The bottom of a car hits a sharp rock, which punctures a small hole on the bottom of its gas tank. If the height of the gasoline in the tank is 30 cm and the surface of the gas in the tank is exposed to atmospheric pressure (since the lid is not tightly sealed), determine the initial velocity of the gasoline pouring out of the hole. Answer in m/s.
The below figure shows a pipe with a circular cross section of diameter 5 cm on the left end and a square cross section with diagonal 5 cm on the right end. Water enters the left end with a velocity v1 = 20 m/s and leaves the right end with a velocity v2. Find v2. Select one: 31.4 m/s 15.7 m/s 40 m/s 20 m/s
A storage shed has a flat roof 4 meters long and 3 meters wide. A hurricane force wind blows across the roof at 35 m/sec. What is the approximate lift force on the roof? The density of air is 1.2 kg/m^2 (the air inside the shed isn't moving )

Two pipes of equal and constant diameter leave a water pumping station and dump water out of an open end that is open to the atmosphere (see the following figure). The water enters at a pressure of two atmospheres and a speed of (v1 = 1.0 m/s). One pipe drops a height of 10 m. What is the velocity of the water as the water leaves each pipe?

When a foreign object that is lodged in the trachea (windpipe) forces a person to cough, the diaphragm thrusts upward, causing an increase in pressure in the lungs. At the same time, the trachea contracts, causing the expelled air to move faster and increasing the pressure on the foreign object. According to a mathematical model of coughing, the velocity v (in cm/s) of the airstream through an average-sized person's trachea is related to the radius r of the trachea (in cm) by the function v(r) = 3.2(1 − r)r2 1 2 ≤ r ≤ 1. Determine the value of r for which v is a maximum. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
