| \[A_1 v_i = A_2 v_x\] | Conservation of mass (continuity equation) requires that the volumetric flow rate remains constant, where \(A_1\) and \(A_2\) are the cross-sectional areas of the basement and second floor pipes, respectively. |
| \[A = \frac{\pi}{4}d^2\] | This is the formula for the area of a circle, with \(d\) as the diameter of the pipe. We use it to express \(A_1\) and \(A_2\) in terms of the given diameters. |
| \[v_x = \left(\frac{A_1}{A_2}\right)v_i = \left(\frac{d_1}{d_2}\right)^2 v_i\] | Substituting the area formula into the continuity equation, the constant factors cancel and we obtain \(v_x\) in terms of the diameters \(d_1\) and \(d_2\) and the initial speed \(v_i\). |
| \[v_x = \left(\frac{0.02}{0.013}\right)^2 (0.5)\] | Substitute \(d_1 = 0.02\,\text{m}\), \(d_2 = 0.013\,\text{m}\), and \(v_i = 0.5\,\text{m/s}\) into the equation. |
| \[v_x \approx (1.5385)^2 \times 0.5 \approx 2.367 \times 0.5 \approx 1.18\,\text{m/s}\] | Evaluating the ratio gives approximately \(1.5385\) which squared is about \(2.367\). Multiplying by \(0.5\,\text{m/s}\) results in a speed of approximately \(1.18\,\text{m/s}\) in the second floor pipe. |
| \[\boxed{v_x \approx 1.18\,\text{m/s}}\] | This is the final expression for the flow speed in the 1.3 cm diameter pipe on the second floor. |

|---|---|
| \[P_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_i^2 + \rho g h_1 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_x^2 + \rho g h_2\] | This is Bernoulli’s equation applied between the basement (point 1) and the second floor (point 2). It relates pressure, kinetic, and potential energy per unit volume along a streamline. |
| \[h_1 = 0,\quad h_2 = 5\,\text{m}\] | We set the basement as the reference level (\(h_1 = 0\)) so that the second floor is at an elevation of \(5\,\text{m}\). |
| \[P_1 = 3\,\text{atm} = 3 \times 101325 = 303975\,\text{Pa}\] | The initial pressure is given as \(3\,\text{atm}\); converting to Pascals using \(1\,\text{atm} = 101325\,\text{Pa}\) yields \(303975\,\text{Pa}\). |
| \[P_2 = P_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho (v_i^2 – v_x^2) – \rho g (h_2 – h_1)\] | Rearrange Bernoulli’s equation to solve for \(P_2\), the pressure in the second floor pipe. |
| \[P_2 = 303975 + \frac{1}{2}(1000)(0.5^2 – 1.18^2) – (1000)(9.8)(5)\] | Substitute \(\rho = 1000\,\text{kg/m}^3\) for water, \(g = 9.8\,\text{m/s}^2\), \(v_i = 0.5\,\text{m/s}\), and \(v_x \approx 1.18\,\text{m/s}\) into the equation. |
| \[0.5^2 = 0.25,\quad 1.18^2 \approx 1.392\] | Calculate the squares of the velocities for the kinetic energy terms. |
| \[\frac{1}{2}\times 1000\times(0.25 – 1.392) \approx 500\times(-1.142) \approx -571\,\text{Pa}\] | The kinetic energy difference contributes a change of approximately \(-571\,\text{Pa}\) (negative since the speed increases in the smaller pipe). |
| \[1000 \times 9.8 \times 5 = 49000\,\text{Pa}\] | This term accounts for the increase in gravitational potential energy due to the 5 m elevation gain. |
| \[P_2 = 303975 – 571 – 49000 \approx 254404\,\text{Pa}\] | Subtract the kinetic and potential energy contributions from the initial pressure to find the pressure at the second floor. |
| \[\boxed{P_2 \approx 254400\,\text{Pa}}\] | This is the final pressure in the 1.3 cm diameter pipe on the second floor. In atmospheres, this is roughly \(254400/101325 \approx 2.51\,\text{atm}\). |
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."
When the button of a trash compactor is pushed, a force of \( 350 \) \( \text{N} \) pushes down on a \( 1.3 \) \( \text{cm}^2 \) input piston, creating a force of \( 22,076 \) \( \text{N} \) to crush the trash. What is the area of the piston that crushes the trash?
In the laboratory, you are given a cylindrical beaker containing a fluid and you are asked to determine the density \( \rho \) of the fluid. You are to use a spring of negligible mass and unknown spring constant \( k \) that is attached to a vertical stand.
In a carbonated drink dispenser, bubbles flow through a horizontal tube that gradually narrows in diameter. Assuming the change in height is negligible, which of the following best describes how the bubbles behave as they move from the wider section of the tube to the narrower section?
The radius of the left piston is \( 0.12 \) \( \text{m} \) and the radius of the right piston is \( 0.65 \) \( \text{m} \). If \( f \) were raised by \( 14 \) \( \text{N} \), how much would \( F \) need to be increased to maintain equilibrium?
A pump, submerged at the bottom of a well that is \( 35 \) \( \text{m} \) deep, is used to pump water uphill to a house that is \( 50 \) \( \text{m} \) above the top of the well, as shown to the right. The density of water is \( 1000 \) \( \text{kg/m}^3 \). All pressures are gauge pressures. Neglect the effects of friction, turbulence, and viscosity.

General Metric Conversion Chart
Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]
Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]
Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]
