Conceptual question about currents and pumps

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around understanding currents and pressures in the context of pumps and fluid dynamics. The energy density equation is applied to analyze the relationship between pressure, potential energy, and kinetic energy. Participants express uncertainty about whether current remains constant and if velocities differ, leading to confusion about the implications for pressure. One contributor suggests that pressures are equal when measuring at the same height, supporting this with the energy density equation. The conversation highlights the complexities of fluid dynamics and the need for clarity on how different variables interact.

Homework Equations



I suppose the energy density equation applies here:

(P2-P1) + pg(y2-y1) + 1/2p(v2^2 - v1^2) = Epump/vol - IR

and

I = Av

The Attempt at a Solution



My initial thought was that the current is the same. But then, since current is Av, I was second guessing myself that maybe the velocities are different. Any help's appreciated!

My guess was that the sewer gas is less than 1 ATM.

My guess is that the pressures are the same. Using the same energy density equation on the first post, I could eliminate the KE, Epump, and IR. That leaves the pressure and the PE. Since it's measuring the same height, the pressure's the same. Is this correct?
 
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...
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...
