Question

Near Neverland Ranch, there is a big beautifulpink dam. First thing in the morning of everyday, Michael Jacksonopens his window and gazes at this big beautiful pink dam. And heexclaims, “Hurray for pink, my favorite color!!”.Unfortunately, one day, a leak forms in the big beautiful pink dam.That is, water flows through a hole of 1 cm in diameter. Thevelocity of the water exiting the hole is 30 m/s. (Make sure toinclude the effects of atmospheric pressure.) *please helpMichael!* :)

What is the height (h) of the water above thehole?

What is the pressure at a point A in the waterthat is at the same height as the hole but far away from thehole?

Explanation / Answer

Speed v = 30 m / s diameter d= 1 cm = 0.01 m (a). The height of the water above the hole h = v^2 / (2g )                                                                     =45.91 m (b). Pressure at point A is P = P ' + ( 1/ 2) v ^2 where = density of water = 1000 kg / m^3           P ' =density at top of the dam = 1 atm = 101.3 * 10 ^ 3 Pa So, P = (101.3*10^3 ) + ( 1054.24*10^3 )          =1155.54*10^3 Pa
