Question

Problem 47PE

An oil gusher shoots crude oil 25.0 m into the air through a pipe with a 0.100-m diameter. Neglecting air resistance but not the resistance of the pipe, and assuming laminar flow, calculate the gauge pressure at the entrance of the 50.0-mlong vertical pipe. Take the density of the oil to be 900 kg/m3 and its viscosity to be 1.00 (N/m2 ) ⋅ s (or 1.00 Pa ⋅ s ). Note that you must take into account the pressure due to the 50.0-m column of oil in the pipe.

Solution

Solution

Step 1 of Step 3

In this problem, we have to find the gauge pressure at the entrances of the pipe.Given The pressure at bottom of pipe P is greater than horizontal pipe  where height h=50m column oil.
