Plz answer I will rate !:) A right circular cylindrical tank with its circular base on the ground is full of water. The diameter of the base is 4m and the height of the tank is 4m. Set up a Riemann sum to approximate the hydro static force against the lateral wall of the tank. Then express the force as an integral and evaluate it.
(Just Question a.) A water filled pipe has water flowing at v1= 5.90 m/s in a section of pipe where the diameter is d1= 20.2 cm and the pressure is known to be P1= 7.00×104 N/m2 above atmospheric pressure. If the pipe carries the water 3.5 meters up hill without any change in diameter, what is the new absolute pressure within the pipe? After flowing up the hill described above, the pipe narrows to 80% of its original radius, what will be the new water velocity (v2) in the pipe? What will be the absolute pressure (P3) in the smaller pipe? a. What is the volume flow rate through the smaller pipe?
