Question 7 

In order to measure the air
speed in a pipe of radius R, you
construct a device which tapers
the pipe radius from R to R/2 so
that the airflow then passes over
R
R/2
one end of a U-tube filled with
water (not moving) as shown.
(Problems 6-8)
6. If the air speed on the right
side of the device (where the
pipe radius is R) is equal to vo,
find
an expression for the
airspeed on the left side (radius
R/2) in terms of vo.
7. The difference in water height between the left and right side of the U-tube is 9.6 m. Find a value
for the difference in pressure between the two sides.
