Concrete is pumped from a cement mixer to the place it is being laid, instead of being carried in wheelbarrows. The flow rate is 250 L/min through a 50.0 m long, 8.00 cm diameter hose, and the pressure at the pump is 8.50 ✕ 106 N/m2 (about 1200 psi).
(a) Calculate the resistance of the hose.
(b) What is the viscosity of the concrete, assuming the flow is laminar?
(c) How much power is being supplied, assuming the point of use is at the same level as the pump? You may neglect the power supplied to increase the concrete's velocity.
