Fluid Mechanics Viscosity Question 114

Question: A sniper fires a rifle bullet into a gasoline tank making a hole 53.0 m below the surface of gasoline. The tank was sealed at 3.10 atm. The stored gasoline has a density of 660 kgm?3. The velocity with which gasoline begins to shoot out of the hole is

Options:

A) The volume of the liquid flowing through the tube in unit time is $ A_{1}v_{1} $

B) $ v_{2}-v_{1}=\sqrt{2gh} $

C) $ v_{2}^{2}-v_{1}^{2}=2gh $

D)The energy per unit mass of the liquid is the same in both sections of the tube

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

According to Bernoulli’s theorem, $ P_{1}+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_{1}^{2}=P_{2}+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_{2}^{2} $ Þ $ P_{1}-P_{2}=\frac{1}{2}\rho \left( v_{2}^{2}-v_{1}^{2} \right) $ Þ $ h\rho g=\frac{1}{2}\rho \left( v_{2}^{2}-v_{1}^{2} \right) $ \ $ v_{2}^{2}-v_{1}^{2}=2gh $ Hence option (c) is correct.
