A jet of air from a nozzle is blown at right angles against a wall in which two pressure taps are located. A manometer connected to the tap directly in front of the jet shows a head of 25 mm of mercury above atmospheric. Determine the approximate speed of the air leaving the nozzle if it is at −10°C and 200 kPa. At the second tap a manometer indicates a head of 5 mm of mercury above atmospheric; what is the approximate speed of the air there?
