The inside diameters of the larger portions of the horizontal pipe depicted in the figure below are 2.27 cm. Water flows to the right at a rate of 1.68 ✕ 10−4 m3/s. Determine the inside diameter of the constriction. cm Water flows to the right through a horizontal pipe that starts at a particular width, then narrows, and then widens back to its original width. Two openings along the top of the pipe connect to narrow vertical tubes. The left tube is connected to a wide portion of the pipe. The height of the water in this tube, as measured from the top of the pipe to the surface of the water in the tube, is 10.0 cm. The right tube is connected to a narrow portion of the pipe. The height of the water in this tube, as measured from the top of the pipe to the surface of the water in the tube, is 5.00 cm.
Fluid Pressure
The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.
Gauge Pressure
Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem to bother anyone as the bodily fluids are constantly pushing outwards with the same force but if one swims down into the ocean a few feet below the surface one can notice the difference, there is increased pressure on the eardrum, this is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure.

- The left tube is connected to a wide portion of the pipe. The height of the water in this tube, as measured from the top of the pipe to the surface of the water in the tube, is 10.0 cm.
- The right tube is connected to a narrow portion of the pipe. The height of the water in this tube, as measured from the top of the pipe to the surface of the water in the tube, is 5.00 cm.
