Show your solution to prove your answer Choices: zero same as the flow rate in the 4"-diameter pipe less than the flow rate in the 4"-diameter pipe greater than the flow rate in the 4"-diameter pipe Please answer with complete and detailed solution. ASAP. Thank youarrow_forward. A proposed elevated tank for a certain community has a diameter of 72 inches and a height of 8.930 feet. It is to draw water by a pump from an aquifer down below the ground. Two steel hoops, 24.4 in2 in cross section, are installed around the tank, one at the bottom and one at the top, to prevent the bursting of the tank by the water pressure inside. (Use unit weight of water, water = 62.4 lb/ft3 ) a) Compute the internal stress at the bottom of the tank (in psf). b) Determine the tensile stress at the top (in psi). c) Determine the tensile stress at the bottom (in psi).arrow_forwardYour roommate (not an engineering major) decides to display his aquarium on a shelf mounted to the wall. Even though you offer to help him find and use the wall studs, he decides to use two plastic drywall inserts (one for each shelf mount) and attach the shelf to the drywall as shown below. The mass of the board he uses as a shelf is 1.40 kg, the aquarium has a mass of 2.15 kg and is the same width and length as the shelf, the shelf brackets are essentially weightless, and the information on the pack of drywall mounts claims that they can withstand a force of 57.5 N before they are pulled from the drywalI. After getting the aquarium set up, your roommate runs a hose from the kitchen sink, starts to fill the aquarium, and you get all your books and papers off the floor. If water enters the tank at the rate of 0.24 kg/s, how long can water run into the tank before the drywall inserts fail? S S. s, = 10.0 cm s,= 20.0 cm = 25.0 cm F S2arrow_forward
- Water enters a one-inch diameter pipe at a pressure of 45 psi. Calculate the velocity of the water flowing through the pipe.arrow_forwardConsider the three pipes shown below in cross section. From left to right, they contain water, mercury, and gasoline. All pipes are open to the atmosphere whose temperature is 68°F. There is no flow, and all pipes are horizontal with a centerline elevation at z = 0 ft. The water rises to Zw=10.0 ft; the mercury rises to zw= 1.00 ft; the gasoline rises to zw = 10.0 ft. Part A What is the gage pressure in the most highly pressurized pipe? [lb/ft²] Part B Now consider the modified picture below. The fluids, pipes, elevations and temperature are all the same as in Part A, but now the top of each tube is sealed. There is no air in the system, so only water vapor exists above the water surface, only mercury vapor above the mercury surface, and only gasoline vapor above the gasoline surface. What is the absolute pressure in the most highly pressurized pipe? [lb/ft2] Hint: Use the Fluid Properties Tables on Canvas (Week 1).arrow_forwardA gallon of water weighs 8.34 pounds.
