On a day when the water is flowing relatively gently, water in the Niagara River is moving horizontally at 4.5 m/s before shooting over Niagara Falls. After moving over the edge, the water drops 53 m to the water below.

A) If we ignore air resistance, how much time does it take for the water to go from the top of the falls to the bottom?

B) How far does the water move horizontally during this time?

Expert Solution

A)

S = ut + 0.5 at^2

53 = 0 + 0.5 x 9.8 x t^2

Time, t = 3.29 sec

B)

Distance, d = 4.5 x 3.29 = 14.8 m

On the first day after arriving in Australia for Christmas vacation, a University of Niagara student plays out in the sun for six hours. Later that night he notices that the skin on his trunk, legs and arms becomes red, swollen and extremely painful. By morning all of the afflicted areas have developed numerous blisters. These areas cover about 30% of the trunk (front and back) and 40% of the arms and legs. 11. List all of the body functions...

A pump storage facility takes water from a river at night when demand is low and pumps it to a hilltop reservoir 500 ft above the river. The water is returned through turbines in the daytime to help meet peak demand. (a) For a single 30-inch pipe, 2,500 ft long and carrying 20,000 gaVmin, what pumping power is needed if the pump efficiency is 85 percent? The friction loss is estimated to be 15 ft of water. (b) How much...
