- The bottom of a river has a 4-m-high bump that approximates a Rankine half-body, as in Fig. The pressure at point B on the bottom is 130 kPa, and the river velocity is 2.5 m/s. Use inviscid theory to estimate the water pressure at point A on the bump, which is 2 m above point B.arrow_forwardsolveeee very very fast in 15 min | I need a clear answer by hand, not by keyboard and thabk u | dybalaarrow_forwardThe answer is handwritten and step by steparrow_forward
