Bernoulli's Principle with a Venturi Tube, find flow rate

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on applying Bernoulli's Principle to a Venturi tube problem, specifically in determining flow rates. The user expresses confusion about how to approach the calculations without knowing specific variables like A1, V1, and A2. It is noted that A1 is three times A2, but the user is unsure how to utilize this information. The importance of using Bernoulli's equation alongside the principle of mass flow conservation is emphasized for solving the problem. Understanding these concepts is crucial for accurately calculating flow rates in the Venturi tube scenario.

So that's the question and I'm stuck on Part b. I don't even know how to approach it. I know A1= 3A2 but I don't know A1 and I need V2 and I don't know V1 or A2. I'm just confused as to how to do this. Please help!

Are you aware of Bernoulli's equation? You mention Bernoulli in the title but don't quote the equation.
 
I understand the equation ρgy1+ (1/2)v1^2 + P1 =ρgy2+ (1/2)v2^2 + P2 but I do not understand how to apply it to this

You need one more equation, based on the fact that mass flow within all parts of the venturi tube is constant.
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Figure 1 Overall Structure Diagram Figure 2: Top view of the piston when it is cylindrical A circular opening is created at a height of 5 meters above the water surface. Inside this opening is a sleeve-type piston with a cross-sectional area of 1 square meter. The piston is pulled to the right at a constant speed. The pulling force is（Figure 2）： F = ρshg = 1000 × 1 × 5 × 10 = 50,000 N. Figure 3: Modifying the structure to incorporate a fixed internal piston When I modify the piston...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
