How High Can Water Climb in a Tank with a High-Velocity Inlet?

AI Thread Summary
To determine the maximum height water can reach in a tank with a high-velocity inlet, the continuity equation is essential. The user is confused about the appropriate formula, initially considering pressure but realizing that the exit velocity is crucial. The discussion emphasizes the need to analyze the flow rate and how it relates to the tank's dimensions. Clarification on the exit velocity is sought to further the calculations. Understanding these principles will help solve the problem effectively.

In a tank there is a hole at the bottom of radius 5cm.If water entering the vessel with pipe of radius 5cm with velocity 30m/s. Find maximum height to which tank can be filled.

Um I am confused about the formula to be used. I tried P=density *g*height but it didn't,the work out because pressure is not known. I wonder if equation for continuity is the possible solution.
 
start with the exit velocity …

what does the exit velocity have to be?​
 

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Average velocity as a weighted mean'

Hello everyone, Consider the problem in which a car is told to travel at 30 km/h for L kilometers and then at 60 km/h for another L kilometers. Next, you are asked to determine the average speed. My question is: although we know that the average speed in this case is the harmonic mean of the two speeds, is it also possible to state that the average speed over this 2L-kilometer stretch can be obtained as a weighted average of the two speeds? Best regards, DaTario

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?
