Water Pressure and 2 dimensional motion

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around calculating an initial velocity, ## V_0 ##, in the context of water pressure and two-dimensional motion. The original poster references equations related to height and pressure, indicating a focus on fluid dynamics and kinematics.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants explore the relationship between pressure and height, with the original poster attempting to connect these concepts to find ## V_0 ##. There are suggestions to consider additional equations and revisit foundational concepts, including Bernoulli's principle.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants questioning the adequacy of the original equations and exploring the relevance of Bernoulli's principle. Some guidance has been offered regarding the need for further equations, but no consensus has been reached on the correct approach.

Contextual Notes

There appears to be uncertainty regarding the application of Bernoulli's principle and the assumptions about fluid density in the problem context. The original poster expresses difficulty in identifying the necessary equations to proceed.

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.
