A construction equipment accident cut the pipe bend shown. Gasoline (S = 0.75) discharges to the...
5.26 A nozzle is attached to a vertical pipe and discharges water into the atmosphere as shown in Fig. P5.26. When the discharge is 0.1 m/s, the gage pressure at the flange is 40 kPa. Determine the vertical component of the anchoring force required to hold the nozzle in place. The nozzle has a weight of 200 N, and the volume of water in the nozzle is 0.012 mº. Is the anchoring force directed upward or downward? 300 Area =...
A reducing pipe bend is held in place by a pedestal as shown. There are expansion joints at sections 1 and 2, so no force is transmitted through the pipe past these sections. The pressure at section 1 is 20 psig, and the rate of flow of water (p=1.94 slug/ft3) is 2 cfs. Find the forces in the x and y directions and the moment M that must be applied at the pedestal to hold the bend stationary. A top...
1. Atall cylindrical tank, held above ground on stilts, is partially filled with water. (See top figure). The tank has a diameter, D. At time equal to zero, a hole of diameter d is poked in the bottom of the tank, where d<< D. Let z-0 correspond to the bottom of the tank. The initial fluid height is za. Had Use Bernoulli equation to assess the velocity of the fluid as it leaves the bottom of the tank as a...
