QUESTION:

Two very large open tanks A and F (Fig. P12.93) contain the same liquid. A horizontal pipe BCD, having a constriction at C and open to the air at D, leads out of the bottom of tank A, and a vertical pipe E opens into the constriction at C and dips into the liquid in tank F. Assume streamline flow and no viscosity. If the cross-sectional area at C is one-half the area at D and if D is a distance \(h_1\) below the level of the liquid in A, to what height \(h_2\) will liquid rise in pipe E? Express your answer in terms of \(h_1\).

ANSWER:

Solution 93P

Step 1 of 4:

  • At point D, let the absolute pressure be , area be  and the atmospheric pressure be  . The height of the water level is given to be   and the density of water .

Hence the pressure at point D is,

                                                 =        +

Speed of water at D,
