As a means of fire protection, an amusement park has a large cylindrical tank with an open top. Water exits the tank through a 6.15 cm diameter hose which ends with a 2.10 cm diameter tap. If a plug is inserted into the tap and the water level in the tank is kept 7.50 m above the tap, determine the following.
(a) force of friction (in N) exerted by the tap on the plug
(b) mass of water (in kg) that will flow through the tap in 2.00 hr, if the plug is removed
(c) gauge pressure (in Pa) of the flowing water in the hose just behind the tap

the water level. If the rate of flow from the leak is equal 16.0 m below 2.50 X 10-3 m3/min, determine (a) the speed the water leaves the hole and (b) the diameter of the hole. to at which A village maintains a large tank with an open top, contain- ing water for emergencies. The water can drain from the tank through a hose of diame ter 6.60 cm. The hose ends with a nozzle of diameter 2.20 cm. A...
Question 3 (a) Water flows through a horizontal pipeline of constant 400 mm diameter in a water treatment plant. The pipe bends through a 70° angle. In order to design a thrust block for the bend, calculate the magnitude and line of action of the force exerted by the water on the pipe. The discharge through the pipe is 0.4 m/s. The water pressure at the inlet is equivalent to 22 m head of water. [10 marks] (b) Oil of...
