Serway & Jewett β Fluid Mechanics: Problem 22
A legendary Dutch boy saved Holland by plugging a hole of diameter 1.20 cm in a dike with his finger. If the hole was 2.00 m below the surface of the North Sea (density 1 030 kg/mΒ³), (a) what was the force on his finger? (b) If he pulled his finger out of the hole, during what time interval would the released water fill 1 acre of land to a depth of 1 ft? Assume the hole remained constant in size.
π Solution Approach
Given: 1.20 cm, 2.00 m, 030 kg, 1 ft
Find: (a) what was the force on his finger?; (b) If he pulled his finger out of the hole
