You carry a fire hose up a ladder to a height of 10 m above ground level and aim the nozzle at a burning roof that is 9 m high. You hold the hose horizontally and notice that the water strikes the roof at a horizontal distance of 7 m from where it exits the nozzle. The hose is connected to a large pressurized chamber in the fire truck 0.5 m above ground level. What is the pressure in the chamber

Respuesta :

Answer:

The value is [tex]P_1 = 314645 \ Pa [/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The height is [tex]h_2 = 10 m[/tex]

The height of the burning roof is [tex]k = 9 m[/tex]

The horizontal distance is [tex]d = 7 \ m[/tex]

The height of the truck is [tex]h_1 = 0.5 \ m[/tex]

Generally the time for the water to hit the roof from the hose is mathematically represented as

[tex]t = \sqrt{\frac{2 * (h_2 - k)}{g} }[/tex]

=> [tex]t = \sqrt{\frac{2 * (10 - 9)}{9.8} }[/tex]

=> [tex]t = 0.4518 \ s [/tex]

Generally the velocity of the water is mathematically evaluated as

[tex]v_2 = \frac{d}{t}[/tex]

[tex]v_2 = \frac{ 7}{0.4518}[/tex]

[tex]v_2 = 15.5 \ m/s [/tex]

Generally from Bernoulli's Equation we have that

[tex]P_1 + \frac{1}{2} v_1^2 * \rho + \rho *g *h_1 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} v_2^2 * \rho + \rho *g *h_2[/tex]

Here [tex]P_1 [\tex] is pressure in the chamber which we are to calculate , [tex]P_2 [\tex] is the atmospheric pressure with value  [tex]P_2 =  101325 \ Pa  [\tex] , [tex]v_1 [\tex] is the velocity of the water before it starts flowing with value [tex]v_1  =  0 m/s [\tex] , [tex]\rho [\tex]  is the density of water with value [tex]\rho =  1000 \ kg/m^3  [\tex]

So

       [tex]P_1  + \frac{1}{2} 0^2 * 1000 + 1000 *9.81 *0.5 = 101325  + \frac{1}{2}* 15.5^2* 1000 + 1000 *9.81 *10[/tex]  

         [tex]P_1  = 314645 \ Pa [/tex]
