Fresh water is flowing at 8.73 m/s through a horizontal pipe that is many miles long, and it is 0.275 m above the ground. The pressure is 318 kPa and the radius of the pipe is 0.0416m. The pipe suddenly goes either up or down a hill (you will determine this) and then levels out so that it is horizontal again. The pressure is 753 kPa and the water here flows at 1.56 m/s. What is the height of the pipe at this location, and is it above or below ground level? The image below shows the general shape of the pipe.

A polar bear plunge (or swim) is an event held (usually during the winter) where participants enter a body of very cold water. In Canada, polar bear swims are usually held on New Year’s Day to celebrate the new year. At Scott Base in Antarctica, naked polar bear plunges are an annual tradition. Calculate the rate of heat conduction out of a 56.0 kg man whose surface area is 1.57 m2. The water (and therefore his skin) is at a temperature of 1.26 °C and his internal temperature is 37.2 °C. The thickness of his tissues separating these temperature regions is 1.26 cm.
