Lesson: Probability Beethoven wrote 8 symphonies, and Mozart wrote 25 piano concertos. If a university radio station announcer wishes to play first a Beethoven symphony and then a Mozart concerto, in how many ways can this be done? Two pumps connected in parallel fail independently of one another on any given day. The probability that only the older pump will fail is .10, and the probability that only the newer pump will fail is .05. What is the probability that the pumping system will fail on any given day (which happens if both pumps fail)?

Two pipes A and B, A is 8" in diameter and B is 4" in diameter were use fill a 5, 000, 000 gallon tank together. If A is used to fill the tank alone , it will days when it discharges 4 m/sec. (round off your answers into two decimal places), while if both of the pipe is to be used, having B discharging 8 m/sec, it will take them hours
A hemispherical cistern of 6 m radius is full of water. It is fitted with a 75 mmdiameter sharp edged orifice at the bottom. Calculate the time required to lower the level in the cistern tank by 2 meters. Assume Cd= 0.60. Express your answer in hour, minutes and secs. PLEASE INCLUDE FBD OR FIGURE
One pipe can fill a pool in 45 minutes, and two pipes can fill the same pool in 20 minutes. How long will it take for the second pipe alone to fill the pool? A. 36 minutes B. 25 minutes C. 30 minutes D. 15 minutes E. None of the above
In a test to determine the discharge coefficient of a 30 cm by 15 cm Venturi meter the total weight of oil (specific gravity = 0.83) passing through the meter in 2.0 minutes was 15383 N. A water-oil differential manometer connected to inlet and throat of the meter showed an average water difference during that time of 20 cm. Determine the meter coefficient and the head loss on the meter. Compute all values rounded to the fourth decimal point. Direct substitution to formula solution will have no credit points.
If the liquid of Prob. 10.89 is a superliquid (zero head lossoccurs with the flow of this liquid), then what will be the pumping rate, assuming that the pump curve is the same? 10.89: A pump that has the characteristic curve shown in the accompanying graph is to be installed as shown. What will be thedischarge of water in the system?
Problem 6: Energy Equation Demonstration Recently we saw a laboratory apparatus demonstrate several aspects of the energy equation. As you will recall, the cross-sectional area of the pipe varied from a maximum of 4.909×104 m² at point A to 7.854x105 m² at point E (factor of 6.25 difference): 76.08 BCDE SLOB 74 35 5.0 Part A What is the smallest velocity at Point E (VE) that will cause cavitation? T = 20°C, and you may assume the pressure at Point A (PA) is one Denver atmosphere, so PA = Patm = 85 kPa. Neglect the piezometer connections - assume they do not exist. [m/s] Part B In reality, of course, we do have piezometer connections at points A-F. What happens in the real apparatus when the discharge equals the result from Part A? (≤25 words)

8.If the pump removes 1.65 gal/min of water from a tank, how long will it take to empty the tank if it contains 7,425 lb of water?
The same venturi meter described in letter a is used to measure the discharge for a length of pipeline that was suspected to have had water stolen through an illegal connection. Before said suspected illegal connection, a mercury difference of 350 mm was observed while a mercury difference of 200 mm was observed afterwards. Estimate the stolen volume of water per day.
1. The reading of an automobile fuel gage is proportional to the gage pressure at the bottom of the tank. The tank is A deep and is contaminated with B of water. The specific volume of gasoline is 0.00147076 m /kg and that of air is 0.0008313 m³/kg. Unit weight of water is 9790 N/m3 a. Determine the gage reading when the tank is full of gasoline b. How many cm of air remains at the top when the gage indicates full if the tank is A deep and is contaminated with B of water. c. Determine the pressure at the interface of the gasoline and water when the gage indicates full A = First name in inches Vent B = A/10 in inches Air h A Gasoline Pgage Water B
In an experiment on a venturi meter installed in a 300 mm diameter pipe, themercury in the differential U-tube manometer connected to the venturi meterdeflects 73 mm when 73 l/s of water is flowing in the pipe. If the diameter of thethroat of the venturi is 150 mm, calculate Cd for the venturi.
You are in an old spy movie and have been locked into a small room (volume 1,000 ft3). You suddenly realize that a poison gas has just started entering the room through a ventilation duct and that the poisonous air is not leaving the room. What is the correct formula for mass conservation? you are safe as long as the concentration is less than 100 mg/m3. If the ventilation airflow rate in the room is 100 ft3/min and the incoming gas concentration is 200 mg/m3, how long do you have to escape? (in minutes)
