Liquid Problem with Bernoulli's Equation

AI Thread Summary
To solve the problem using Bernoulli's equation, the continuity equation must first be applied, which relates the cross-sectional areas and velocities of the water at two points in the pipe. The initial conditions include a 2.6 cm diameter pipe with a water speed of 0.90 m/s and a pressure of 240 kPa. As the pipe tapers to 1.6 cm and rises 7.5 m, the speed at the second floor can be calculated using the area ratio from the continuity equation. The change in height will affect the pressure, which can be determined by applying Bernoulli's principle, accounting for gravitational potential energy. Ultimately, both the speed and pressure at the second floor can be derived from these equations.

A water pipe having a 2.6 cm inside diameter carries water into the basement of a house at a speed of 0.90 m/s and a pressure of 240 kPa. If the pipe tapers to 1.6 cm and rises to the second floor 7.5 m above the input point, what are the (a) speed and (b) water pressure at the second floor?

I tried to set it up as:

But clearly it's wrong because I didn't take into consideration the area (given the diameter) etc.

I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

Oh, but to solve this problem you'll need to use your last topic equation (the continuity equation :wink: )
 
All righty...

if it's A1V1 = A2V2...do we take into consideration the final height?
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
