Mercury is poured into a tall glass. Ethyl alcohol (which doesnot mix with mercury) is then poured on top of the mercury until theheight of the ethyl alcohol itself is 110 cm. The air pressure at the top ofthe ethyl alcohol is one atmosphere. What is the absolute pressure at apoint that is 7.10 cm below the ethyl alcohol–mercury interface?*98.

The pressure due to the fluid is given by P= h d g where, h is the depth, d is the density and g…

A submersible vehicle is in ocean at a depth of 26.2 m. What is the absolute pressure (in Pa) at this depth? The density of the water in the ocean is 1.00 X 103 kg/m³, and the air above is at a pressure of 101.3 kPa. Submit your answer in exponential form.
An outdoor, rectangular pool on campus is 4.5 meters [m] in width and 7.5 meters [m] in length. You may assume the depth of the pool is constant. If the pool is filled with pure water, the total pressure probe at the bottom of the pool reads 16.5 pound-force per square inch [psi]. What is the volume of the water in the pool in units of kiloliters [kL]? Length Force Mass Pressure 1 ft=12 in 1 N=0.225 lbf 1 kg=2.205 lbm 1 atm=101325 Pa 1 in=2.54 cm 1 slug = 14.5939 kg 1 atm=14.7 psi 1 m=3.28 ft Density of water=1000 kg/m3 Surface pressure=1 atm
A Venturi meter is a device for measuring the speed of a fluid within a pipe. The drawing shows a gas flowing at speed v2 through a horizontal section of pipe whose cross-sectional area is A2 = 0.0937 m2. The gas has a density of ρ = 1.30 kg/m3. The Venturi meter has a cross-sectional area of A1 = 0.0234 m2 and has been substituted for a section of the larger pipe. The pressure difference between the two sections is P2 - P1 = 149 Pa. Find (a) the speed v2 of the gas in the larger original pipe and (b) the volume flow rate Q of the gas. I posted it just now and recieved the wrong answers so i'm asking again. The answers are not A) 1.87 and B) 0.157.
