At one point in a pipeline the water's speed is 3.00 m/sand the gauge pressure is 5.00×10^4 Pa
a)
Find the gauge pressure at a second point in the line, 11.0 mm lower than the first, if the pipe diameter at the second point is twice that at the first.
Express your answer in kilopascals.
The first solution shows that the formula is summed and multiplied in parentheses, but when applying the formula, it is multiplied and added. Can you check this is an error?
Graph below represents the force on a 12 kg air mass as it passes through a jet engine. Immediately after entering the engine, the force is 9,039 N, and the force tapers linearly to zero once the air reaches the back of the engine 2.3 m later. If the air enters the engine with velocity 252 m/s, what is its exit velocity?
(Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 14.3225)
