2.(25%) A sand-water slurry is pumped continuously through a 0.5 m diameter opening at the bottom of a barge into a lake. The jet velocity is 2 m/s and the waste material has a relative density of 1.05. The discharge produce a line thermal of negatively buoyant material as the vessel is moving with a velocity of 0.5 m/s relative to the lake water. (a) Find the buoyancy force per unit length of the line thermal. (b) Assuming that the radius of thermal, R, spreading at a rate of \beta =0.34 in proportional to the vertical velocity, w = dz/dt,
dR/dt =beta dz/dt, R = beta depth, mass = pi*beta*z=pi*r^2
find the velocity and radius of the cloud after the sand-water mixture has reached a depth of 20 m below the water surface.
