Water Flow in Pipe: Velocity & Height Calculation

Click For Summary
Water flowing at 5 m/s in a pipe discharges vertically into the atmosphere, prompting questions about the discharge velocity and height. The discharge velocity options provided include 0.25, 1.3, 5, and 25 m/s. Additionally, the height to which the water will rise is queried with options of 1.3, 0.25, 25, and 13 meters. Participants are encouraged to reference relevant equations and demonstrate their problem-solving attempts. Proper use of homework forums is advised for timely assistance.

1. Water is flowing in a pipe at 5ms-1, the end of the pipe is held vertically and discharges into the atmosphere, the velocity of water discharging from the pipe is:
  • a=0.25
  • b=1.3
  • c=5
  • d=25
2. The water in the question above will rise to a height in metres of:
  • a=1.3
  • b=0.25
  • c=25
  • d=13
I will be grateful for any help with these 2 questions. Thank you

Thread 'Magnitude of buoyant force in fluids of different densities'

The book claims the answer is that all the magnitudes are the same because "the gravitational force on the penguin is the same". I'm having trouble understanding this. I thought the buoyant force was equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Weight depends on mass which depends on density. Therefore, due to the differing densities the buoyant force will be different in each case? Is this incorrect?
