Velocity & Impact Energy Calculation for pipework failure calc.

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the initial velocity of a pipe end stop that fails under high pressure, specifically at 1000 Bar. The mass of the end stop is 100g with a diameter of 12.7mm, which is the same as the internal diameter of the pipe. Key calculations needed include determining the initial velocity at the point of failure, the velocity 1 meter from the failure point, and the energy of the end stop upon impact with a polycarbonate screen. The participants are encouraged to share their progress and any relevant equations to assist in solving these problems. The thread emphasizes the importance of understanding the dynamics of pipework failure and its implications for safety.

Homework Statement


A pipe end stop fails when subjected to high pressure and flys of the pipe before impacting with a polycarbonate protective screen.
The end stop has a mass of 100g and is 12.7mm dia. as is the internal diameter of the pipe. The instantaneous pressure that the end stop fails at is 1000 Bar.

My problem is:
a) What is the intitial velocity of the pipe stop at point of failure?
b) What is the velocity of the pipe stop 1m from the point of failure?
c) What is the energy of the pipe stop, at the point of impact with the polycarbonate screen?

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

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 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

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...
