Consider a U-tube whose arms are open to the atmosphere. Now water is poured into the U-tube from one arm, and light oil (? = 790 kg/m3) from the other. One arm contains 70-cm-high water, while the other arm contains both fluids with an oil-to-water height ratio of 6. Determine the height of each fluid in that arm.
aerodynamics: Determine the difference between the total pressure of an aircraft flying at sea level, and an aircraft flying at 5KM? Both have a velocity of 100m/s.
The distance between the centers of the two arms of a U-tube open to the atmosphere is 30 cm, and the U-tube contains 20 cm high alcohol in both arms. Now the U-tube is rotated about the left arm at 4.2 rad/s. Determine the elevation difference between the fluid surfaces in the tow arms.CHOICES
