How High is the Water in the Bottle Based on Fluid Dynamics?

In summary, a water bottle with a 1 cm diameter tap tube and a water velocity of 1.4 m/s will have a height of 9.990 cm if the air pressure inside is equal to the atmospheric pressure outside. This can be solved by equating the hydrostatic pressure and dynamic pressure, with the assumption that the water is flowing slowly and neglecting its speed. In this case, the dynamic pressure and hydrostatic pressure on both sides of the equation can be considered zero.

Homework Statement


A water bottle has a tap tube at the bottom. The diameter of the valve opening is 1 cm. If you turn on the tap, the water drains out with a velocity of 1.4 m / s. If the air pressure in the bottle is equal to the atmospheric pressure outside it, how high the water than in the bottle? (Assume that the water inside the bottle flows so slowly that you may neglect the speed.)

Homework Equations


P+ρ×g×h+½×ρ×(v)2 = P+ρ×g×h+½×ρ×(v)2[/B]

The Attempt at a Solution


Pressure outside is equal to inside so you can ignore it .
So
ρxgxh = ½×ρx(v)^2
1000 x 9.81 x h = ½x1000 x (1.4)^2
h= 9.990 cm
I could solve this but what i don't understand is why is the dynamic pressure which is 1/2 x ρ x (v)^2 on the left side of the equation equal to zero ? and why is the hydrostatic pressure which is ρxgxh equal to zero on the right side of the equation ?[/B]

From the OP :
(Assume that the water inside the bottle flows so slowly that you may neglect the speed.)

Because you have taken reference level i.e h=0 at the level of tap .
 

What is fluid dynamics?

Fluid dynamics is the study of how fluids (such as liquids and gases) flow and behave under various conditions. It involves understanding the forces and motions that affect fluids, as well as their interactions with solid objects.

What is pressure in fluid dynamics?

Pressure in fluid dynamics is the force per unit area that a fluid exerts on a surface. It is a crucial factor in determining the motion and behavior of fluids, as it affects the direction and speed of fluid flow.

How is pressure related to fluid velocity?

In general, as fluid velocity increases, so does pressure. This is because as fluids flow faster, they exert more force on the objects they encounter, resulting in higher pressure. However, there are exceptions to this relationship, such as in the case of Bernoulli's principle, which states that pressure decreases as fluid velocity increases in certain situations.

What are some real-world applications of fluid dynamics and pressure?

Fluid dynamics and pressure have many practical applications in our daily lives. Some examples include the design of airplanes and cars, the flow of blood through our arteries, and the performance of pumps and turbines used in various industries.

What is the difference between static and dynamic pressure?

Static pressure is the pressure exerted by a fluid when it is not in motion. Dynamic pressure, on the other hand, is the pressure resulting from the motion of a fluid. It is typically higher than static pressure and is an important factor in understanding fluid flow and its effects on objects.
