Water Flowing from a Tank

Water flows steadily from an open tank as shown in the figure. (Figure 1) The elevation of point 1 is \(10.0 \mathrm{~m},\) anc the elevation of points 2 and 3 is \(2.00 \mathrm{~m}\). The crosssectional area at point 2 is \(4.80 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m}^{2} ;\) at point 3 where the water is discharged, it is \(1.60 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m}^{2}\). The cross-sectional area of the tank is very large compared with the cross-sectional area of the pipe.
Part A
Assuming that Bernoulli's equation applies, compute the volume of water \(\Delta V\) that flows across the exit of the pipe in \(1.00 \mathrm{~s}\). In other words, find the discharge rate \(\Delta V / \Delta t\).
Express your answer numerically in cubic meters per second.
\(\frac{\Delta V}{\Delta t}= \mathrm{~m}^{3} / \mathrm{s}\)

A toboggan with two people on it weighs 300 lb. It starts from rest down a slope, 1/4 mile long, from a height 200 ft above horizontal level. The coefficient of sliding friction is 3/100 and the force of the wind resistance is proportional to the square of the velocity. When the velocity is 30 ft/sec, this force is 6 lb.
(a) Find the velocity of the toboggan as a function of the distance and of the time.
(b) With what velocity will the toboggan reach the bottom of the slide?
(c) When will it reach the bottom?
(d) What would its terminal velocity be if the slide were infinite in length?
Answers:
(a) v= 74.1 (e^(0,105t)-1)/(e^(0.105t)+1), v^2=5484(1-e^(-0.0014s)
(b) 68 ft/sec
(c) 30 sec, approx.
(d) 74.1 ft/sec
I'm having trouble solving for v originally. Any help would be much appreciated.

Cirrhosis Case Study Mr. V. is a 55-year-old alcoholic who checked into a clinic, complaining he has been experiencing a persistent cough and has been feeling more fatigued, nauseous, and irritable. In addition, he is experiencing more frequent memory lapses. His abdomen is distended, but on palpation, his liver is small in size and firm, indicating cirrhosis. Lab tests indicate a decrease in hemoglobin, albumin, and prothrombin levels with elevated serum bilirubin and ammonia levels
. Case Study Questions
1. Differentiate the various stages that Mr. V.’s liver has progressed through and the implications of the current stage.
2. Examine specific rationale for each of Mr. V.’s manifestations and blood values.
3. Appraise whether it is possible to reverse the damage to the liver at this stage. What is Mr. V's prognosis?
4. Evaluate significant complications that are likely to occur, include a discussion on predisposing factors and effects on the liver.

Two capacitors, C1 and C2, are connected in series and a battery, providing a voltage V, is connected across the two capacitors. (a) Find the equivalent capacitance, the energy stored in this equivalent capacitance, and the energy stored in each capacitor. (b) Show that the sum of the energy stored in each capacitor is the same as the energy stored in the equivalent capacitor. Will this equality always be true, or does it depend on the number of capacitors and their capacitances? (c) If the same two capacitors were connected in parallel, what potential difference would be required across them so that the combination stores the same energy as in the system of part (a)? Express everything in terms of the given quantities, C1, C2, and V. (d) If C1 =18μF,C2 = 36μF,V =12V, evaluate the equivalent capacitance and energy stored in the serial case of part (a), the equivalent capacitance and voltage of the parallel circuit of part (c). (e) In both cases, which capacitor stores more energy, C1 or C2?
