A piston is pressed with a force
on a hydraulic cylinder
containing water (
kg/m
). The cross sectional area
of the cylinder is
cm
. The water therein is forced into
a pipe with a cross sectional area of
cm
that rises
vertically a height
meters. Both the end of the pipe (at the
top) and the back of the piston (at the bottom) are open to
atmospheric pressure.
a) What does
have to be to make the water spurt from the pipe with
a speed of 10 meters/sec at the top?
b) What is the pressure (in atmospheres, where 1 atm = 10
Pascals)
inside the cylinder at the bottom at that time?
