Answer:

F = 749 [N]

Explanation:

We must give full information on this problem, as well as the question that needs to be resolved.

Water at 20°C flows through a 5-cm-diameter pipe that has a 180° vertical bend. The total length of pipe between flanges 1 and 2 is 75 cm. When the weight flow rate is 230 N/s,

P1=165kPa

and

P2=134kPa

Neglecting pipe weight, determine the total force that the flanges must withstand for this flow.

We must make a U-shaped body diagram of the pipe in order to visualize the forces acting according to the pressures and the area of the pipe.

Then by means of the second law of motion of Newton, which says that the sum of the forces must be equal to the product of mass times acceleration, we can find the force Fp

Let us remember that pressure is defined as the divided force over the area, therefore:

F = P *A

where:

P = pressure

A = area

The product of the mass by acceleration, is equal to the product of the speed of the fluid by the mass flow, since we know the weight of the fluid we can find its mass flow.

$W_{flow}=230[N/s]\\W_{flow} =g*m_{flow}\\m_{flow} = W_{flow} / g\\m_{flow} = 230/9.81\\m_{flow}= 23.45[kg/s]$

In the function of the mass flow, we can find the velocity of the fluid, as we also know the diameter of the pipe

$m_{flow} = density*v*A\\where\\density = 1000[kg/m^{3}]\\ v= velocity[m/s]\\A = area [m^{2}]\\v=\frac{m_{flow}}{density*A} \\v=\frac{23.45}{1000*\frac{\pi}{4}*(5*10^{-2})^{2} } \\v= 11.94 [m/s]$

We know that the atmospheric pressure is equal to:

$P_{atm} = 101.325[kpa]$

The value of the pipe area is calculated for a circular section

$A = \frac{\pi}{4} * (0.05)^{2}\\ A = 0.00196[m^{2} ]$

The resultant force is 749 [N]

The solution of the equations and the free body diagram can be seen in the attached picture.

HELP ASAP!! WILL TRY TO GIVE BRAINLIESTT!!

vfiekz [6]

If a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell, and the cell will shrink. In an isotonic environment, there is no net water movement, so there is no change in the size of the cell. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, water will enter the cell, and the cell will swell.

Barker is unloading 20kg bottles of water from this delivery truck when one of the bottles tips over and slides down the truck r

Degger [83]

<span>The overall force that is acting on the bottle is gravity. With the incline being 30 degrees the full force of gravity isn't acting on the bottle becuase the ramp isn't allowing the bottle to go straight down. By taking the sin of 30 degrees you find the proportion of gravity that is acting on the bottle to be 4.9 meters per second and the bottle weights 20 kg so the force acting on the bottle is 98 Newtons.</span>

EleoNora [17]

3) Earth is about 150 million km from the Sun, and the apparent brightness of the Sun in our sky is about 1,300 watts per square meter. Determine the apparent brightness we would measure for the Sun if we were located five times Earth's distance from the Sun. Answer: The Sun would appear 1/25 times as bright.

How is reflection of light used in research

mel-nik [20]

In order to read the publications of his peers, or read his own notes of the work
that he did on the previous day, or find his coffee mug on his desk in the lab, the
research scientist must arrange to have each of them illuminated with visible
wavelengths of light, and then he must catch the light reflected from each of them
with his eyes.
