1 Fluids examples 1.Hydrostatic pressure calculation height of water level above bottom = 158.5 meters What is the pressure at the bottom?

2 2. Ship displacement 810 million N! How many cubic meters of water are displaced by the ship? (How much volume of the ship’s hull is below the waterline?)

3 a A F = 500 N F1F1 40 cm 5 cm A/a = 100 a) What mass truck can F lift? b) If piston a moves 1 cm /sec, how fast does the truck rise? 3) Hydraulic Lift F2F2

4 Use your knowledge of equilibrium, (beams) to get F 2 Use Pascal’s Principle to get Max Lift Force. Use Continuity to get lift speed. A 1 v 1 = A 2 v 2 Sum of torques = 0 = 40 F 1 +5 F 2

6 a) What is the velocity of the stream at the emergency outlets? Start with Bernoulli’s eq’n Down RiverLake Mead P + 1/2  v 2 +  gh = P + 1/2  v 2 +  gh

7 b) How far does the stream travel before reaching the downstream water level? Think back to freefall Velocity v 55 m d = ? Time to fall= ??? dist = v t

8 c) How fast does the level of Lake Mead drop when all gates are open? Continuity a 1 v 1 =a 2 v 2 Area of Lake Mead = 640 sq km Area of outlets = 8 x  (0.865) 2 + 4 x  1.15) 2 sq m Use v from previous exercise
