You need to siphon water from a clogged sink. The sink has an area of 0.48 m2 and is filled to a height of 4.0 cm. Your siphon tube rises 50 cm above the bottom of the sink and then descends a distance h = 70 cm to a pail as shown in the figure. The siphon tube has a diameter of 1.6 cm.

You need to siphon water from a clogged sink. The sink has an area of 0.48 m2 and is filled to a height of 4.0 cm. Your siphon tube rises 50 cm above the bottom of the sink and then descends a distance h = 70 cm to a pail as shown in the figure. The siphon tube has a diameter of 1.6 cm. Assuming that the water level in the sink has almost zero velocity, estimate its velocity when it enters the pail. Estimate how long it will take to empty the sink. s

Explanation / Answer

Volume of water in sink = (0.48)(0.04) = 0.0192 m
