(a) Using Bernoulli's equation, show that be measured fluid speed v for a pitot tube, like the one in figure 14.32(b), is given by v=( 2gh)1/h , where h is be height of be manometer fluid, p' is the density of the manometer fluid, p is the density of the moving fluid, and g is be acceleration due to gravity. (Note that v is indeed proportional to the square root of h, as stated in text) (b) Calculate v for moving air if a mercury manometer's h is 0.200 m. Figure 14.32 Measurement of fluid speed on Bernoulli’s principle. (a) A manometer is connected to two tubes close together and small enough not to disturb the flow. Tube 1 is open at the end facing the flow. A dead spot having zero speed is created there. Tube 2 has an opening on the side, so the fluid has a speed v across; thus, pressure there drops. The difference in pressure at the manometer is 12v22 , so h is proportional to . 12v22 (b) This type of velocity measuring device is a Prandtl tube, also known as a pitot tube.

The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (heaviness) test is often used for a blood sample as a diagnosis of the body's immune disorders and some other diseases. Assuming that the red blood cells are about a sphere of diameter ( 5 um ) and density ( g / ml 1.125 ) and the density and viscosity of the plasma in which the red blood cells are settled (Pa.s), (1025 kg / m3 10-3 x 1.5) respectively The acceleration m / s 9.81 Calculate the rate of sedimentation (settling speed) of red blood cells.
An aquatic organism needs to be neutrally buoyant to stay at a constant depth. Fish accomplish this with an internal swim bladder they can fill with air that they take in from the water through their gills. One complication is that the pressure in the swim bladder matches that of the surrounding water, but the water pressure changes with depth. Because the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to pressure (as you may already know if you have studied the ideal-gas law), the volume of air in a fish's swim bladder decreases with depth unless the fish actively adds more air.
Solve the following problem. Round off the final answer to three decimal places. The density of silver is 10.50 g/cm^3. If 5.50 g of pure silver pellets are added to a graduated cylinder containing 11.0 mL of water, to what volume will the water in the cylinder rise?
Topic: dimensional analysis As part of a development programme, scale model tests have been carried out on a new hydraulic machine. The experimental team have presented the following data. Thrust force F (MLT-2), the flow velocity v, viscosity µ (ML-1T-1) and density ρ of the fluid. A typical size of the system, l, is also given. Use dimensional analysis to find the formula that relate F to the other given quantities.
A very simple way of measuring the depth of a fluid in a gas station's underground gasoline tank is by using a pressure gauge that measures gauge pressure. Assume the fluid in the tank is gasoline with a density of 700 kg/m3 and g = 9.80 m/s2. If the gauge pressure is 25.9 kPa what is the depth of the gasoline in the tank? Assume 3 significant digits. Watch the units! A. 3.78 cm B. 37.8 m C. 0.378 m D. 3.78 m E. 3.78 mm
A fluid sits in a tank whose top is open to atmosphere . This fluid has a density that increases linearly as a function of depth p = Po + ay , where Po is the density at the top of the fluid and a is a measure of how that fluid's density changes as a function of height. Which of the following is the correct functional form for gauge pressure as a function of depth? Choice A: (po + ay) gh Choice B: PogY Choice C: Pogy +agy? () gu Potay GY Choice D:

A straightforward method of finding the density of an object is to measure its mass and then measure its volume by submerging it in a graduated cylinder. What is the density (in g/cm3) of a 260 grock that displaces 75.0 cm3 of water? (Note that the accuracy and practical applications of this technique are more limited than a variety of others that are based on Archimedes' principle.) g/cm3
