1. Yves is trying to measure the pressure acting on a square platform. He has placed a mass of 30 kg on the disk and he measures the length of one side of the square as 20 cm. What is the pressure Yves should measure? (Hint: To calculate the area of the square platform, first convert the side () to meters and then use the following equation A = 12)

(a) Using Bernoulli's equation, show that be measured fluid speed v for a pitot tube, like the one in figure 14.32(b), is given by v=( 2gh)1/h , where h is be height of be manometer fluid, p' is the density of the manometer fluid, p is the density of the moving fluid, and g is be acceleration due to gravity. (Note that v is indeed proportional to the square root of h, as stated in text) (b) Calculate v for moving air if a mercury manometer's h is 0.200 m. Figure 14.32 Measurement of fluid speed on Bernoulli’s principle. (a) A manometer is connected to two tubes close together and small enough not to disturb the flow. Tube 1 is open at the end facing the flow. A dead spot having zero speed is created there. Tube 2 has an opening on the side, so the fluid has a speed v across; thus, pressure there drops. The difference in pressure at the manometer is 12v22 , so h is proportional to . 12v22 (b) This type of velocity measuring device is a Prandtl tube, also known as a pitot tube.
