Question: Problem 2 Consider a 5 gallon bucket, with height 1 . 2 5 f t and diameter 0 . 8 3 f t . In

Problem 2 Consider a 5 gallon bucket, with height 1.25ft and diameter 0.83ft. In this problem, you will be
filling the bucket at a constant rate, while draining it through a 10ft long, 12 inch diameter tube with roughness
lon=1.510-3 inches. The tube discharges as a free jet at ground level with no exit losses. There is a fish in the
bucket.
2.3 For case (a) above (initial water level 0.25 ft), if the water in the bucket is initially dyed with a concentration
of 50 mg/ft3, determine and graph the concentration history c (t ) of the dye in the bucket. Assume that the
dye in the bucket is well mixed at all times, and that the water entering the bucket has no dye.
How long does it take for the concentration in the bucket to be reduced to 1 mg/ft3?_______________
Write out your conservation of mass equation for the dye:
As a start, populate the below spreadsheet; youll need to use your values from the previous problem.
