A boat crossing a river with width "d", moves with a constant speed "u" normal to the other shore. The flow rate of the river is zero at shores, while reaches its maximum "v0"in the middle from either shore. It is known that the flow rate increases in proportion from the shore to the middle. What will be the trajectory of the boat? The answer only needs to be a formula. A sufficient amount of information has been given.

You hold a hose at waist height and spray water horizontally with it. The hose nozzle has a diameter of 1.80 cm, and the water splashes on the ground a distance of 0.950 m horizontally from the nozzle. If you constrict the nozzle to a diameter of 0.750 cm, how far from the nozzle, horizontally, will the water travel before it hits the ground?
A thin stream of water flows smoothly from a faucet and falls straight down. At one point, the water is flowing at a speed of ?1=1.07 m/s. At a lower point, the diameter of the stream has decreased by a factor of 0.877. What is the vertical distance ℎh between these two points?
Water runs into a fountain, filling all the pipes, at a steady rate of 7.53×10−2 m3/s. How fast will it shoot out of a hole 4.49 cm in diameter? At what speed will it shoot out if the diameter of the hole is three times as large?
If a person blows air at a speed of 15m / s, passing through the top of one of the branches of a U-tube containing water, what will be the difference in level between the two sides of this tube?
It took a crew 1h 12min to row 1km upstream and back again. If the rate of flow of the stream was 2km/h, what was the rowing speed of the crew in still water?
Each second, 0.07 m^3 of water flows through a firehose. If the water is to leave the nozzleat a speed of 25 m/s, what should its diameter be?
When a hose is at a height of 2mabove level ground, the stream of water hits the ground a distance of 6m from the end of the hose, as shown in the figure. If the end of the hose is moved to 4m above the ground, about how far will the stream travel before hitting the ground? What if it is still at 2m but the nozzle of the hose is half the diameter?
Consider the manometer in Fig. P2–61. If the specific weight of fluid B is 20 kN/m3, what is the absolute pressure, in kPa, indicated by the manometer when the local atmospheric pressure is 720 mmHg?
Is it possible for water to have an angle of contact as high as 160 degree ? If so, when?
Water flows through the spillway of the dam as shown in the figure. between point (1) and point (2) Ignoring the loss and assuming the unit width, the width is the difference between the average flow velocity V1 at point (1) and point (2). What is the average flow velocity V2, respectively?
When a pilot takes a tight turn at high speed in a modern fighter airplane, the blood pressure at the brain level decreases, blood no longer perfuses the brain, and the blood in the brain drains. If the heart maintains the (hydrostatic) gauge pressure in the aorta at 120 torr (or mm Hg) when the pilot undergoes a horizontal centripetal acceleration of 4g, what is the blood pressure (in torr) at the brain, 30 cm radially inward from the heart? The perfusion in the brain is small enough that the vision switches to black and white and narrows to “tunnel vision” and the pilot can undergo g-LOC (“ginduced loss of consciousness”). Blood density is 1.06 * 10^3 kg/m3
Air flows horizontally with a speed of 105 km/h over a house that has a flat roof of area 21.5 m2. Find the magnitude of the net force on the roof due to the air inside and outside the house. The density of air is 1.30 kg/m3, and the thickness of the roof is negligible.
