A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 0.750 m/s leaves the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high and falls into a pool. (a) How far from the wall will the water land? Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?

You are working as an assistant to a landscape architect, who is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.91 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h 2.95 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (see the figure below). (a) The architect has asked you to determine if the space behind the waterfall will be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway. (Enter the maximum width, in meters, of a walkway behind the waterfall.) m (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. She asks you to design and build the model, with the important question being: how fast (in m/s) should the water flow in the channel in the model? m/s
A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 0.562 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h= 2.25 m high and falls into a pool (see figure) (a) how far from the wall will the water land? find m will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (Assume the water must land 2 m from the wall to provide adequate space for a person to walk beneath the waterfall) yes or no (b) to sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, one-seventeenth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model ? find m/s
A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 0.518 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.55 m high and falls into a pool (see figure). (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, one-seventeenth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?
The figure shows a stream of water flowing through a hole at depth h = 19.9 cm in a tank holding water to height H = 54.8 cm. (a) At what distance x does the stream strike the floor? (b) At what depth should a second hole be made to give the same value of x? (c) At what depth should a hole be made to maximize x? (a) Number i (b) Number (c) Number Units Units Units H
A thin stream of water flows smoothly from a faucet and falls straight down. At one point, the water is flowing at a speed of v1=1.63 m/s . At a lower point, the diameter of the stream has decreased by a factor of 0.769. What is the vertical distance h between these two points?
The leaves of a tree lose water to the atmosphere via the process of transpiration. A particular tree loses water at the rate of 3 × 10-8 m3/s; this water is replenished by the upward flow of sap through vessels in the trunk. This tree’s trunk contains about 2000 vessels, each 100 μm in diameter. What is the speed of the sap flowing in the vessels?
A fire truck raises its bucket so that a firefighter can spray water on the fire from above. The building sits on a large property. The truck must park far away 33.0 meters. The bucket carrying the firefighter holding the hose can be raised to a height of 9.00 meters. Water leaves the hose T 20.0 m/s. If the hose is held so that it sprays water horizontally from this height is the water able to reach the house?
The figure shows a stream of water flowing through a hole at depth h = 4.50 cm in a tank holding water to height H = 31.4 cm. (a) At what distance x does the stream strike the floor? (b) At what depth should a second hole be made to give the same value of x? (c) At what depth should a hole be made to maximize x? (a) Number i (b) Number (c) Number i Units Units Units >
Atherosclerosis is a disease characterized by the thickening of the arterial wall. In this condition a deposit forms on the arterial wall, reducing the opening through which the blood flows. Suppose that because of this disease, the area of the clogged artery is 0.8 of the area of the normal artery. If the blood is moving at 0.40 m/s in the normal artery, find its speed at the clogged portion of the artery.
A waterfall ride at King’s Dominion is 50 m high. The water flows over the top of the falls with a speed of 3 m/s.a) What is the speed of the water as it approaches the bottom of the falls?
The bottom of a car hits a sharp rock, which punctures a small hole on the bottom of its gas tank. If the height of the gasoline in the tank is 30 cm and the surface of the gas in the tank is exposed to atmospheric pressure (since the lid is not tightly sealed), determine the initial velocity of the gasoline pouring out of the hole. Answer in m/s.
One of the National Academy of Engineering Grand Challenges for Engineering is Restore and Improve Urban Infrastructure. Infrastructure includes bridges and roads, but it also includes water and sewer system, railroads, and power grids. In 2016, the state of Washington opened the SR 520 "floating" bridge. The bridge is made of 77 floating concrete boxes anchored to the bed of the lake using 58 steel cables. Each cylindrical cable is 3 inches [in] thick, 1000 feet [ft] long, and made of steel. Assume the specific gravity of steel is 7.9. What is the weight of one cable in units of pound-force [Ib]? E Click the icon to view the conversion table.
