Recently I viewed the Searaser video at
After watching it, I feel the numbers given in the video could be wrong but not sure. So I'd like to know how I can calculate the amount of water pushed by the Searaser device at some height in one wave shot e.g. at 100 ft, 200 ft and 300 ft above sea...
I assume the water to start flowing from rest at position 1, hence ##v_1 = 0##. Applying the continuity equation, ##A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2##, we find the (wrong) result that the velocity at position 2 is ##v_2 = 0## also! (We assume that ##A_2## is small but finite)
Hence, to answer the question...
We understand that the crucial thing about the problem is that the volume of water present in the three containers are not the same. Also, we note that in each case the weight of the container is the total weight of its contents. (A student might be confused as to why should be so - after all...
Hi,i want to calculate the speed of sound in water

Hello!
I wait for the tram in a shelter. The roof of the shelter is made of transparent material (glass like). Leaves fall onto the roof and remain there in early winter during the first freeze.
If there are no leaves on the roof (recently cleared by wind), the ice freezes with no...
I assumed a uniform distribution of charge within the droplet such that ##E = \frac{q}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}r^{2}}## at the outside surface. I then said that the pressure acting at the surface would be the force on a charge element ##dq## within an area ##dA## on the surface, divided by the area...
Assuming water to flow out of the pipe with the same speed as inside and the thickness of water column ##h_{ab} = h_{cd} = h##, my answer would be ##\mathbf{(P_b = P_c) > (P_a = P_d)}##.
My reasoning is as follows : at positions ##a\; \text{and}\; d## the gauge pressure is 0 and the total...
Hello all,
I need Your help with one real / theoretical situation.
We have submerged pipe filled with air at atmospheric pressure that is closed on both ends.
The hole is formed on one pipeline end and the water starts flooding the pipe.
Let's assume pipe is tilted somewhat and that no air...
Hi there,
I have a few interesting problems that I have been exploring for a while now, but i quickly get beyond my level of knowledge of physics, so wondered if members of this Forum may be able to assist. One of the projects that we have been trying to solve is how to maintain a decent quality...
So I've observed the animal I am studying dry it's self (a survival mechanism called anhydrobiosis) to avoid freezing (laseration by ice crystals). Life forms given time produce a number of protectants in order to survive. Trehalose a sugar is produced to 2-4%. This will act as an antifreeze to...
I have conducted an experiment involving projecting a laser beam onto a surface and observing speckles that move relative to us. Those speckles become less visible (maybe smaller?) when the surface is smooth and that is especially the case with milk. I have dyed milk and water to see whether in...
I am trying to model an evaporator which evaporates water to steam in Matlab/simulink. Are there any governing equations i need to know and follow when modelling the evaporator mathematically? Please let me know.
Hi, Its my first time here in PF, I was wondering what could be a fast endothermic reaction(with water) that does not burn the skin/ cause severe allergic reactions when/after touching or in contact with the reaction. (With high rate of cooling and hopefully no bubbles or gas forming). E.g to be...
Was curious if induction water heaters were a thing and if they had any benefits over a traditional electric resistance coil. On quora someone argues that a resistance coil is a near perfect conversion of electricity to heat, therefore no benefit to induction - is this correct? Is the...
I am interested in showing a visualization of water molecules in a time-varying electric/magnetic field as part of my PhD work.
I would like something like this visualization:

At first, I thought of simply animating water molecules...
This is a past exam paper Q.
I think i might be missing info though.
For i) i use q=UAdT
A= 35m2
dT= (80-20)
They haven't given U but if i know answer should be 1,050W
So if i set U to 0.5
(0.5)(35)(60)
= 1050W
Am i missing something or could I calculate U with the info given?
Also ii)

Consult a physical problem that USES piston to absorb water:
Pistons with surface areas S1, S2 and S are placed horizontally at the same height (H).
S1 = S2
S=S1+S2
When F starts moving to the left, how do you calculate its force?
Is F=ρgHS?
(*The friction force doesn't have to be calculated.)
Assume a jet boat or personal water craft (JetSki, etc) has a movable propulsion nozzle. This nozzle can be moved vertically so that the water jet driving the boat forward can be either above the surface or below the surface of the water.
Further clarification. You are speeding along on your...
I've worked out that half of the steam must condense (since the pressure of the steam needs to remain constant for the forces on the massless piston to balance). Also, if the total volume of the container is ##V##, the work done on the system equals ##\frac{P_{atm}V}{4}##. When half of the steam...

So I'm playing around with some water rockets and I'm trying to figure out how fast the exhaust velocity of the water is. I've had an experimental approach using high fps camera to record and analyse (using tracker) the exhaust velocity. I'm using a 0,5 l soda bottle with 0,085 L ; 0,135 ; L...
Hey all,
I've come here to seek out some help creating the perfect espresso brewing water. I've done some research, and I think I've reduced it down to a chemistry problem. I'll be starting with distilled water and adding minerals, some 'hardness' and an 'alkalinity buffer.'First, here's the...
Hello
4m3/min is 240m3 /hr. Temperature is 293K, at 25C the amount of water is 22.8g/m3 and at 20C it is 17.1g/m3. Relative humidity is 70% and absolute pressure 9bar.
Solution:
@ 25C
relative humidity lowers the water content from 22.8 to 15,96g/m3 so in total 3830.4g/hr
240m3 or air is...

The equation that we saw in class is for a continuous charge distribution, I think that for this exercise I need to treat the system as a discrete charge distribution but I'm not sure. Also, I don't know how I can calculate the intensity of the electric field needed to move this charge.
I converted dm3 to m3, all the degrees to kelvins and found out the specific heat constants of iron and aluminium (0,45 and 0,91 KJ/kg K), but now i am failing to understand how this was supposed to be calculated. The equation given doesn't really help, as there are two unknowns in it: Q and the...

Hello,
I think I understand how Bernoulli equations works but I am clearly uncertain on some aspects of its application. For example, let's look at the figure below:

I know that I have to calculate force that is generated by water. However, I do it wrong way.
## A = \pi r^2 ##
## v = \frac Q A = \frac Q {\pi r^2}##
## F = P t = mvt = ...? ## - have problem with mass. and is it even correct way?
if I can calculate F - its easy afterwards...

$$ P = \rho g \Delta h $$
$$ \Delta h = h - L sin \Theta $$
$$ F_A = P S_A $$
$$ F_A = P S_B $$
