Question

Old faithful geyser in yellow stone park erupt at approximately 1 hour interval, and the height of the fountain reaches 33.4 m consider the rising stream as a series of

separate drops analyze the free fall motion of one of the drops to determined the speed at which the water leaves the ground.

(a). m/s

(b) Treat the rising stream as an ideal fluid in steam line flow, Use Bernoulli Equation to determined the speed of the water as it leaves ground level ? m/s

(c) What is the pressure (above atmospheric pressure ) in the heated under ground chamber 174m below the vent? You may assume the chamber is large

compared with the geyser vent also assume in the ground chamber is at rest /? mpa
