PHYSICS 111 Fluid dynamics and Static Fluid Review
CONCEPT CHECKER 1: . An open bottle is filled with a liquid which is flowing out trough a spigot located at the distance h below the surface of the liquid. What is the velocity of the liquid leaving the bottle? What theorem is this? (A) v = √��ℎ (B) 2 gh (C) 4 gh (D) ρgh (E)√ 2��ℎ
SOLUTION: E (E)√ 2��ℎ � Torricelli’s Theorem
WARM UP PROBLEM: Water runs through a water main of cross-sectional area 0. 4 m 2 with a velocity of 6 m/s. Calculate the velocity of the water in the pipe when the pipe tapers down to a crosssectional area of 0. 3 m 2
SOLUTION: Av= Av V 2 =. 4 /. 3 * 6 = 8 m/s
PRACTICE PROBLEM 1: Crew members attempt to escape from a damaged submarine 100. 0 m below the surface. What force must be applied to a pop-out hatch, which is 1. 25 m by 0. 600 m, to push it out at that depth? Assume that the air inside the submarine is at atmospheric pressure and that the density of the ocean water is 1025 kg/m 3
SOLUTION: Need to first figure out the pressure difference Pressure inside: � P= atmospheric pressure Pressure outside � P 2 = p 1 + dgh P 1 = atmospheric pressure H= 100 d= 1025 kg. m^3 � F=delta PA � F= (125)(9. 8)(100)(1. 25*. 600) = 7. 53 * 10^5 N
PROBLEM 2: A paperweight, when weighed in air, has a weight of w = 6. 90 N. When completely immersed in water, however, it has a weight of w 6 *u 1", = 4. 30 N. Find the density of the paperweight.
SOLUTION: Fb = Fwater – weight 6. 90 – 4. 30 = 2. 60 N W=mg � M=w/g = 6. 90 / 9. 81 =. 704 kg Fb = d. Vg � V= Fb/ dg = 2. 60 / 1*10^3 * 9. 81 = 2. 65 * 10 ^ -4 kg/m^3 � D = m/v =. 704 / 2. 65 * 10 ^-4 m^3 = 2. 65 * 10 ^3 kg/m^3
PRACTICE PROBLEM 3: Through a refinery, fuel ethanol is flowing in a pipe at a velocity of 1 m/s and a pressure of 101300 Pa. The refinery needs the ethanol to be at a pressure of 2 atm (202600 Pa) on a lower level. How far must the pipe drop in height in order to achieve this pressure? Assume the velocity does not change. (Hint: Use the Bernoulli equation. The density of ethanol is 789 kg/m 3 and gravity g is 9. 8 m/s 2. Pay attention to units!)
