Work done by pressure forcing water through a pipe
Problem 61
How much work is done by pressure in forcing 9.6 m3 of water through a pipe having an internal diameter of 13 mm if the difference in pressure at the two ends of the pipe is 3.2 atm?
Problem 81
Tin can has a total volume of 1380 cm3 and a mass of 146 g. How many grams of lead shot of density 11.4 g/cm3 could it carry without sinking in water?

Problem: How much work is done by pressure in forcing 9.6 m3 of water through a pipe having an internal diameter of 13 mm if the difference in pressure at the two ends of the pipe is 3.2 atm?
Solution:
P1 R = 6.5 mm P2
h1 h2
Pressure difference = P1 - P2 = 3.2 atm or 3.2 x 1.01 x 105 = 3.23 x 105 Pa
Net force acting on the water in the pipe = F = 3.23 x 105 x A .......(!) where A = Area of cross section of the pipe
As volume V of water flows out of the pipe, let the water ...
