Example A sub-marine moves horizontally in sea and has its axis 15 m below the surface of water. A pitot-tube properly placed just in front of the sub-marine and along its axis is connected to the two limbs of a U-tube containing mercury. The difference of mercury level is found t be 170 mm. Find the speed of the sub-marine knowing that the special gravity of mercury is 13.6 and that of sea-water is 1.026 with respect of fresh water.
