Consider water with negligible viscosity flowing in a channel as shown in the figure. The heights of the above the two parts of the channel give the gauge pressure of the fluid flowing in that portion of the channel below. The larger diameter of the channel is given by D1=3.7 cm and the smaller diameter is D2=1.2 cm . what is The speed of the water flowing in the smaller channel with diameter D2 is m/s?
Fluid Pressure
The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.
Gauge Pressure
Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem to bother anyone as the bodily fluids are constantly pushing outwards with the same force but if one swims down into the ocean a few feet below the surface one can notice the difference, there is increased pressure on the eardrum, this is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure.
