3. A segment of a pipe of varying diameter is shown in the figure. The pipe continues to the left and right of the segment that is shown. Water is flowing through the pipe at a rate of 17.0 L/s from point 1, where the diameter of the pipe is 10.0 cm, to point 2 which is 9.7 cm above point 1 and where the speed of the water is 4.32 m/s. (1 m³ = 1000 L) Point 2 9.7 cm Point I a) What is the speed of the water, in m/s, at point 1? b) What is the diameter of the pipe, in cm, at point 2? c) What is the difference in pressure between the two points? P, - P, =
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.
I reallynneed help with this, thank you in advance!
