If pressurized air pressure is 350 kPa, atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa, initial atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa, initial acceleration of the water rocket is 0.5g, acceleration of the water rocket is 0.5g, mass of water is 0.5 kg and structural mass of water is 0.5 kg and structural mass is 0.5 kg. Calculate the diameter of mass is 0.5 kg. Calculate the diameter of the nozzle where water is leaving the the nozzle where water is leaving the bottle

Answer:


d=8.657mm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

Pressurized air pressure is
P_(air)=350 kPa,

Atmospheric pressure is
P_a=100 kPa

Initial acceleration of the water rocket is
a_i=0.5g.

Acceleration of the water rocket is
a_r=0.5g

Mass of water is
M_w=0.5 kg

Generally total mass is given mathematically given as


T_M=0.5+0.5=>1kg

Generally the tension on the rocket is given mathematically given as


T=(P_(air)-P_a)A


T=(350-100) (\pi d^2)/(4)

T is also


T=(3Mg)/(2)

Therefore


T=>(350-100) (\pi d^2)/(4)= (3Mg)/(2)


T=>(350-100) (\pi d^2)/(4)= (3*1*9.81)/(2)


d^2= (3*1*9.81*4)/(2(350-100) \pi)


d=\sqrt{(3*1*9.81*4)/(2(350-100) \pi)}


d=8.657mm

therefore diameter of nozzle is mathematically given as


d=8.657mm
