The owner of the gas station wants to bury the gasoline so deep that no vacuum pump will be able to extract it. He has hired a general contractor to dig the holes for the tanks. What is the minimum gasoline surface depth h, needed to prevent siphoning by any pump? Assume the specific gravity of gasoline is 0.712 and that the tank is not sealed. (You can ignore the drop rate of the gasoline level inside of the tank.) h2 = 47.6 ft The gas station owner balks at the contractor's estimate. He neither has the funds nor approval from the city to dig that deeply. However, the contractor tels him that the best a thief could hope to have at his disposal is a 194-mbar vacuum pump. Anything better would be enormously expensive. Given this information, how deep h2 would the gasoline have to sit below the surface to keep it safe from thieves?

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.
A submarine is stranded on the bottom of the ocean with its hatch 25.0 m below surface. Calculate force needed to open the hatch from the inside, given it is circular and 0.450 m in diameter. Air pressure inside the submarine is 1.00 atm.
Water is moving at a velocity of 2.00 m/s through a hose with 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?
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.
Why is it difficult to swim under water in the Great Salt Lake?
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
The left ventricle of a resting adult's heart pumps blood at a flow rate of 83.0 cm3/s , increasing its pressure by 110 mm Hg, its speed from zero to 30.0 cm/s, and its height by 5.00 cm. (All cumbers are averaged over the entire heartbeat) Calculate the total power output of left ventricle. Note that most of the power is used to increase blood pressure.
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.
Liquid toxic waste with a density of 1752 kg/m3 is flowing through a section of pipe with a radius of 0.312 m at a velocity of 1.64 m/s. a. What is the velocity of the waste after it goes through a constriction and enters a second section of pipe with a radius of 0.222 m? b. If the waste is under a pressure of 850,000 Pa in the first section of pipe, what is the pressure in the second (constricted) section of pipe?
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 U-tube open at both ends is partially filled with water (Fig. P15.67a). Oil having a density 750 kg/m3 is then poured into the right arm and forms a column L = 5.00 cm high (Fig. P15.67b). (a) Determine the difference h in the heights of the two liquid surfaces. (b) The right arm is then shielded from any air motion while air is blown across the top of the left arm until the surfaces of the two liquids are at the same height (Fig. P15.67c). Determine the speed of the air being blown across the left arm. Take the density of air as constant at 1.20 kg/m3.
(a) What is the pressure drop due to the Bernoulli effect as water goes into a 3.00-cm-diameter nozzle from a 9.00-cm-diameter fire hose while carrying a flow of 40.0 L/S? (b) To what maximum height above the nozzle can this water rise? (The actual height will be significantly smaller due to air resistance.)
