Time taken by pressure wave to travel Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Time Taken to Travel = 2*Length of Pipe/Velocity of Pressure Wave
t = 2*L/C
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Time Taken to Travel - (Measured in Second) - Time Taken to Travel is the total time taken by an object to reach its destination.
Length of Pipe - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Pipe describes the length of the pipe in which the liquid is flowing.
Velocity of Pressure Wave - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Velocity of pressure wave is the velocity at which the pressure wave moves in the fluid and is also referred to as the velocity of sound.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Length of Pipe: 1200 Meter --> 1200 Meter No Conversion Required
Velocity of Pressure Wave: 19.1 Meter per Second --> 19.1 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t = 2*L/C --> 2*1200/19.1

Evaluating ... ...

t = 125.65445026178

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

125.65445026178 Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

125.65445026178 ≈ 125.6545 Second <-- Time Taken to Travel

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What is meant by pressure in fluids?

Fluid pressure is a measurement of the force per unit area. Fluid pressure can be caused by gravity, acceleration, or forces in a closed container. Since a fluid has no definite shape, its pressure applies in all directions.

What is retarding force?

Retardation is the act or result of delaying and the forces that resist relative motion like air resistance or friction are called retarding forces.
