c. Experimental Error
A fluid of density 1200 kg/m³ flows out through a
2 meter diameter pipe without friction at a rate of
3000 L/s. Find the velocity of the fluid as it flows
out of the pipe, and the velocity of the fluid if the
pipe constricts to a diameter of 1 meter. Then
calculate the change in pressure (in the middle of
the pipe) between the 2 meter and 1 meter
diameter. Using the simulation (under the "Flow"
tab) determine experimental values for each of
these velocities/change in pressures and calculate
experimental error. Show your work.

Use these facts to predict the result of each experiment in the table below, if you can. experiment 35.0 mL each of Liquid A and Liquid B are poured through a funnel, and the times t and the needed to pour each liquid through the funnel are measured. Identical wire loops are dipped into Liquid A and Liquid B, so that a film of liquid forms across the loops (like the bubble solution on a child's bubble blowing wand). The width of each loop is increased slowly and the forces F and FB needed to make the loops 5% wider are measured. will be greater than t will be less than f Ot will be equal to f predicted outcome It's impossible to predict whether or fB will be greater without more information.
