Question

13. [1pt]
Water is flowing in a straight horizontal pipe of variable cross section. Where the cross-sectional area of the pipe is 4.6X 10-2m2, the pressure is 2.10 X 105 Pa and the velocity is 0.66 m/s. In a constricted region where the area is 7.00X 10-4m2, what is the velocity?

ANSWER: 4.34E+01 m/s

What is the pressure (in Pa)? (Assume an ideal fluid)

Answer:

During high winds, the atmospheric pressure inside a house may blow off the roof because of the reduced pressure outside. Calculate the force on a square roof of side 22.0 m if the wind speed over the roof is 31.0 m/s.

Answer:  

Explanation / Answer

(13)

From equation of continuityA1v1 = A2v2

v2 = A1v1/ A2

v2 = (4.6*10^-2 m^2)(0.66) / (7.0*10^-4m^2)

v2 = 4.34810^1 m/s

Use Bernoulli's equation to calculate pressure

P1 + (1/2)(r)v1^2 =P2 + (1/2)(r)v2^2

where r is density of water

P2=P1 + (1/2)(r)v1^2 - (1/2)(r)v2^2

P2= -7.3*10^5 Pa

(15)

The difference in pressure is

P = (1/2)(1.29 kg/m^3)(31 m/s)^2 = 619.8 Pa

The force acting on the roof is

F = PA

F = (619.8 Pa)(22 m * 22m)

F = 3.0*10^5 N
