8.9 P = Patm + ρgH = 1.01105 N/m2 + (1.025 x 103kg/m3)(9.8m/s2)(35,800 ft x 0.305 m/ft) = 1.1 x 108 Pa, assuming ρ = constant 8.12 This maximum force represents the gauge pressure and is given by

. From this we can calculate the mass

of water in the tube and knowing the density we can calculate the height (through the volume of liquid.) Solving the equation for the mass we find

. This corresponds to a weight

of water of , or about 25,600 times the force from the water. From the density we can now calculate the height of the column of water. We find

.

Multiple-Choice

- None Problems 8.16 A fountain of water

a. By conservation of energy we calculate the height of the column of water assuming it to be almost completely vertical. We have

b. By continuity we have

where the velocity of the water at a height of 10 m is calculated using

.

Thus the diameter if the water at 10m is 11.7cm. 8.20 The human heart as a pump

a. To calculate the velocity we use the equation of continuity and we find

.

b. The volume kinetic energy is given as

c. The power is the rate at which work is done and work is the force that is applied to the blood. We relate the force applied to the pressure and we have

d. To calculate the velocity of the blood in the blockage we use Bernoulli’s equation.

Thus we have

8.21 The speed of the exiting water is calculated from Bernoulli’s equation where we assume that the pressure on the top and sides of the tank is due to air and is the same in both places. Further we assume that the area of the tank’s top is much larger than the hole in the tanks side so that we can, to a reasonable approximation ignore the speed of the falling fluid. Thus we have from Bernoulli’s equation

where

we took the zero of the gravitational potential energy (per unit volume) to be zero at the hole.

column of water .

8.27 The total mass of the airplanes is . The

weight of the airplanes is equal to the weight of a slice of water 22cm thick with cross sectional area that is bounded by the waterline of the ship. Thus we have

8.31 Power is the rate at which energy is transferred or and Bernoulli’s

equation represents the energy per unit volume in a fluid, so multiplying and dividing our expression for power by a volume we find

8.33. Using Bernoulli’s equation we have P + ½ ρv2 = constant, we have that ΔP = ½

ρΔv2 and ΔF = AΔP + ½ AρΔv2. Given the wing area, density of air, weight of the plane, and the fractional difference in air speed above/below the wing, we can write that ΔF = ½ (2 x 70)(1.3) v2[1.252 - 1] = Mg = 10,000(9.8); then solving for v we have v = 43.8 m/s = 98 mph.

8.34 A Boeing 777

a. If the airplane is not accelerating up or down then the difference in pressures above and below the wing gives rise to the lifting force when multiplied by the wing area. Therefore we have for the pressure on the upper wing surface

.

b. The upward acceleration is calculated from the unbalanced force that acts on the wing (assuming that the pressure on the upper surface remains constant) using Newton’s 2nd law. Thus we have
