Chapter 9: Problem 41

A garden hose of inner radius \(1.0 \mathrm{cm}\) carries water at $2.0 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} .\( The nozzle at the end has radius \)0.20 \mathrm{cm} .$ How fast does the water move through the nozzle?

Short Answer

Expert verified
Answer: The speed of the water through the nozzle is 25.0 m/s.

Step by step solution

01

Calculate the cross-sectional area of the hose and the nozzle

We can use the formula for the area of a circle to calculate the cross-sectional areas of both the hose and the nozzle by plugging in their respective radii. The area of the hose (\(A_{1}\)) is given by: $$ A_{1} = \pi r_{1}^2 $$ where \(r_1 = 1.0 \text{ cm}\) is the inner radius of the hose. The area of the nozzle (\(A_{2}\)) is given by: $$ A_{2} = \pi r_{2}^2 $$ where \(r_2 = 0.20 \text{ cm}\) is the inner radius of the nozzle.
02

Apply the principle of continuity

According to the principle of continuity, the product of the cross-sectional area and the speed of the fluid should remain constant in the hose and the nozzle. Let \(v_{1}\) be the speed in the hose, and \(v_{2}\) be the speed in the nozzle. $$ A_{1}v_{1} = A_{2}v_{2} $$
03

Plug in the given values and solve for \(v_{2}\)

We are given \(v_{1} = 2.0 \text{ m/s}\) and the inner radii of the hose and the nozzle. Plug in these values and the expressions for \(A_{1}\) and \(A_{2}\) and solve for \(v_{2}\): $$ (\pi r_{1}^2)v_{1} = (\pi r_{2}^2)v_{2} $$ Divide both sides by \(\pi\) and solve for \(v_{2}\): $$ v_{2} = \frac{r_{1}^2}{r_{2}^2}v_{1} $$ $$ v_{2} = \frac{(1.0 \text{ cm})^2}{(0.20 \text{ cm})^2}(2.0 \text{ m/s}) $$
04

Convert units and calculate the speed of the water through the nozzle

Convert the radii to meters before calculating \(v_{2}\): $$ v_{2} = \frac{(0.01 \text{ m})^2}{(0.002 \text{ m})^2}(2.0 \text{ m/s}) $$ Calculate the speed of the water through the nozzle: $$ v_{2} = 25.0 \text{ m/s} $$ The water moves through the nozzle at a speed of \(25.0 \text{ m/s}\).

When a mercury manometer is connected to a gas main, the mercury stands $40.0 \mathrm{cm}$ higher in the tube that is open to the air than in the tube connected to the gas main. A barometer at the same location reads $74.0 \mathrm{cm}\( Hg. Determine the absolute pressure of the gas in \)\mathrm{cm}$ Hg.
A viscous liquid is flowing steadily through a pipe of diameter \(D .\) Suppose you replace it by two parallel pipes, each of diameter \(D / 2,\) but the same length as the original pipe. If the pressure difference between the ends of these two pipes is the same as for the original pipe, what is the total rate of flow in the two pipes compared to the original flow rate?
A house with its own well has a pump in the basement with an output pipe of inner radius \(6.3 \mathrm{mm}\). Assume that the pump can maintain a gauge pressure of \(410 \mathrm{kPa}\) in the output pipe. A shower head on the second floor (6.7 \(\mathrm{m}\) above the pump's output pipe) has 36 holes, each of radius \(0.33 \mathrm{mm} .\) The shower is on "full blast" and no other faucet in the house is open. (a) Ignoring viscosity, with what speed does water leave the shower head? (b) With what speed does water move through the output pipe of the pump?
In a hydraulic lift, the radii of the pistons are \(2.50 \mathrm{cm}\) and $10.0 \mathrm{cm} .\( A car weighing \)W=10.0 \mathrm{kN}$ is to be lifted by the force of the large piston. (a) What force \(F_{\mathrm{a}}\) must be applied to the small piston? (b) When the small piston is pushed in by $10.0 \mathrm{cm},$ how far is the car lifted?(c) Find the mechanical advantage of the lift, which is the ratio \(W / F_{\mathrm{a}}\).
(a) What is the pressure difference required to make blood flow through an artery of inner radius \(2.0 \mathrm{mm}\) and length \(0.20 \mathrm{m}\) at a speed of \(6.0 \mathrm{cm} / \mathrm{s} ?\) (b) What is the pressure difference required to make blood flow at \(0.60 \mathrm{mm} / \mathrm{s}\) through a capillary of radius \(3.0 \mu \mathrm{m}\) and length \(1.0 \mathrm{mm} ?\) (c) Compare both answers to your average blood pressure, about 100 torr.
