wo very large open tanks A and F contain the same fluid. A horizontal tube BCD, with a constriction at C and open to the air at D, exits from the bottom of tank A. A vertical tube E leads into the constriction and descends into the fluid of tank F. Assume streamline flow and zero viscosity. If the cross-sectional area at C is half of the area at D, and if D is at a distance h1 below the liquid level in A, to what height will the liquid rise in tube E
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.

A vertical tube E leads into the constriction and descends into the fluid of tank F. Assume streamline flow and zero viscosity. If the cross-sectional area at C is half of the area at D, and if D is at a distance h1 below the liquid level in A, to what height will the liquid rise in tube E?
