Question

(a) A water hose 4.00 cm in diameter is used to fill a 21.0 L bucket. If it takes 3.00 min to fill the bucket, what is the speed v at which water moves through the hose? (Note: 1 L = 1000 cm3.) cm/s (b) The hose has a nozzle 2.00 cm in diameter. Find the speed of the water at the nozzle. cm/s

Also, A plastic sphere floats in water with 30.0% of its volume submerged. This same sphere floats in an unknown fluid with 23.9% of its volume submerged. Determine the densities of the sphere and the unknown fluid. sphere kg/m3 fluid kg/m3

Explanation / Answer

(a) d1 =4 cm , r1 =2 cm, t =3 min

Volume V = 21 L = 21x1000 cm^3

Volume flow rate V/t = (21x1000)/(3x60) = 116.67 cm^3/s

Volume flow rate =A1v1

v1 = (V/t)/A1 = 116.67/(3.14x2x2) =9.289 cm/s

(b) d2 = 2cm , r2 = 1cm

Volume flow rate is constant A1v1 =A2v2

v2 = (A1/A2)v1 = (r1/r2)2v1 = (2/1)2(9.289)

v2 = 37.156 cm/s

Density o water dw = 1000 kg/m^3

From buoyancy force

weight of displaced WATER= weight of submerged sphere in water

dw(0.3V)g = ds (V)g

ds = (1000*0.3) =300 kg/m^3

weight of displaced LIQUID = weight of submerged sphere in LIQUID

dl(0.239V)g = ds (V)g

dl = (300)/0.239

dl = 1255.23 kg/m^3
