Solve for the volume flow rate in m3/s. Express your answer in 3 decimal places.arrow_forwardA plugged dishwasher sink with the dimensions of 60 cm × 50 cm × 30 cm is being filled with water from a faucet with an inner diameter of 2.5 cm. If it takes 40 seconds to fill the sink to its rim, estimate the volumetric flow of water coming out of the faucet. What is the average velocity of water coming out of the faucet?arrow_forward
- An inverted conical container has a diameter of 39 inches and a depth of 22 inches. If water is flowing out of the vertex of the container at a rate of 39π in3/sec, how fast in in/sec is the depth of the water dropping when the height is 9 in? Express your answer in 3 decimal places.arrow_forward) Consider a double - fluid manometer attached to an air pipe shown in Figure. If the specific gravity of one fluid is 13.55, determine the specific gravity of the other fluid for the indicated absolute pressure of air. Take the atmospheric pressure to be 100 kPa. (arrow_forwardHow much water is stored after 5 minutes in each of the tanks on Example 9.5 (Page 303) if the volume of each tank is 14 cubic meters? Assume the density of water is 1000 kg/cubic meter. Note the intake for both tanks is 2 kg/sarrow_forward
- Imagine the water level in the tank described rises at a rate of 4 mm/s. Knowing the diameter of the tank is 240 mm, what is the average velocity of the water leaving the tank?arrow_forwardQ1(c) Water flows horizontally through a nozzle into the atmosphere under certain conditions, as shown in Figure Q1(c). Calculate: (i) Volume flow rate of water flowing through the nozzle in m3/s and L/s, respectively. (ii) Mass flow rate of water. (iii) Exit velocity at the outlet of the nozzle.arrow_forwardBased on the figure, calculate the magnitude of the horizontal and vertical components of the force that the fluid exerts on the curved surface. Also calculate the magnitude of the resulting force and its direction. The surface measures 5.00 feet in length.arrow_forward
- Water flows through a pipe 25 mm in diameter at a velocity of 6 m/s. Determine whether the flow will be laminar or turbulent assuming that the dynamic viscosity of water is taken as1.30 × 10−3 kg/ms and its mass density as 1000 kg/m3. If oil of specific gravity 0.9 and dynamic viscosity 9.6 × 10−2 kg/ms is pumped through the same pipe, what type of flow will occur?arrow_forwardWater is available at a rate of 400 gallons/min to a small apartment complex, consisting of four units.
