query introset plug of water from cylinder given gauge pressure, c-s hole area, length of plug.

Explain how we can determine the velocity of exiting water, given the pressure difference between inside and outside, by considering a plug of known cross-sectional area and length?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

The volume of the plug is A * L so its mass is rho * A * L.

Thus we have mass rho * A * L with KE equal to P * A * L. v = sqrt( 2 P / rho).

** The net force on the plug is P * A, where A is its cross-sectional area and P the pressure difference.

If L is the length of the plug then the net force P * A acts thru dist L doing work P * A * L. If init vel is 0 and there are no dissipative forces, this is the kinetic energy attained by the plug.

The volume of the plug is A * L so its mass is rho * A * L.

Thus we have mass rho * A * L with KE equal to P * A * L.

Setting .5 m v^2 = KE we have .5 rho A L v^2 = P A L so that v = sqrt( 2 P / rho). **

The density of air at common atmospheric temperature and pressure it about 1.3 kg / m^3.

The volume of the room is 4.8 m * 3.8 m * 2.8 m = 51 m^3, approximately. The mass of the air in this room is therefore

mass = density * volume = 1.3 kg / m^3 * 51 m^3 = 66 kg, approximately.

This is a medium-sized room, and the mass is close to the average mass of a medium-sized person.

ok i get it. I couldnt locate the problem in my book.

The density of blood is close to that of water, 1000 kg / m^3. So the pressure difference corresponding to a height difference of 1.6 m is

pressure difference = rho g h = 1000 kg/m^3 * 9.80 m/s^2 * 1.60 m = 15600 kg / ( m s^2) = 15600 (kg m / s^2) / m^2 = 15600 N / m^2, or 15600 Pascals.

1 mm of mercury is 133 Pascals, so 15,600 Pa = 15,600 Pa * ( 1 mm of Hg / 133 Pa) = 117 mm of mercury.

Blood pressures are measured in mm of mercury; e.g. a blood pressure of 120 / 70 stands for a systolic pressure of 120 mm of mercury and a diastolic pressure of 70 mm of mercury.

** The volume of the balloon is about 4/3 pi r^3 = 1660 cubic meters and mass of air displaced is about 1.3 kg / m^3 * 1660 m^3 = 2160 kg.

The buoyant force is equal in magnitude to the force of gravity on the displaced air, or about 2160 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 20500 Newtons, approx.. If the total mass of the balloon, including helium, is 930 kg then the net force is about

buoyant force - weight = 20,500 N - 9100 N = 11,400 N

If the 930 kg doesn't include the helium we have to account also for the force of gravity on its mass. At about .18 kg/m^3 the 1660 m^3 of helium will have mass about 300 kg on which gravity exerts an approximate force of 2900 N, so the net force on the balloon would be around 11,400 N - 2900 N = 8500 N approx.

The mass that can be supported by this force is m = F / g = 8500 N / (9.8 m/s^2) = 870 kg, approx.. **

** At the interface the pressure is that of the atmosphere plus 15 cm of water, or 1 atm + 1000 kg/m^3 * 9.8 m/s^2 * .15 m = 1 atm + 1470 Pa.

The 15 cm of water above the water-mercury interface must be balanced by the mercury above this level on the other side. Since mercury is 13.6 times denser than water there must therefore be 15 cm / (13.6) = 1.1 cm of mercury above this level on the other side. This leaves the top of the water column at 15 cm - 1.1 cm = 13.9 cm above the mercury-air interface.

}

Here's an alternative solution using Bernoulli's equation, somewhat more rigorous and giving a broader context to the solution:

Comparing the interface between mercury and atmosphere with the interface between mercury and water we see that the pressure difference is 1470 Pa. Since velocity is zero we have P1 + rho g y1 = P2 + rho g y2, or

rho g (y1 - y2) = P2 - P1 = 1470 Pa.

Thus altitude difference between these two points is

y1 - y2 = 1470 Pa / (rho g) = 1470 Pa / (13600 kg/m^2 * 9.8 m/s^2) = .011 m approx. or about 1.1 cm.

The top of the mercury column exposed to air is thus 1.1 cm higher than the water-mercury interface. Since there are 15 cm of water above this interface the top of the water column is

15 cm - 1.1 cm = 13.9 cm

higher than the top of the mercury column.

NOTE BRIEF SOLN BY STUDENT:

Using Bernoullis Equation we come to:

'rho*g*y1='rho*g*y2

1*10^3*9.8*.15 =13.6*10^3*9.8*y2

y2=.011 m

h=y1-y2

h=.15-.011=.139m

h=13.9cm. **

I think you're OK here, but I'm not getting all the information from the program.

&#To run the program correctly you click on the Next Question/Solution button (top left), enter your response in the Answer box (the box at top right), click on the Enter Response button (above the top right box), then again on the Next Question/Solution botton (top left) to see the solution, and finally enter your response or self-critique in the Answer box and click on Enter Response.

You then start the process over with the next question, clicking on the Next Question/Solution button at top left, etc.

On your Assignments Page you will find 'open' versions of the qa's and queries. The typical note at the end of an assignment reads

'When you have completed the entire assignment run query_****.exe and submit the SEND file it creates using the Submit Work Form Alternatively you may use the open query for this assignment. If you intend to use the 'open query' then you should first review the document Using Queries and Qa's as a Learning Tool.'

An 'open' query or qa is just a webpage you can open and copy into a word processor. It contains the same content as the q****.exe program you have been running, but the information is better-formattedand you don't have to click buttons or find the SEND file. You simply insert your answers into this document and don't have to worry about which button to click, where to look for the SEND files, etc.. When you are finished you submit a copy of the document using the Submit Work Form.

The document 'Using Queries and Qa's as a Learning Tool' explains how to approach the 'open' queries and qa's in a way that provides maximum benefit.

The 'open' qa is similarly linked at the beginning of the assignment.
