A fireboat is to fight fires at coastal areas by drawing seawater with a density of 1030 kg/m3 through a 10-cm-diameter pipe at

a rate of 0.04 m3/s and discharging it through a hose nozzle with an exit diameter of 5 cm. The total irreversible head loss of the system is 3 m, and the position of the nozzle is 3 m above sea level. For a pump efficiency of 70 percent, determine the required shaft power input to the pump and the water discharge velocity.

Answer:

50.93 m/s

199.5 kW

Explanation:

From the question, the nozzle exit diameter = 5 cm, Radius= diameter/2= 5cm/2= 2.5cm. we can convert it to metre for unit consistency= (2.5×0.01)=

0.025m

We can calculate the The cross sectional area of the nozzle as

A= πr^2

A= π ×0.025^2

= 1.9635 ×10^- ³ m²

From the question, the water is moving through the pipe at a rate of 0.1 m /s , then for the water to move through it at a seconds, it must move at

(0.1 / 1.9635 ×10^- ³ m²)

= 50.93 m/s

During the Operation of the pump, the Dynamic energy of the water= potential energy provided there is no loss during the Operation

mgh = 1/2mv²

We can make "h" subject of the formula, which is the height of required head of water

h = (1/2mv²)/mg

h= v² / 2g

h = 50.93² / (2 ×9.81)

h = 132.21m

From the question;

The total irreversible head loss of the system = 3 m,

the given position of nozzle = 3 m

the total head the pump needed=(The total irreversible head loss of the system + the position of the nozzle + required head of water )

=(3 + 3 + 132.21m)

=138.21m

mass of water pumped in a seconds can be calculated since we know that mass is a product of volume and density

Volume= 0.1m³

Density of sea water=1030 kg/m

(0.1 m^3× 1030)

= 103kg

We can calculate the Potential enegry, which is = mgh

= (103 ×9.81 × 138.21)

= 139651.5 Watts

= 139.65kW

To determine required shaft power input to the pump and the water discharge velocity

Energy= efficiency × power

But we are given efficiency of 70 percent, then

139651.5 Watts = 0.7P

=199502.18 Watts

P=199.5 kW

Therefore, the required shaft power input to the pump and the water discharge velocity is 199.5 kW

A wheel rotates about a fixed axis with a constant angular acceleration of 3.3 rad/s2. The diameter of the wheel is 21 cm. What

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

The the linear speed (in m/s) of a point on the rim of this wheel at an instant=0.418 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Angular acceleration, $\alpha=3.3 rad/s^2$

Diameter of the wheel, d=21 cm

Radius of wheel, $r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{21}{2}$ cm

Radius of wheel, $r=\frac{21\times 10^{-2}}{2} m$

1m=100 cm

Magnitude of total linear acceleration, a= $1.7 m/s^2$

We have to find the linear speed of a at an instant when that point has a total linear acceleration with a magnitude of 1.7 m/s2.

Tangential acceleration, $a_t=\alpha r$

$a_t=3.3\times \frac{21\times 10^{-2}}{2}$

$a_t=34.65\times 10^{-2}m/s^2$

Radial acceleration, $a_r=\frac{v^2}{r}$

We know that

$a=\sqrt{a^2_t+a^2_r}$

Using the formula

$1.7=\sqrt{(34.65\times 10^{-2})^2+(\frac{v^2}{r})^2}$

Squaring on both sides

we get

$2.89=1200.6225\times 10^{-4}+\frac{v^4}{r^2}$

$\frac{v^4}{r^2}=2.89-1200.6225\times 10^{-4}$

$v^4=r^2\times 2.7699$

$v^4=(10.5\times 10^{-2})^2\times 2.7699$

$v=((10.5\times 10^{-2})^2\times 2.7699)^{\frac{1}{4}}$

$v=0.418 m/s$

Hence, the the linear speed (in m/s) of a point on the rim of this wheel at an instant=0.418 m/s

A plank of length L=2.200 m and mass M=4.00 kg is suspended horizontally by a thin cable at one end and to a pivot on a wall at

baherus [9]

Hello!

Let's begin by doing a summation of torques, placing the pivot point at the attachment point of the rod to the wall.

$\Sigma \tau = 0$

We have two torques acting on the rod:
- Force of gravity at the center of mass (d = 0.700 m)

- VERTICAL component of the tension at a distance of 'L' (L = 2.200 m)

Both of these act in opposite directions. Let's use the equation for torque:
$\tau = r \times F$

Doing the summation using their respective lever arms:

$0 = L Tsin\theta - dF_g$

$dF_g = LTsin\theta$

Our unknown is 'theta' - the angle the string forms with the rod. Let's use right triangle trig to solve:

$tan\theta = \frac{H}{L}\\\\tan^{-1}(\frac{H}{L}) = \theta\\\\tan^{-1}(\frac{1.70}{2.200}) = 37.69^o$

Now, let's solve for 'T'.

$T = \frac{dMg}{Lsin\theta}$

Plugging in the values:
$T = \frac{(0.700)(4.00)(9.8)}{(2.200)sin(37.69)} = \boxed{20.399 N}$
