Discharge from a Fire Hose The discharge from a fire hose depends on the diameter of the nozzle. Nozzle diameters are normally in multiples of
a. A nozzle of what diameter has the same discharge capacity as three combined nozzles of diameters
b. We have two 1-inch nozzles and wish to use third so that the combined discharge capacity of the three nozzles is the same as the discharge capacity of a
c. If we wish to use n hoses, each with nozzle size d, in order to have the combined discharge capacity of a single hose with nozzle size D, then we must use
How many half-inch nozzles are needed to attain the discharge capacity of a 2-inch nozzle?
d. We want to replace a nozzle of diameter

- The opposition to current in an electrical circuit is called its impedance. The impedance z in a parallel circuit with two pathways satisfies the equation 1z=1z1+1z2 where z1 is the impedance (in ohms) of pathway 1 and z2 is the impedance (in ohms) of pathway 2. (a) The impedance of each pathway in a parallel circuit is found by adding the impedances of all components in the pathway. Use the table to find z1 and z2 (b) Find the impedance z.arrow_forwardThe Skydiver Again When a skydiver jumps from an airplane, her downward velocity, n feet per second, before she opens her parachute is given by = 176 1 0.834t, where t is the number of seconds that have elapsed since she jumped from the airplane. We found earlier that the terminal velocity for the skydiver is 176 feet per second. How long does it take for her to reach 90 of terminal velocity?arrow_forward4. (a) In your pocket you have some nickels, dimes, and quarters. There are 20 coins altogether and exactly twice as many dimes as nickels. The total value of the coins is $3.00. Find the number of coins of each type. (b) Find all possible combinations of 20 coins (nickels, dimes, and quarters) that will make exactly $3.00.arrow_forward
