An air tube is open at both ends and contains constriction connected on both sides by a channel
of mercury.
a. What do you know about the air speed of the air flowing through the tube at this instant?
b. At time t later, the air speed is known to flow through the tube
from left to right at a rate of 1200 cm³/s. Draw three air
streamlines through the tube. Interpret what these lines are
telling you about the fluid moving through the tube.

The pressure at the bottom of a tank of oil (s=0.80) is 410 kPa.
Determine the equivalent head in meters of oil.
Calculate the equivalent head in meters of water.
Evaluate the equivalent head in meters of mercury.
Good day. I require assistance as this will help in my examination review. (Basic Aerodyn Principles)
Consider the wind tunnel shown below. The diameter at section 1 is 0.8 m and the diameter at section 2 is 0.5 m. A manometer is used to determine the pressure difference between the two sections. The manometer liquid has a specific gravity of 0.82. Determine the change in height in the manometer if the velocity at section 2 is 72 m/s. Assume incompressible flow and standard sea-level conditions. Provide answer in centimeters. Round-off answer to the nearest whole number.
