A drinking fountain shoots water about 12 cm up in the air from a nozzle of diameter 0.60 cm (Fig. 10–57). The pump at the base of the unit (1.1 m below the nozzle) pushes water into a 1.2-cm-diameter supply pipe that goes up to the nozzle. What gauge pressure does the pump have to provide? Ignore the viscosity; your answer will therefore be an underestimate. Nozzle Ț 12 cm 1.1 m Supply. pipe Pump FIGURE 10-57 Problem 93.

An oil gusher shoots crude 25.0 m the through a pipe with a 0.100-m diameter. Neglecting resistance but not resistance of the pipe, and assuming laminar flow, calculate pressure at be entrance of be 50.0-m-Iong vertical pipe. Take of the oil to be 900 kg/m3 and its viscosity to be 100(N/m2) s (or 1.00 Pa s). Note that you must take into account the pressure due to 50.0-m column of oil in pipe.

A sump pump (used to drain water from be basement of houses built below the water table) is draining a flooded basement at rate of 0.750 L/S, with an output pressure of 3.00105N/m2 . (a) The water enters a hose with a 3.00-cm inside diameter and rises 2.50 m above the pump. What is its pressure at this point? (b) The hose goes over the foundation wall, losing 0.500 m in height and widens to 4.00 cm in diameter. What is the pressure now? You may neglect frictional losses both parts of the problem.

A spherical particle falling at a terminal speed in a liquid must have the gravitational force balanced by the drag force the buoyant force.
