Chapter 14 Problem 50

Question

Figure 14-46 shows two sections of an old pipe system that runs through a hill, with distances dA = dB = 30 m and D = 110 m. On each side of the hill, the pipe radius is 2.00 cm. However, the radius of the pipe inside the hill is no longer known. To determine it, hydraulic engineers first establish that water flows through the left and right sections at 2.50 mls. Then they release a dye in the water at point A and find that it takes 88.8 s to reach point B. What is the average radius of the pipe within the hill? " .. /~ ~ -~- ~ Fig. 14-46 50.

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 14 problem number 50 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Figure 14-46 shows two sections of an old pipe system that runs through a hill, with distances dA = dB = 30 m and D = 110 m. On each side of the hill, the pipe radius is 2.00 cm. However, the radius of the pipe inside the hill is no longer known. To determine it, hydraulic engineers first establish that water flows through the left and right sections at 2.50 mls. Then they release a dye in the water at point A and find that it takes 88.8 s to reach point B. What is the average radius of the pipe within the hill? " .. /~ ~ -~- ~ Fig. 14-46 50.
From the textbook chapter Fluids you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
