Question
You’re holding a hose at waist height and spraying water horizontally with it. The hose nozzle has a diameter of 1.80 cm, and the water splashes on the ground a distance of 0.970 m horizontally from the nozzle. Suppose you now constrict the nozzle to a diameter of 0.750 cm; how far horizontally from the nozzle will the water travel before hitting the ground? (Ignore air resistance.)

- A firefighter mounts the nozzle of his fire hose a distance 32.1 m away from the edge of a burning building so that it sprays from ground level at a 45° angle above the horizontal. After quenching a hotspot at a height of 9.33 m, the firefighter adjusts the nozzle diameter so that the water hits the building at a height of 17.5 m. By what factor was the nozzle diameter changed? Assume that the flow rate of water through the hose stays the same, and treat the water as an ideal fluid. factor by which the hose diameter changed:arrow_forwardA thin stream of water flows smoothly from a faucet and falls straight down. At one point, the water is flowing at a speed of ?1=1.07 m/s . At a lower point, the diameter of the stream has decreased by a factor of 0.787 . What is the vertical distance ℎbetween these two points?arrow_forwardA tank in the form of a right-circular cylinder of radius 0.4 m and height 3 m is standing on end. When water leaks through a hole, friction and contraction of the stream near the hole reduce the volume of the water leaving the tank per second to CA,√2gh. If the tank is initially full of water, and water leaks from a circular hole of radius 17.5 mm at its bottom, determine a differential equation for the height h of the water at time t. Ignore friction and contraction of water at the hole, that is let c = 1. (Assume the acceleration due to gravity g is 9.8 m/s².

- Problem 3: Water flows through a horizontal cylindrical pipe from a smaller-diameter region to a larger-diameter region. At point A, where the pipe's diameter is 3.5 cm, the water's speed at 25.0 m/s. At point B, the pipe's diameter is 7.0 cm. (a) What is the water's speed at point B? (b) What is the pressure difference between points A and B? Which point has the greater pressure?arrow_forwardYou are constructing a new wearable artificial kidney to filter blood. The blood enters the machine at a flow rate of 5 cm3/sec and is spread out over a total cross sectional area of 5000 cm2. The velocity (speed) of the blood within the artificial kidney can be calculated as um/sec (NOTE: 1 cm = 104 um).arrow_forwardSuppose you have a 8.8 cm diameter fire hose with a 3.6 cm diameter nozzle. a) Calculate the pressure drop due to the Bernoulli effect as water enters the nozzle from the hose at the rate of 40.0 L/s. Take 1.00 × 103 kg/m3 for the density of the water. b) To what maximum height, in meters, above the nozzle can this water rise? (The actual height will be significantly smaller due to air resistance.arrow_forward

Consider a circular pipe of internal diameter 21 cm and a torpedo model aligned along the long axis of the pipe. The model has a 5.7 cm diameter and is to be tested with water flowing past it at 2.7 m/s. (a) With what speed must the water flow in the part of the pipe that is unconstricted by the model?
