Consider two identical dams with the exception that the water reservoir behind dam A extendstwice the horizontal distance behind it as that of dam B. Which one of the following statementsregarding these dams is correct?A) The force exerted by the water on dam A is greater than that on dam B.B) The force excrted by the water on dam B is greater than that on dam A.C) Dam A is more likely to collapse than dam B if the water level rises.D) Dam B is more likely to collapse than dam A if the water level rises.E) The horizontal distance of the water behind the two dams does not determine the force on them Heat is added to a substance, but its temperature does not rise. Which one of the followingstatements provides the best explanation for this observation?A) The substance must be a non-perfct solid.B) The substance undergoes a change of phase.C) The substance has unusual thermal propertics.D) The substance must be cooler than its environment.E) The substance must be a gas.F) The substance must be water

A large storage tank with an open top is filled to a height h0. The tank is punctured at a height h above the bottom of the tank (Fig. P15.39). Find an expression for how far from the tank the exiting stream lands. Figure P15.39
Water emerges straight down from a faucet with a 1.80-cm diameter at a speed of 0.500 m/s. (Because of the construction of the faucet, there is no variation in speed across the stream.) (a) What is flow rate in cm3/s? (b) What is the diameter of the stream 0.200 m below the faucet? Neglect any effects due to surface tension.
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.
(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?
Two pipes of equal and constant diameter leave a water pumping and dump water cut of open end that is open to the atmosphere (see the following figure).
