A U-shaped tube is open to the air at one end and closed on the other. It initially contains water. Oil is poured into the open end of the tube, to a height of 75 cm. The closed end of the tube is 25 cm above the water/oil interface on the other side (see picture).

A symmetric U-tube is open to the atmosphere at both ends. Water with a density 1x10^3 kg/m^3 is poured into a tube until the water rises halfway along the straight sides. Then some unknown liquid with a density of 8.5 x 10^2 kg/m^3 is poured into one end. This causes the water surface on that side to go down by 9mm. Calculate the height of the unknown liquid in the tube, h.
Suppose air, with a density of 1.29 kg/m3, is flowing into a Venturi meter. The narrow section of the pipe at point A has a diameter that is 1313 of the diameter of the larger section of the pipe at point B. The U-shaped tube is filled with water and the difference in height between the two sections of pipe is 2.72 cm. How fast is the air moving at point B?
A tank holds a large amount of water. A pipe is connected to the tank at the upper end and is open to the air at the lower end (see figure).The upper end of the pipe has a diameter of 17.0 cm. The lower end of the pipe has a diameter of 8.60 cm. The speed of the water at the upper end is 2.00 m/s.What is the flow rate of the water in the pipe?
A container with water is pressurized and attached to a hose. The pressure inside the container, P, is set so that when the end of the tube is 4.5 meters above the water level in the container is ejected at 3.5 m/s. The reservoir in the container is large enough that you can ignore the change in height of the water in the container. What is the pressure P in atmospheres?
A U shaped tube with diameter 2.00 cm, open to the air on both ends, contains mercury. Oil ispoured into the left arm until the oil column is 15.0 cm high. Then water is poured into the rightarm until the water column is 10.0 cm.a. On which side of the tube is the mercury level higher? Support your answer.b. What is the change in height of the mercury on both sides of the tube?c. To make the mercury return to its original level, which fluid would you have to add to thetube, and how much would you have to add (in cm cubed)?
A 0.573 kg metal cylinder is placed inside the top of a plastic tube, the lower end of which is sealed off by an adjustable plunger, and comes to rest some distance above the plunger. The plastic tube has an inner radius of 7.07 mm and is frictionless. Neither the plunger nor the metal cylinder allow any air to flow around them. If the plunger is suddenly pushed upwards, increasing the pressure between the plunger and the metal cylinder by a factor of 2.79, what is the initial acceleration of the metal cylinder? Assume the pressure outside of the tube is 1.00 atm.
A level (horizontal) pipe contains a non-viscous, incompressible fluid with a density 1200 kg/m³ that is flowing steadily. At one position within the pipe, the pressure is 300 x 103 N/m2 and the speed of the flow is 20.0 m/s. At another position, the pressure is 200 x 103 N/m². What is the speed of the flow at this second position?
