A water vessel was designed to go 149 miles underwater, with the surrounding fluidhaving a density of 1,030,000 g/m^3. What is the pressure difference between theoutside and inside of the wall?
Water is flowing through a pipe of two cross sectional areas A1 and A2 lying horizontally. The pressure difference between the cross sectional areas is 0 Pa. if the velocity of water through cross sectional Area 2 is 3.25m/s2, what would be the velocity of the water through cross sectional Area 1? (hint: use Bernoulli’s equation. Remember that the pipe is horizontal meaning that height = 0m).Note: This question has been answered. Only the one below.
Using the information in question one: a) Calculate the Volume flow rate in cross sectional area 2 of the pipe if the radius of the cross section in area 2 is 2.35 m b) Calculate the Flow Rate in Area 1 if the Radius of the cross section in Area 1 is 1.25m.

If we approximate this average density to be = 1 Kg/m³, what would be height of the atmosphere? HINT: Since the atmosphere is a fluid (in gas form), you can use the hydrostatic pressure formula (P pgh), just solve for h and use P = 1 atm. BTW, this is how the edge of space is defined, if you make it pass the height of the atmosphere you have reached space :)arrow_forward
