Chapter 13, Problem 64GP
An industrial waste tank contains a layer of less-dense fluid floating on a layer of more-dense fluid. An engineer measures the gauge pressure at various depths in the tank. The data are given in the table:
Depth (m) | Gauge pressure (kPa) |
0.2 | 1.96 |
0.5 | 4.90 |
0.8 | 7.84 |
1.0 | 9.80 |
1.4 | 38.4 |
1.7 | 78.4 |
2.1 | 132 |
Make a plot of gauge pressure as function of depth. Draw best-fit lines for the linear portions of your plot. (a) From the lines determine the thickness of the upper layer. (b) What are the two fluids?

- 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.arrow_forwardThe pressure at the bottom of a glass filled with water ( = 1 000 kg/m3) is P. The water is poured out and the glass is filled with ethyl alcohol ( = 806 kg/m3). The pressure at the bottom of the glass is now (a) smaller than P (b) equal to P (c) larger than P (d) indeterminate.arrow_forwardFigure 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 P15.52arrow_forward

- A fire hose has an inside diameter of 6.40 cm. Suppose such a hose carries a flow of 40.0 LIS starting at a gauge pressure of 1.62106 N/m2. The hose goes 10.0 m up a ladder to a nozzle having an inside diameter of 3.00 cm. Calculate the Reynolds numbers for flow in the fire hose and nozzle to show that the flow in each must be turbulent.arrow_forwardThe weight of a rectangular block of low-density material is 15.0 N. With a thin string, the center of the horizontal bottom face of the block is tied to the bottom of a beaker partly filled with water. When 25.0% of the blocks volume is submerged, the tension in the string is 10.0 N. (a) Find the buoyant force on the block. (b) Oil of density 800 kg/m3 is now steadily added to the beaker, forming a layer above the water and surrounding the block. The oil exerts forces on each of the four sidewalls of the block that the oil touches. What are the directions of these forces? (c) What happens to the string tension as the oil is added? Explain how the oil has this effect on the string tension. (d) The string breaks when its tension reaches 60.0 N. At this moment, 25.0% of the blocks volume is still below the water line. What additional fraction of the blocks volume is below the top surface of the oil?arrow_forward
