Hi Folks, I am exploring using Ultrasonic for LGP tank level measurement. I went through lots of readings, in particular use of SRF02 sensor. But, It's not conclusive. Anyone has been exposed to solving such problem? If yes, kindly share return on your experience. Appreciate!

Consider water waves refraction in a ripple tank. What happen if we increased the ripple frequency. I mean the refraction angle would change or not? Also, propagation speed will change or not? I had seen a photograph in PSSC Physics. According to that, the refraction angle was reducing if we...

I was not really sure as to whether to ask this question here or the h/w forum as its something I am personally trying to understand. However, I shall let the admin decided. The question comes from a book called : . The specific question I have an issue with is not the question itself but the...

I assume the water to start flowing from rest at position 1, hence ##v_1 = 0##. Applying the continuity equation, ##A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2##, we find the (wrong) result that the velocity at position 2 is ##v_2 = 0## also! (We assume that ##A_2## is small but finite) Hence, to answer the question...
