AI Thread Summary
The pressure difference in a 2-meter deep swimming pool can be calculated using the formula Pdiff = Density(h20) * height * gravity, resulting in a value of 19.6 kPa. This calculation is based on hydrostatic principles, specifically Bernoulli's equation. Some participants noted that this scenario also relates to Pascal's law, although there was uncertainty about the terminology. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding fluid dynamics concepts in practical applications. Overall, the calculations and principles discussed are foundational in hydrostatics.

Q. Consider a 2-m deep swimming pool. The pressure difference between the top and bottom of the pool is :

Here is what I did:

Pdiff. = Denisty(h20) * height * gravity

Pdiff = 1000* 2m * 9.81 = 19.6 kPa

Is this correct.

Plz help

You are correct. It's just Bernoulli's equation.

Sure.But in this hydrostatic case,i think it's called Pascal's law...(not sure,been missing classes on hydrodynamics :wink:)...

Daniel.
 
Meh.

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...

Thread 'Egg Drop Challenge! Need ideas for winning designs'

I was thinking using 2 purple mattress samples, and taping them together, I do want other ideas though, the main guidelines are; Must have a volume LESS than 1600 cubic centimeters, and CAN'T exceed 25 cm in ANY direction. Must be LESS than 1 kg. NO parachutes. NO glue or Tape can touch the egg. MUST be able to take egg out in less than 1 minute. Grade A large eggs will be used.
