    Flowrate Pressure
AI Thread Summary
Knowing the flow rate of a pump alone is insufficient to determine its pressure without a pump curve. A pump curve provides the necessary relationship between flow rate and pressure. If the pump curve is unavailable, the pressure cannot be accurately calculated. It is advisable to contact the pump manufacturer to obtain the required pump curve. Accurate pressure determination relies on having this critical data.

If we know the flowrate of a pump, is it possible to find out the pressure of the pump?

Yes...if you have a pump curve.

The problem is I don't have one

In that case you cannot find the pressure knowing only the flow rate of the pump.

Contact the manufacturer of the pump, they will give you one.

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...
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?
Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'
Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
