Flow Rate Water Water flow

AI Thread Summary

To calculate the water flow rate through a quarter-inch hole, Bernoulli's equation is essential. The area of the hole is 0.49 square inches, which is a starting point for determining flow rate. Factors such as water pressure and height difference also influence the flow rate. Applying Bernoulli's principle will help derive the velocity and subsequently the flow rate. Understanding these principles is crucial for accurate calculations.

I am trying to figure the flow of water through a quater inch hole straight down. I know the area of my hole is .49 square inches, however, I am not sure how to go about getting the rate at which water will flow through that hole. Any help would be great.

Use Bernoulli's equation.

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
