The circular stream of water from a faucet is observed to taper from a diameter of 20 mm to 10 mm in a distance of 50 cm. Determ

Solution:

From Bernoulli equation

$\frac{1}{2}$ ρ $V_{1}^{2}$ + ρgh = $\frac{1}{2}$ ρ $V_{2}^{2}$ , where ρ is density of water, h – height difference and $V_{1}$ and $V_{2}$ are the velocities in upper and lower cross sections correspondingly. We take into account that the pressure in both cross-sections is the same and equal to the atmospheric one.

From the continuity and assuming water incompressible:

$\pi r_{1}^{2}$ $V_{1}$ = $\pi r_{2}^{2}$ $V_{2}$ , where $A_{1}$ and $A_{2}$ are the corresponding cross-sections. As the lower diameter is twice as low as the upper one, we can conclude that $V_{1} = \frac{V_{2}}{4}$

Inserting it back into Bernoulli equations produces:

$V_{1} = \sqrt{\frac{2}{15}gh} = 0.26m/s$ and the flow rate is

$\pi r_{1}^{2}V_{1} = \pi r_{2}^{2}V_{2} = 8.10^{-5} \frac{m^{3} }{s}$

One number is five more than three times another. If their difference is 35, what is the larger number?

miv72 [106K]

Let x and y be the two unknown numbers. If one number, say x,is 5 more than 3 times another, say y, the equation would be

x = 5 + 3y

When their difference is 35, x-y = 35, since x is the much larger number here. We substitute x to solve for the smaller number, y.

x - y = 35
(5 + 3y) -y = 35
5 +2y = 35
2y = 35-5
2y = 30
y = 15

The larger number x would be
x = 5 + 3(15)
x = 50

The answer is 50.
