Consider the U-tube manometer shown in the figure. Both ends of the U-tube manometer is open to atmospheric pressure. The left and right arm of the manometer has a cross-sectional area A1 = 8 cm2 and A1 = 4 cm2, respectively. The left figure illustrates the U-tube when mercury (ρHg =13.6 g ⁄ cm3) is poured into it. The right figure shows the U-tube manometer when 90.0 g of water is poured in the right arm. (a) Determine the length of the water column in the right arm of the manometer and (b) the distance h the mercury rise in the left arm of the manometer.

The drawing shows a gas flowing at speed v2 through a horizontal section of pipe whose cross-sectional area is A2 = 0.0937 m2. The gas has a density of ρ = 1.30 kg/m3. The Venturi meter has a cross-sectional area of A1 = 0.0234 m2 and has been substituted for a section of the larger pipe. The pressure difference between the two sections is P2 - P1 = 149 Pa. Find (a) the speed v2 of the gas in the larger original pipe and (b) the volume flow rate Q of the gas. I posted it just now and recieved the wrong answers so i'm asking again.

- While taking a shower, you notice that the shower head is made up of 44 small round openings, each with a radius of 2.00 mm. You also determine that it takes 5.00 s for the shower to completely fill a 1.00-liter container you hold in the water stream. The water for the shower is pumped by a pump that is 5.50 m below the level of the shower head. The pump maintains an absolute pressure of 1.50 atm. Use g = 10 m/s2, and assume that 1 atmosphere is 1.0 105 Pa. (a) At what speed does the water emerge from the shower head? (b) What is the speed of the water in the pipe connected to the pump? (c) What is the cross-sectional area of the pipe connected to the pump?arrow_forwardA teenager in a large pool at a certain depth D, equipped with a full scuba gear, takes enough air from his tank to fully expand his lungs then swam up to the surface.
