Let's solve **question (e)** step by step, with a graph and example explanation:
---
# (e) Maximum Water Velocity at Outlet
## **Step1: Apply Bernoulli’s Equation**
For a tank open to the atmosphere, with a tap at the bottom (outlet) and water level at height \( h \):
- At the water surface (point 1):
- Pressure = atmospheric (\( P_ \))
- Velocity (\( V_1 \)) ≈ (large tank)
- Height (\( z_1 \)) = \( h \)
- At the outlet (point 2):
- Pressure = atmospheric (\( P_ \))
- Velocity = \( V_2 \) (unknown)
- Height (\( z_2 \)) =
Using **Bernoulli’s equation**:
\[
P_ + \frac{1}{2}\rho V_1^2 + \rho g h = P_ + \frac{1}{2}\rho V_2^2 + \rho g ()
\]
\[
\frac{1}{2}\rho V_2^2 = \rho g h
\]
\[
V_2 = \sqrt{2gh}
\]
---
## **Step 2: Substitute Values and Solve**
Given:
- \( h = 5\, \text{m} \)
- \( g = 9.81\, \text{m/s}^2 \)
\[
V_2 = \sqrt{2 \times 9.81 \times 5}
\]
\[
V_2 = \sqrt{98.1}
\]
\[
V_2 \approx 9.9\, \text{m/s}
\]
---
## **Example Calculation**
Suppose the height was only \( 2\, \text{m} \):
\[
V_2 = \sqrt{2 \times 9.81 \times 2} = \sqrt{39.24} \approx 6.3\, \text{m/s}
\]
---
## **Graph**
Below is a plot showing how **velocity changes with water height** using \( V_2 = \sqrt{2gh} \):

# Fluid Dynamics Problems
## (e) Maximum Water Velocity at Outlet
### Step 1: Apply Bernoulli’s Equation
For a tank open to the atmosphere with a tap at the bottom:
- **Point 1 (Water Surface)**:
- Pressure: Atmospheric (\( P_ \))
- Velocity (\( V_1 \)): Approximately 0 (large tank)
- Height (\( z_1 \)): \( h \)
- **Point 2 (Outlet)**:
- Pressure: Atmospheric (\( P_ \))
- Velocity: \( V_2 \) (to be determined)
- Height (\( z_2 \)): 0
Using Bernoulli’s equation:
\[
P_ + \frac{1}{2}\rho V_1^2 + \rho g h = P_ + \frac{1}{2}\rho V_2^2 + \rho g z_2
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
\frac{1}{2}\rho V_2^2 = \rho g h
\]
Thus, we find the outlet velocity as:
\[
V_2 = \sqrt{2gh}
\]
### Step 2: Substitute Values and Solve
Given:
- \( h = 5\, \text{m} \)
- \( g = 9.81\, \text{m/s}^2 \)
Substituting into the formula:
\[
V_2 = \sqrt{2 \times 9.81 \times 5} = \sqrt{98.1} \approx 9.9\, \text{m/s}
\]
### Example Calculation
If the height were \( 2\, \text{m} \):
\[
V_2 = \sqrt{2 \times 9.81 \times 2} = \sqrt{39.24} \approx 6.26\, \text{m/s}
\]

### Final Answer
**Maximum water velocity at the outlet is:**
\[
\boxed{9.9\, \text{m/s}}
\]

## (6) Velocity at Center of the Pipe
### Given Data
- \( h_y = 12\, \text{cm} \) (static pressure)
- \( h_y = 7\, \text{cm} \) (stagnation pressure)
### Step 1: Calculate Pressure Difference
Using the hydrostatic pressure equation:
\[
\Delta P = \rho g (h_1 - h_2)
\]
Where:
- \( \rho \) is the density of water (approximately \( 1000\, \text{kg/m}^3 \))
- \( g = 9.81\, \text{m/s}^2 \)
### Step 2: Calculate Velocity
Using the relationship between pressure difference and velocity:
\[
\Delta P = \frac{1}{2} \rho V^2
\]
Rearranging to find \( V \):
\[
V = \sqrt{\frac{2\Delta P}{\rho}}
\]
### Example Calculation
Substituting values:
\[
\Delta P = 1000 \times 9.81 \times (0.12 - 0.07) = 49.05\, \text{Pa}
\]
Then,
\[
V = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 49.05}{1000}} \approx 0.31\, \text{m/s}
\]
### Final Answer
**Velocity at the center of the pipe is:**
\[
\boxed{0.31\, \text{m/s}}
\]

## (9) Lifting Force on an Airplane Wing
### Given Data
- Speed above wing: \( V_1 = 261\, \text{m/s} \)
- Speed below wing: \( V_2 = 225\, \text{m/s} \)
- Air density: \( \rho = 1.29\, \text{kg/m}^3 \)
- Wing area: \( A = 24.0\, \text{m}^2 \)
### Step 1: Calculate Pressure Difference
Using Bernoulli’s equation for both speeds:
\[
P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \rho V_2^2 = P_1 + \frac{1}{2} \rho V_1^2
\]
Rearranging gives:
\[
P_1 - P_2 = \frac{1}{2} \rho (V_2^2 - V_1^2)
\]
### Step 2: Calculate Lifting Force
The lift force \( F_L \) can be calculated as:
\[
F_L = (P_1 - P_2) \times A
\]
Substituting values:
\[
P_1 - P_2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 1.29 \times (225^2 - 261^2)
\]
Calculate \( F_L \):
\[
F_L = (P_1 - P_2) \times 24.0
\]
### Final Answer
**Lifting force on the wing is:**
\[
\boxed{F_L}
\]
*(Final numerical calculation needed for specific value)*
