Chapter , Problem 83(choose chapter or problem)
Two hoses are connected to the same outlet using a Y-connector, as the drawing shows. The hoses A and B have the same length, but hose B has the larger radius. Each is open to the atmosphere at the end where the water exits. Water fl ows through both hoses as a viscous fl uid, and Poiseuilles law [Q 5 pR4 (P2 2 P1)/(8hL)] applies to each. In this law, P2 is the pressure upstream, P1 is the pressure downstream, and Q is the volume fl ow rate. The ratio of the radius of hose B to the radius of hose A is RB/RA 5 1.50. Find the ratio of the speed of the water in hose B to the speed in hose A.
