Concept explainers
Flow rates of water The speed at which water travels in a pipe can be measured by directing the flow through an elbow and measuring the higher to which it spurts out the top. If the elbow height is 10cm, the equation relating the height h (in centimeters) of the water above the elbow and its velocity v (in centimeter per second) is given by
Solve this equation for h and graph the result, using the velocity as the independent variable.
