A siphon pipe of diameter 250 mm contracts to a diameter of 100 mm over a vertical distance of 5 m before emptying into a river. If the pipe is full of water flowing at 0.1 m/s at the 250 mm section, what is the absolute pressure at this point, and what is the water velocity just before it vents into the river? You should assume the pipe to be frictionless and take atmospheric pressure to be 100 kPa.

If a jet is inclined upward 30 degrees from the horizontal, what must be its velocity to reach over 3m wall at a horizontal distance 18m, neglecting friction?
A very popular toy on the market several years ago was the water rocket. Water (at 10°C) was loaded into a plastic rocket and pressurized with a hand pump. The rocket was released and would travel a considerable distance in the air. Assume that a water rocket has a mass of 50 g and is charged with 100 g of water. The pressure inside the rocket is 100 kPa gage. The exit area is one-tenth of the chamber crosssectional area. The inside diameter of the rocket is 5 cm. Assume that Bernoulli's equation is valid for the water flow inside the rocket. Neglecting air friction, calculate the maximum velocity it will attain. 5 cm PROBLEM 6.90 100 kPa

Consider a length of pipe bent into a U-shape. The inside diameter of thepipe is 0.5 m. Air enters one leg of the pipe at a mean velocity of 100 m/sand exits the other leg at the same magnitude of velocity, but moving inthe opposite direction. The pressure of the flow at the inlet and exit is theambient pressure of the surroundings. Calculate the magnitude anddirection of the force exerted on the pipe by the airflow. The air densityis 1.23 kg/m3.

Air having density p = 0.981 kg/m³ is flowing in a wind tunnel. A differential manometer connected to a pitot tube is used to measure the dynamic pressure of the air at the pitot tube location.

In a horizontal pipe water flows at a rate of 9.1 L/s. Here, the pipe has two sections, one with a diameter of 10.16 cm and the other with a diameter of 5.08 cm, with a gradual smooth reducing section. In this case, a mercury manometer is used to measure the pressure difference. If friction is negligible how would I find the differential height of mercury between the two sections? If the manometer on the 5.08cm pipe section was replaced with a pitot tube how would the reading change? any help would be deeply appreciated
