Solve Fluid Flow Problem: Find Water Rise in Cylindrical Bucket

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the height to which water will rise in a cylindrical bucket with a hole at the bottom. The bucket has a height of 30.0 cm and a diameter of 14.0 cm, with water entering at a rate of 2.00×10^−4 m^3/s. The outflow rate through the hole, with a cross-sectional area of 1.72 cm^2, is influenced by the water height, which affects the pressure at the hole. The key relationship involves equating the inflow and outflow rates to determine the equilibrium height of the water. The application of Bernoulli's principle is suggested to relate the water pressure and flow rates.

Homework Statement



A cylindrical bucket, open at the top, is 30.0 cm high and 14.0 cm in diameter. A circular hole with a cross-sectional area 1.72 cm^2 is cut in the center of the bottom of the bucket. Water flows into the bucket from a tube above it at the rate of 2.00×10^−4 m^3/s ...the question is how high will the water rise??


Homework Equations


A v = A v

q=v/t

The Attempt at a Solution



well so far i know that Av = 2*10^-4

but i am not sure how to approach this problem. do i use Bernoullis principle but how

this is my working out

2*10^-4=1.72*10^-4 *v

v=1.163m/s

help me here cheers

oops the question is how high will the water rise??
 
The rate at which water exits the hole is a function of the height of water in the bucket. The water level will rise until the rate of water running out of the hole exactly equals the rate at which water is being poured into the top. Do you have a relationship for volume/sec exiting a hole related to the water pressure above the hole?
 
yes it is 2*10^-4 m^3/sec
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
