(a) Show that the flow speed measured by a venturi meter (see Fig. 10-29) is given by the relation
\({{\bf{v}}_{\bf{1}}}{\bf{ = }}{{\bf{A}}_{\bf{2}}}\sqrt {\frac{{{\bf{2}}\left( {{{\bf{P}}_{\bf{1}}}{\bf{ - }}{{\bf{P}}_{\bf{2}}}} \right)}}{{{\bf{\rho }}\left( {{\bf{A}}_{\bf{1}}^{\bf{2}}{\bf{ - A}}_{\bf{2}}^{\bf{2}}} \right)}}} \).
(b) A venturi meter is measuring the flow of water; it has a main diameter of \({\bf{3}}{\bf{.5\;cm}}\) tapering down to a throat diameter of \({\bf{1}}{\bf{.0\;cm}}\). If the pressure difference is measured to be \({\bf{18\;mm - Hg}}\), what is the speed of the water entering the venturi throat?
(I)Show that Bernoulli鈥檚 equation reduces to the hydrostatic variation of pressure with depth (Eq. 10-3b) when there is no flow\(\left( {{v_1} = {v_2} = 0} \right)\).
Because gasoline is less dense than water, drums containing gasoline will float in water. Suppose a 210-L steel drum is completely full of gasoline. What can the total volume of steel be used in making the drum if the gasoline-filled drum is to float in freshwater?
(II)What is the lift (in newtons) due to Bernoulli鈥檚 principle on a wing of area\(88\;{{\rm{m}}^2}\)if the air passes over the top and bottom surfaces at speeds of 280 m/s and 150 m/s, respectively?
(II) (a) Determine the total force and the absolute pressure on the bottom of a swimming pool 28.0 m by 8.5 m whose uniform depth is 1.8 m. (b) What will be the pressure against the side of the pool near the bottom?
