4. 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 to be 170 mm. Find the
speed of the sub-marine knowing that the sp. gr. of mercury is 13.6 and that
of sea-water is 1.026 with respect of fresh water.
