Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 48P
A mercury barometer is carried in a car on a day when there is no wind. The temperature is 20°C and the corrected barometer height is 761 mm of mercury. One window is open slightly as the car travels at 105 km/hr. The barometer reading in the moving car is 5 mm lower than when the car is stationary. Explain what is happening. Calculate the local speed of the air flowing past the window, relative to the automobile.

Consider an airplane flying with a velocity of 60 ft/s at a standard sea level conditions. At a point on the wing, the airflow velocity is 70 ft/s. Calculate the pressure at this point.
The reading of a pitot tube in air is 16 mm Hg at a speed of 210 km/hr. What will it read at 750 km/hr?
Consider the wind tunnel shown below. The diameter at section 1 is 0.9 m and the diameter at section 2 is 0.4 m. A
manometer is used to determine the pressure difference between the two sections. The manometer liquid has a
specific gravity of 0.82. Determine the change in height in the manometer if the velocity at section 2 is 66 m/s. Assume
incompressible flow and standard sea-level conditions. Provide answer in centimeters. Round-off answer to the nearest
whole number.
