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 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
