You are working as an assistant to a landscape architect, who is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.88 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 3.10 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
Firemen use a high-pressure hose to shoot a stream of water at a burning building. The water has a speed of 25.0 m>s as it leaves the end of the hose and then exhibits projectile motion. The firemen adjust the angle of elevation a of the hose until the water takes 3.00 s to reach a building 45.0 m away. Ignore air resistance; assume that the end of the hose is at ground level. (a) Find a. (b) Find the speed and acceleration of the water at the highest point in its trajectory. (c) How high above the ground does the water strike the building, and how fast is it moving just before it hits the building?
At what horizontal distance d from the building base, where should the fireman place the hose for the water to reach its maximum height as it strikes the building? Express this distance, d, in time of Vo, 0, g.
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 pressure in a natural gas pipeline is measured by the manometer shown in Fig. P2–52E with one of the arms open to the atmosphere where the local atmospheric pressure is 14.2 psia. Determine the absolute pressure in the pipeline.
A truck containing a half-filled tank goes up to a ramp which forms 15o from the horizontal. What would be the angle formed by the liquid from its initial state when the truck traveled 100m in 4s from an initial speed of 10 m/s?
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 world's highest fountain of water is located, appropriately enough, in Fountain Hills, Arizona. The fountain rises to a height of 560 ftft (5 feet higher than the Washington Monument). What is the initial speed of the water? How long does it take for water to reach the top of the fountain?
A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 0.536 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.40 m high and falls into a pool (see figure). (a) How far from the wall will the water land? 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 No (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, one-fifteenth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model? m/s

a) A wind turbine with two or four hollow hemispherical cups connected to a pivot is commonly uscd to measure wind speed. Consider a wind turbine with four 8-cm- diameter cups with a center-to-center distance of 40 cm, as shown in Fig. PI1-35. The pivot is stuck as a result of some malfunction, and the cups stop rotating. For a wind speed of 15 m/s and air density of 1.25 kg/m3, determine the maximum torque this turbine applies on the pivot. A hemisphere at two different orientations for Re > 10 40 cm C04
