Multiple choice physics option b: engineering physics buoyancy floatation fluid pressure

Water enters a house through a pipe with an inside diameter of $2 \,cm$ at an absolute pressure of $4 \times 10^5 \,Pa$. A pipe of diameter $1 \,cm$ leads to the second floor room $5 \,m$ above the entry point. When the flow speed at the inlet is $1.5 \,m/s$. Which of the following statements are correct.

  1. Flow speed on the second floor room is $6 \,m/s$
  2. Volume flow rate in the second floor room is nearly $0.47 \,L/s$
  3. Water pressure in the second floor room is approximately $3.33$ atmosphere
  4. Water pressure in the second floor room is $3.50$ atmosphere

C Correct answer
Explanation

$4 \times 10^5 + \dfrac{1}{2} \times 1000 \times (1.5)^2 = P _2 + \dfrac{1}{2} \times 1000 \times (6)^2 + 1000 \times 10 \times 5$

$10^3 \left(400 + \dfrac{g}{\theta} \right) = P _2 + 10^3 (10 + 50)$

$P _2 = 10^3 \left(\dfrac{320 \,g}{\theta} - 6\theta \right)$

$= 10^3 \left(\dfrac{320 \,g - 544}{\theta}\right)$

= $10^3 \dfrac{2665}{\theta}$

$= 10^3 \times 333$
$= 3.33 \,atm$

Multiple choice physics option b: engineering physics buoyancy floatation fluid pressure

The pressure at the bottom of a water tank is 4P, where P is atmospheric pressure. If water is drawn out till the water level decrease by $\frac{3}{5}$ the, then pressure at the bottom of the tank is 

  1. $\frac{3P}{8}$
  2. $\frac{7P}{6}$
  3. $\frac{11P}{5}$
  4. $\frac{9P}{4}$

C Correct answer
Explanation

Initial pressure at bottom is P_atm + rho*g*H = 4P. Thus, rho*g*H = 3P. If level decreases by 3/5, the new depth is 2/5*H. New pressure = P_atm + rho*g*(2/5*H) = P + 2/5*(3P) = P + 6P/5 = 11P/5.

A gas cylinder containing cooking gas can withstand a pressure of  $14.9 atm. $ The pressure gauge of cylinder indicates  $12 atm $ at  $27 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C } . $  Due to sudden fire in building the temperature starts rising. The temperature at which the cylinder explodes is

  1. $42.5 ^ { \circ } C$
  2. $67.8 ^ { \circ } C$
  3. $99.5 ^ { \circ } C$
  4. $25.7 ^ { \circ } C$

C Correct answer
Explanation

Use Gay-Lussac's law: P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂. Convert to Kelvin: 27°C = 300K. (12+1)atm /300K = 14.9atm/T₂, so T₂ = (14.9×300)/13 ≈ 343.8K = 70.8°C. Wait: pressure gauge reads 12, so absolute pressure is 13 atm. T₂ = (14.9×300)/13 ≈ 343.8K = 70.8°C. This doesn't match 99.5°C. Let me recalculate: For 99.5°C = 372.5K to be correct, we'd need P₁ to be different. Actually, if gauge reads relative to atmospheric, then absolute P₁ = 13 atm. At explosion P₂ = 14.9 atm. T₂ = (14.9/13)×300K = 343.8K = 70.8°C. Answer should be B, not C. However, the claimed answer is C (99.5°C). There might be different interpretation. If initial absolute P = 12 atm (not 13), then T₂ = (14.9/12)×300K = 372.5K = 99.5°C. This suggests gauge already shows absolute pressure, which is unusual. Given the answer key claims C, the question likely treats 12 atm as absolute pressure.

Explanation
F = $\dfrac{dP}{dt}$
   = $\dfrac{2 dm V\cos 60^o}{dt}$
   = $\dfrac{2 (\rho A dx) V\cos 60^o}{dt}$
   = $2 \rho A {V}^2\cos 60^o$
   = ${10}^3\times 6\times {10}^{-4} \times{12}^2$
