Calculating Doppler Frequency Shift for Ultrasonic Waves

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the Doppler frequency shift for ultrasonic waves given a frequency of 5 MHz, a target velocity of 0.1 m/s, and an angle of 60 degrees. The relevant equation used is f = 2 * vr * fs * cos / c. While the answer appears correct, it does not adhere to the rules of significant digits, as the inputs have only one significant figure. Therefore, the final answer should be expressed as 3 x 10^2 Hz to reflect the proper significant figures. Overall, the calculation is mostly accurate, but attention to significant digits is necessary.

Looks ok, except that it violates the usual rules of significant digits. Since the given frequency and speed have only one such the answer should be given as ##3\times 10^2##Hz. On the other hand, the question setter might not have intended that.
 
If have close pipe system with water inside pressurized at P1= 200 000Pa absolute, density 1000kg/m3, wider pipe diameter=2cm, contraction pipe diameter=1.49cm, that is contraction area ratio A1/A2=1.8 a) If water is stationary(pump OFF) and if I drill a hole anywhere at pipe, water will leak out, because pressure(200kPa) inside is higher than atmospheric pressure (101 325Pa). b)If I turn on pump and water start flowing with with v1=10m/s in A1 wider section, from Bernoulli equation I...
