A liquid of density 900Kg/m 3 flows through a horizontal pipe that has a cross-sectional area of 1.90 x 10-2 m2 in region A and a cross-sectional area of 9.50 x 10-2 m2 in region B. The pressure difference between the two regions is 7.20 x 103 Pa. What are the volumetric flow rate and themass flow rate? Where is the flow speed higher? Where is the pressure higher?
If an incompressible fluid has a volume flow rate of 0.9 m3/s, what will its speed be if it passes through an opening with a cross-sectional area of 1.8 m2?
Hint: This is Week 2! Think about what the units of speed are.
A water vessel was designed to go 149 miles underwater, with the surrounding fluidhaving a density of 1,030,000 g/m^3. What is the pressure difference between theoutside and inside of the wall?
