Thanks :)
That's the assigment, to figure-out at which pressure does the last leftover bubble gets flushes out, if that's what happens and it doesn't get trapped in the tube, given the tube's geometry.
DaveE:
I think we all need a better description of the problem. As is, the answer seems obvious to me, x=0 as berkeman said above. That makes me think I don't really understand your question.
Perhaps as a point of clarification: If the water fully fills the tube ("displaced") where does the air...
sojsail:
As per the statement of the assignment the hole is infinitely long = deep. Just condirmed it is also infinitely wide too.
The tube is vertically submerged in the hole.
berkeman:
Thanks for the welcome!
"Why would the open top of the tube need to be submerged to some depth? As long as water can run into it, it seems like the tube will eventually fill up."
My guess is there is a determined pressure (depth = head pressure) at which air gets FULLY displaced by...
Hi everyone,
I'm working on a first-year college assingment and need some help with it.
I need to figure out how deep does a tube, initially filled with air, need to be submerged into water in order get fully filled, meaning in order for the air to be fully displaced by water.
The tube is 1/2...
