Explain the relationship between vorticity and rotationality.
In the following section, at least 2 to up to 5 answers may be correct.
1) For a fluid, the assumption (simplifying notion) of incompressibility has important consequences:
Pascal’s principle: a change of pressure in an enclosed fluid at rest is transmitted undiminished to all points in the fluid.
pressure changes are transmitted immediately from one place to another.
the speed of sound then is infinite (just within this approximation).
pressure becomes unpredictable.
none of the above.
2)
Archimedes’ principle can be summarized as:
an immersed object is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces.
a bathtub is fun, and may lead to important physical discoveries regarding the volume of an object and how much water it displaces, and the weight of that amount of water.
boats swim because of the work done by sailors.
submarines are always doomed.
fish swim because they are less heavy than water
3) A…
Explain why there is an “extra” term in the Bernoulli equation in a rotating reference frame.

- A tripod holding a nozzle, which directs a 5-cmdiameter stream of water from a hose, is shown. The nozzle mass is 10 kg when filled with water. The tripod is rated to provide 1800 N of holding force. A firefighter was standing 60 cm behind the nozzle and was hit by the nozzle when the tripod suddenly failed and released the nozzle. You have been hired as an accident reconstructionist and, after testing the tripod, have determined that as water flow rate increased, it did collapse at 1800 N. In your final report you must state the water velocity and the flow rate consistent with the failure and the nozzle velocity when it hit the firefighter.
