Answer:

(a). The velocity head at elevation of 20 m is 6.52 m/s.

(b). The pressure head at elevation of 20 m is 26.42 m.

(c). The velocity is 6.52 m/s.

(d). The pressure head at elevation of 55 m is 16.42 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Vertical diameter = 0.15 m

Rate =0.20 m³/s

Pressure = 210 kPa

Elevation = 25 m

We need to calculate the velocity

Using formula of velocity

$Q=vA$

$v=\dfrac{Q}{A}$

Put the value into the formula

$v=\dfrac{0.20}{\pi\dfrac{D^2}{4}}$

$v=\dfrac{0.20}{\pi\dfrac{0.15^2}{4}}$

$v=11.31\ m/s$

Since, Q is constant, A is constant so v will be constant everywhere.

(a). We need to calculate the velocity head at elevation of 20 m

Using formula of velocity head

$v'=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}$

Put the value into the formula

$v'=\dfrac{11.31^2}{2\times9.8}$

$v'=6.52\ m/s$

The velocity head at elevation of 20 m is 6.52 m/s.

(b). We need to calculate pressure head at elevation of 20 m,

Using Bernoulli equation

$h+\dfrac{p}{\rho g}+\dfrac{v^2}{2g}=constant$

$h+\dfrac{p}{\rho g}=constant$

Here, velocity is constant

At h = 20 m

$20+P_{H}=25+\dfrac{210\times10^{3}}{1000\times9.8}$

$P_{H=46.42-20$

$P_{H}=26.42\ m$

The pressure head at elevation of 20 m is 26.42 m.

(c). We need to calculate the velocity head at elevation of 55 m,

The velocity is v'=6.52 m/s.

(d). We need to calculate the pressure head at elevation of 55 m

Using formula again

At h = 55 m

$h=55+P_{H}$

$55+P_{H}=25+46.42$

$P_{H}=25-55+46.42\ m$

$P_{H}=16.42\ m$

The pressure head at elevation of 55 m is 16.42 m.

Hence, this is the required solution.

You use 8x binoculars were used on a warbler (14cm long) in a tree 18cm away. What angle (in degrees) does the image of the warb

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

The angle it subtend on the retina is $\theta_z = 0.44586^o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the warbler is $L = 14cm = \frac{14}{100} = 0.14m$

The distance from the binoculars is $d = 18cm = \frac{18}{100} = 0.18m$

The magnification of the binoculars is $M =8$

Without the 8 X binoculars the angle made with the angular size of the object is mathematically represented as

$\theta = \frac{L}{d}$

$\theta = \frac{0.14}{0.18}$

$= 0.007778 rad$

Now magnification can be represented mathematically as

$M = \frac{\theta _z}{\theta}$

Where $\theta_z$ is the angle the image of the warbler subtend on your retina when the binoculars i.e the binoculars zoom.

So

$\theta_z = M * \theta$

=> $\theta_z =8 * 0.007778$

$= 0.0622222224$

Generally the conversion to degrees can be mathematically evaluated as

$\theta_z = 0.062222224 * (\frac{360 }{2 \pi rad} )$

$\theta_z = 0.44586^o$

Suppose you wish to whirl a pail full of water in a vertical circle at a constant speed without spilling any of its contents (ev

Yanka [14]

Answer:

V = 2.87 m/s

Explanation:

The minimum speed required would be that at which the acceleration due to gravity is negated by the centrifugal force on the water.

Thus, we simply need to set the centripetal acceleration equal to gravity and solve for the speed V using the following equation:

Centripetal acceleration = V^2 / r

where r is the distance of water from the pivot or shoulder.

For our case, r will be 0.65 + 0.19 = 0.84 m

and solving the above equation we get:

9.81 = V^2 / 0.84

V^2 = 8.2404

V = 2.87 m/s

In a jump spike, a volleyball player slams the ball from overhead and toward the opposite floor. Controlling the angle of the sp

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The ball would have landed 3.31m farther if the downward angle were 6.0° instead.

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must first start by doing a drawing that will represent the situation. (See picture attached).

We can see in the picture that the least the angle the farther the ball will go. So we need to find the A and B position to determine how farther the second shot would go. Let's start with point A.

So, first we need to determine the components of the velocity of the ball, like this:

$V_{Ax}=V_{A}cos\theta$

$V_{Ax}=(21m/s)cos(-14^{o})$

$V_{Ax}=20.38 m/s$

$V_{Ay}=V_{A}sin\theta$

$V_{Ay}=(21m/s)sin(-14^{o})$

$V_{Ay}=-5.08 m/s$

we pick the positive one, so it takes 0.317s for the ball to hit on point A.

so now we can find the distance from the net to point A with this time. We can find it like this:

$x_{A}=V_{Ax}t$

$x_{A}=(20.38m/s)(0.317s)$

$x_{A}=6.46m$

Once we found the distance between the net and point A, we can similarly find the distance between the net and point B:

$V_{Bx}=20.88 m/s$

$V_{By}=-2.195 m/s$

$y_{Bf}=y_{B0}+V_{0}t-\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$

$0=2.1m+(-2.195m/s)t-\frac{1}{2}(-9.8m/s^{2})t^{2}$

$-4.9t^{2}-2.195t+2.1=0$

$t=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

$t=\frac{-(-2.195)\pm\sqrt{(-2.195)^{2}-4(-4.9)(2.1)}}{2(-4.9)}$

t= -0.9159s or t=0.468s

we pick the positive one, so it takes 0.468s for the ball to hit on point B.

so now we can find the distance from the net to point B with this time. We can find it like this:

$x_{B}=V_{Bx}t$

$x_{B}=(20.88m/s)(0.468s)$

$x_{B}=9.77m$

So once we got the two distances we can now find the difference between them:

$x_{B}-x_{A}=9.77m-6.46m=3.31m$

so the ball would have landed 3.31m farther if the downward angle were 6.0° instead.
