When we try to close a water tap with our fingers , fast jets of water gush through the oopenings between our fingerss

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

According to equation of contiunity av = constant as the the gap between fingers decreases , area of outlet of water jet is reduced , so velocity of water increases.

One end of a horizontal pipe is closed with the help of a velve and the reading of a barometer attached in the pipe is 3xx10^(5) pascal When the value in the pipe is opened then the reading of barometer falls to 10^(5) pascal the velocity of water flowing through the pipe will be in m/s-

When a situation demands our immediate action, it takes some time before we really respond. Reaction time is the time a person takes to observe, think and act. For example, if a person is driving and suddenly a boy appears on the road, then the time elapsed before he slams the brakes of the car is the reaction time. Reaction time depends on complexity of the situation and on an individual. You can measure your reaction time by a simple experiment. Take a ruler and ask your friend to drop it vertically through the gap between your thumb and forefinger . After you catch it, find the distance d travelled by the ruler. In a particular case, d was found to be 21.0 cm. Estimate reaction time.

A U-tube of small and uniform cross section contains water of total length 4H the height difference between the water columns on the left and on the right is H when the valve K is closed, the valve is suddenly open, and water is flowing from left to right. ignore friction find the speed of water when the heights of the left and the right water columns are the same.

A 3.6m long vertical pipe resonates with a source of frequency 212.5 Hz when water level is at certain height in the pipe. Find the height of water level (from the bottom of the pipe) at which resonance occurs. Neglect end correction. Now , the pipe is filled to a height H (~~ 3.6m) . A small hole is drilled very close to its bottom and water is allowed to leak. Obtain an expression for the rate of fall of water level in the pipe as a function of H . If the radii of the pipe and the hole are 2 xx 10^(-2)m and 1 xx 10^(-3)m respectively, Calculate the time interval between the occurance of first two resonances. Speed of sound in air 340m//s and g = 10m//s^(2) .
