Water Pressure and 2 dimensional motion

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the initial velocity (V_0) in the context of water pressure and two-dimensional motion using equations related to fluid dynamics. Key equations mentioned include the height (H) derived from velocity and angle (Θ) and the pressure (P) equation relating to fluid height (Δh). The conversation highlights the need for additional equations, specifically referencing Bernoulli's principle, which is often misunderstood in terms of its application to varying densities. The participants conclude that further exploration of fluid dynamics equations is necessary to resolve the calculation of V_0.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of fluid dynamics principles, specifically Bernoulli's equation.
  • Familiarity with kinematic equations in two-dimensional motion.
  • Knowledge of pressure calculations in fluids, including the relationship between pressure, density, and height.

Homework Statement
Figure (See below) shows a valve separating a reservoir
from a water tank. If this valve is opened, what
is the maximum height above point B attained by the
water stream coming out of the right side of the tank?
Assume h = 10.0 m, L = 2.00 m, and ## \Theta ## = 30.0°, and
assume the cross-sectional area at A is very large compared
with that at B.
Relevant Equations
H = Vt - g(t^2)/2
F = P A
P = pgh

$$ H = \frac { V^2 - V_0^2 sin \Theta} {-2g} $$
$$ H = \frac {V_0^2 sin \Theta} {2g} $$

So, I need to calculate ## V_0 ##
I'm thinking about pressure.

$$ P = \rho g \Delta h $$
$$ \Delta h = h - L sin \Theta $$

$$ F_A = P S_A $$
$$ F_A = P S_B $$

Dead End here...

Perhaps you need another equation ? Look back in your notes or text ... what are the subjects that might be exercised herer ?
 
Nothing helpful...

Yes endeed, I need another equation/approach. However, I can't figure out which one :/
 
Ever hear of Bernoulli ?

Yes of course.

However, As I understand, Bernouli is used when we have different densities (to "create" "upward" force).
 
Not right. One density cuts the cake just as well.
