Water is circulating through a closed system of pipes in a two-floor apartment. On the first floor, the water has a gauge pressure of 3.1 105 Pa and a speed of 2.4 m/s. However, on the second floor, which is 3.8 m higher, the speed of the water is 3.6 m/s. The speeds are different because the pipe diameters are different. What is the gauge pressure of the water on the second floor? Number Units Pa

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?
Water flows through a pipe that gradually descends from a height of 6.78 m to the ground. Near the top, the cross-sectional area is 0.400 m2, and the pipe gradually widens so that its area near the ground is 0.800 m2. Water leaves the pipe at a speed of 16.8 m/s. What is the difference in the water pressure between the top and bottom of the pipe?
Figure P15.47 shows a stream of water in steady flow from a kitchen faucet. At the faucet, the diameter of the stream is 0.960 cm. The stream fills a 125-cm3 container in 16.3 s. Find the diameter of the stream 13.0 cm below the opening of the faucet. Figure P15.47
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?
How tall must a water-filled manometer be to measure blood pressures as high as 300 mm Hg?
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
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.
Fluid originally flows through a tube at a rate of 100 cm3/s. To illustrate the sensitivity of flow rate to various factors, calculate the new flow rate for the following changes with all other factors remaining the same as in the original conditions. (a) Pressure difference increases by a factor of 1.50. (b) A new fluid with 3.00 times greater viscosity is substituted. (c) The tube is replaced by one having 4.00 times the length. (d) Another tube is used with a radius 0.100 times the original. (e) Yet another tube is substituted with a radius 0.100 times the original and half the length, and the pressure difference is increased by a 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.
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
