Question
An unknown liquid flows smoothly through a 6.0-m-diameter horizontal tube where the pressure gradient is 800 Pa/m. Then the tube diameter gradually shrinks to 3.0 m.
What is the pressure gradient in this narrower portion of the tube in kPa/m?
Express your answer in kilopascals per meter.

- You come across an open container that is filled with two liquids. Since the two liquids have different densities, there is a distinct separation between them. Water, which has a density of ?w=1.00×103 kg/m3, fills the lower portion of the container to a depth of 0.215 m. The fluid that is floating on top of the water is 0.307 m deep. If the absolute pressure on the bottom of the container is 1.049×105 Pa, what is the density, ?l, of the unknown fluid? The acceleration due to gravity is ?=9.81 m/s2 and atmospheric pressure is ?0=1.013×105 Pa.arrow_forwardWater flows with a constant speed through a pipe of constant cross-sectional area in the ground floor (y1=0m) of a house.
