**Physics of Fluid Pressure in a Glass****Scenario:**Consider a glass of water that is 10 cm tall. Set the bottom of the glass, where it touches the table, to be the origin (0 cm), and the top of the water to be y = 10 cm. **Question:**Where is the pressure the largest?**Explanation:**Pressure in a fluid increases with depth. In this scenario, the pressure is largest at the bottom of the glass (y = 0 cm) due to the weight of the water above.

ECIDO Consider a liquid (p = 1 kg/m³,) in a large bottle. It flows through a rather thin tube and come out of the tube at D.

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 large storage tank, open at the top to the atmospheric pressure (P1 = P0) and filled with water, develops a small hole in its side at a point below the water level. Since the area of the tank is much greater than the area of the small hole, it can be assumed that the velocity of the water at the surface of the tank (v1) is equal to 0. In other words the level of the water in the tank is assumed not to change although there is a leak. If the water leaving the hole from the leak to the open air (P2=P0) does so at a speed of 55.8 km/h, how far below the water level in metres was the hole? (to two decimal places) Assume that g = 9.81 ms-2 and the hole is circular and that Bernoulli's equation applies. this is all the information i was given
You place an open bottle filled with olive oil (density 880 kg/m^3) in a container filled with water so that the surfaces of both liquids are at the same level. The bottle has a hole in it 18cm below the surface that is initially closed with adhesive tape, as shown in (Figure 1). Determine the vertical distance Δh between the oil surface and water surface after the tape is removed and the equilibrium is reached. Assume that the volume of water is much greater than the volume of olive oil, so that the decrease in the water level is negligible.
