The gravitational force exerted on a solid object is 5.00 N. When the object is suspended from a spring scale and submerged in water, the scale reads 3.50 N (Fig. P15.24). Find the density of the object. Figure P15.24 Problems 24 and 25.
(a) Verify that a 19.0% decrease in laminar flow through a tube is caused by a 5.00% decrease in radius, assuming that all other factors remain constant. (b) What increase in flow is obtained from a 5.00% increase in radius, again assuming all other factors remain constant?
Water is moving at a velocity of 2.00 m/s through a hose with an internal diameter of 1.60 cm. (a) What is the flow rate in liters per second? (b) The fluid velocity in this hose's nozzle is 15.0 m/s. What is the nozzle's inside diameter?
Concrete is pumped from a cement mixer to the place it is being laid, instead of being carried in wheelbarrows. The flow rate is 200.0 L/min through a 50.0-m-long, 8.00-cm-diameter hose, and the pressure at the pump is 8.00106 N/m2. Verify that the flow of concrete is laminar taking concrete's viscosity to be 48.0 (N/m2) s, and given its density is 2300 kg/m3.
Fluid originally flows through a tube at a rate of 100 cm3/s. To illustrate the sensitivity of flow rate to various factors, calculate be new flow rate for following changes with all other factors remaining the same as in original conditions. (a) Pressure difference increases by a factor of 1.50. (b) A new fluid wit 3.00 times greater viscosity is substituted. (c) The tube is replaced by one having 4.00 times the length. (d) Another tube used with a 0.100 times the original. (e) Yet another tube is substituted with a radius 0.100 times the original and half length, and pressure difference is increased by factor of 1.50.
An oil gusher shoots crude oil 25.0 m into the air through a pipe with a 0.100-m diameter. Neglecting air resistance but not the resistance of the pipe, and assuming laminar flow, calculate the gauge pressure at the entrance of the 50.0-m-long vertical pipe. Take the density of the oil to be 900 kg/m3 and its viscosity to be 1.00 (N/m2) s (or 1.00 Pa s). Note that you must take into account the pressure due to the 50.0-m column of oil in the pipe.

A horizontal pipe 10.0 cm in diameter has a smooth reduction to a pipe 5.00 cm in diameter. If the pressure of the water in the larger pipe is 8.00 104 Pa and the pressure in the smaller pipe is 6.00 104 Pa, at what rate does water flow through the pipes?
An incompressible, nonviscous fluid is initially at rest in the vertical portion of the pipe shown in Figure P15.61a, where L = 2.00 m. When the valve is opened, the fluid flows into the horizontal section of the pipe. What is the fluids speed when all the fluid is in the horizontal section as shown in Figure P15.61b? Assume the cross-sectional area of the entire pipe is constant. Figure P15.61
Figure P15.52 shows a Venturi meter, which may be used to measure the speed of a fluid. It consists of a Venturi tube through which the fluid moves and a manometer used to measure the pressure difference between regions 1 and 2. The fluid of density tube moves from left to right in the Venturi tube. Its speed in region 1 is v1, and its speed in region 2 is v2. The necks cross-sectional area is A2, and the cross-sectional area of the rest of the tube is A1. The manometer contains a fluid of density mano. a. Do you expect the fluid to be higher on the left side or the right side of the manometer? b. The speed v2 of the fluid in the neck comes from measuring the difference between the heights (yR yL) of the fluid on the two sides of manometer. Derive an expression for v2 in terms of (yR yL), A1, A2, tube, and mano. FIGURE P15.52
