The cylinders all have a hole drilled in their sides; the holes are all me same size and are all located at the same height above the bases of the cylinders. The holes are plugged with rubber stoppers, The values of D and k for the six cylinders are provided. Rank the combinations according to the pressure excited by the water on the stopper from largest to smallest. If two (or more) combinations yield the same pressure, give them the same ranking. Explain the reasoning you used in arriving at your rankings. (a) D = 0.25 m; k = 0.40 m. (b) D = 0.20 in; h = 0,50 m. (c) D = 0.50 m; h = 0.35 m. (d) D = 0.25 m; h = 0.35 m.

It can be shown that the reciprocal of hydrostatic balance also applies. That is Equation -2 дz Әр = -Pg, = 1 pg Use the ideal gas law (p = pRT, where R is the gas constant for dry air and Tis temperature) to eliminate p from (2). (2) Under geostrophic balance, the following balance is approximately satisfied Equation -3 fu=-g ¹ (3) where f is the Coriolis parameter, u is the zonal wind, y is meridional distance and z is altitude. (Note that the derivative on the right hand side is taken at constant pressure.) Differentiate (3) with respect to p, and use your expression from part 1 to obtain an expression relating du/ap and T/ay. This expression is called "thermal wind balance".arrow_forward
