A rowboat floats in a swimming pool, and the level of the water at the edge of the pool is marked. Consider the following situations. (i) The boat is removed from the water. (ii) The boat in the water holds an iron anchor which is removed from the boat and placed on the shore. For each situation, the level of the water will,
(a) Rise.
(b) Fall.
(c) Stay the same.
A beaker of water rests on an electronic balance that reads 975.0 g. A 2.6-cm-diameter solid copper ball attached to a string is submerged in the water, but does not touch the bottom. What are the tension in the string and the new balance reading?
How high should the pressure head be if water is to come from a faucet at a speed of \({\bf{9}}{\bf{.2\;m/}}{{\bf{s}}^{\bf{2}}}\) Ignore viscosity.
Water at a gauge pressure of \({\bf{3}}{\bf{.8}}\;{\bf{atm}}\) at street level flows into an office building at a speed of \({\bf{0}}{\bf{.78}}\;{\bf{m/s}}\) through a pipe \({\bf{5}}{\bf{.0}}\;{\bf{cm}}\)in diameter. The pipe tapers down to \({\bf{2}}{\bf{.8}}\;{\bf{cm}}\) in diameter by the top floor, \({\bf{16}}\;{\bf{m}}\) above (Fig. 10–53), where the faucet has been left open. Calculate the flow velocity and the gauge pressure in the pipe on the top floor. Assume no branch pipes and ignore viscosity.
