2- The density of a liquid is to be determined by an old 1-cm-diameter cylindrical hydrometer whose division marks are completely wiped out. The hydrometer is first dropped in water, and the water level is marked. The hydrometer is then dropped into the other liquid, and it is observed that the mark for water has risen S cm above the liquid-air interface. If the height of the original water mark is 12.7 cm, determine the density of the liquid. S(cm)=0.95 Unknown liquid Mark for water Scm
The Venturi meter shown in the sketch below, contracts the flow down to one quarter of its original area. Cold air at 0 deg C flows in the pipe through the Venturi meter. The velocity of the air upstream of the Venturi meter is equal to 40 ft/s and the pressure at the same point is equal to 30 psia. What is the manometer reading if the fluid of the manometer is water with density 1000 kg/m3 . Assume that the air behaves as an ideal gas with molecular weight equal to Mw=29 kg/kmol and constant density evaluated at upstream conditions. Use Bernoulli's equation for your calculations. please respond asap!
