(II)What gauge pressure in the water pipes is necessary if a fire hose is to spray water to a height of 16 m?
Short Answer
The necessary gauge pressure in the water pipes is \(156960\;{\rm{kg/m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^2}\).

Get started for freeA beaker of water rests on an electronic balance that reads 975.0 g. A 2.6-cm-diameter solid copper ball attached to a string is submerged in the water, but does not touch the bottom. What are the tension in the string and the new balance reading?
Explain why helium weather balloons, which are used to measure atmospheric conditions at high altitudes, are normally released while filled to only 10–20% of their maximum volume.
(II)What is the lift (in newtons) due to Bernoulli’s principle on a wing of area\(88\;{{\rm{m}}^2}\)if the air passes over the top and bottom surfaces at speeds of 280 m/s and 150 m/s, respectively?
Two ships moving in parallel paths close to one another risk colliding. Why?
(II) The surface tension of a liquid can be determined by measuring the force \(F\) needed to just lift a circular platinum ring of radius \(r\) from the surface of the liquid. (a) Find a formula for \(\gamma \) in terms of \(F\) and \(r\). (b) At \(30^\circ C\), if \(F = 6.20 \times {10^{ - 3}}\;{\rm{N}}\) and \(r = 2.9\;{\rm{cm}}\), calculate \(\gamma \) for the tested liquid.
