe is needed to carry the flow

Answer:

D ≈ 8.45 m

L ≈ 100.02 m

Explanation:

Given

Q = 350 m³/s (volumetric water flow rate passing through the stretch of channel, maximum capacity of the aqueduct)

y₁ - y₂ = h = 2.00 m (the height difference from the upper to the lower channels)

x = 100.00 m (distance between the upper and the lower channels)

We assume that:

  • the upper and the lower channels are at the same pressure (the atmospheric pressure).
  • the velocity of water in the upper channel is zero (v₁ = 0 m/s).
  • y₁ = 2.00 m  (height of the upper channel)
  • y₂ = 0.00 m  (height of the lower channel)
  • g = 9.81 m/s²
  • ρ = 1000 Kg/m³ (density of water)

We apply Bernoulli's equation as follows between the point 1 (the upper channel) and the point 2 (the lower channel):

P₁ + (ρ*v₁²/2) + ρ*g*y₁ = P₂ + (ρ*v₂²/2) + ρ*g*y₂

Plugging the known values into the equation and simplifying we get

Patm + (1000 Kg/m³*(0 m/s)²/2) + (1000 Kg/m³)*(9.81 m/s²)*(2 m) = Patm + (1000 Kg/m³*v₂²/2) + (1000 Kg/m³)*(9.81 m/s²)*(0 m)

⇒ v₂ = 6.264 m/s

then we apply the formula

Q = v*A  ⇒   A = Q/v ⇒   A = Q/v₂

⇒   A = (350 m³/s)/(6.264 m/s)

⇒   A = 55.873 m²

then, we get the diameter of the pipe as follows

A = π*D²/4   ⇒   D = 2*√(A/π)

⇒   D = 2*√(55.873 m²/π)

⇒   D = 8.434 m ≈ 8.45 m

Now, the length of the pipe can be obtained as follows

L² = x² + h²

⇒ L² = (100.00 m)² + (2.00 m)²

⇒ L ≈ 100.02 m

4. If you swing wide to the left before turning right, another driver may try to pass you on the right. True or False
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Don't turn wide to the left as you start the turn. A driver behind may think you are turning left and try to pass you on the right. You may crash into the other vehicle as you complete your turn.

Instead, slowly give yourself and others more time to avoid problems, keep the rear of the vehicle close to the curb. This will stop other drivers from passing you on the right. This is called (button Hook)

If you are driving a truck or bus that cannot make the right turn without swinging into the other lane, turn wide as you complete the turn.

It takes at least 4 people to push a refrigerator up a 10-meter ramp. How many people would be needed to push the same refrigera
vaieri [72.5K]
Double the amount of people because the ramp went from 10-meter to 20-meter, so times by 2. 4 times 2 is 8.
The answer is 8 people.
Hope this helps!

Why does a vibrating simple pendulum not to produce any sound
Gelneren [198K]
It does produce 'sound' ... a compression wave traveling through the air. But your ears don't hear a sound that's vibrating less than 20 or 30 times every second. If you could swing your pendulum that fast, you could hear the sound of its vibrations pushing the air around.

What comes first the color orange or the fruit orange
aalyn [17]

Answer:

Given the exoticism of the orange fruit, you could be forgiven that the color came first as it naturally occurs independent of the fruit such as in sunsets or leaves in autumn. Orange actually comes from the Old French word for the citrus fruit - 'pomme d'orenge' - according to the Collins dictionary.

belka [17]

Answer:

a. The moment of the 4 N force is 16 N·m clockwise

b. The moment of the 6 N force is 12 N·m anticlockwise

Explanation:

In the figure, we have;

The distance from the point 'O', to the 6 N force = 2 m

The position of the 6 N force relative to the point 'O' = To the left of 'O'

The distance from the point 'O', to the 4 N force = 4 m

The position of the 4 N force relative to the point 'O' = To the right of 'O'

a. The moment of a force about a point, M = The force, F × The perpendicular distance of the force from the point

a. The moment of the 4 N force = 4 N × 4 m = 16 N·m clockwise

b. The moment of the 6 N force = 6 N × 2 m = 12 N·m anticlockwise.
