In a towns water system pressure gauges in still water at street level reads 150kpa. if a pipeline connected to the system breaks and shoots water straight up, how high above the street does the water shoot?
Answers
IF a pipeline connected to the system breaks and shoots water straight up, the water shoot will be 15m high above the street.
Explanation:
Bernoulli's equation is related with the speed, height, and pressure of two points.
In this question, Bernoulli's equation will be used because the pressure of water or flowing fluid is given and we want to evaluate the speed of the fluid flow or water shoot. Moreover, the height of the water shoot can be found by using kinematics.
It can be calculated by:
Let point 'a' be the water reading 150kPa, and point 'b' be the pipe broke. As per equation, both points are at same street level, i.e, Ya = Yb
The height will be 0, because the water is still.
Therefore, we will use kinematics to evaluate the height of the flowing water stream.
Hence, the height will be 15m high.
