In the figure above, somebody has pumped a beer keg with a cross
sectional area
m
up to
atmospheres of pressure
at the top (1 atm = 10
Pascals) and pulled the tube off of the tap
(which has a cross sectional area of
cm
) at the
bottom. The surface of the beer is
cm above the tap at the
bottom. Fortunately, the keg is up on a stand
m above the
ground, so that you can catch it in a bucket.
a) Where should you put the bucket to catch the beer? (Find R. Don't
forget
).
b) How long (approximately) do you have to find a bucket before the beer is all gone?
