Answer:
v = 119 in/s
Explanation:
Given,
time to fill car's fuel = 1 min = 60 s
Fuel in the tank after 1 min = 8.8 gallons
diameter of pipe = 0.60 in
average velocity of the gasoline = ?
Now,
Discharge(Q) = [tex]\dfrac{8.8 \times 231\ in^3}{60\ s}[/tex]
= [tex]33.88\ in^3/ft[/tex]
We know that
Q = Av
[tex]v = \dfrac{Q}{A}[/tex]
[tex]v = \dfrac{33.88}{\frac{\pi}{4}\times d^2}[/tex]
[tex]v = \dfrac{33.88}{\frac{\pi}{4}\times 0.6^2}[/tex]
v = 119 in/s
Average velocity of gasoline is equal to 119 in/s.
