Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 49P
A racing car travels at 235 mph along a straightaway. The team engineer wishes to locate an air inlet on the body of the car to obtain cooling air for the driver’s suit. The plan is to place the inlet at a location where the air speed is 60 mph along the surface of the car. Calculate the static pressure at the proposed inlet location. Express the pressure rise above ambient as a fraction of the freestream dynamic pressure.

1 .The Pitot and piezometer tubes indicate the following total and static pressures: P1 = 112 kPa, P2 + ρV22 / 2 = 240 kPa (figure 2). Calculate the speed V1. All pressure drops are neglected.
Good day. I require assistance as this will help in my examination review. (Basic Aerodyn Principles)
Consider the wind tunnel shown below. The diameter at section 1 is 0.8 m and the diameter at section 2 is 0.5 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 72 m/s. Assume incompressible flow and standard sea-level conditions. Provide answer in centimeters. Round-off answer to the nearest whole number.
**Would gladly appreciate an explanation. Thank you.
