SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on a confusion regarding the application of the Venturi meter in a test scenario. The user confirms that their calculations align with the solution provided in the textbook, yet the multiple-choice answers presented in the test do not match. Other participants suggest that the teacher may have made an error in the answer choices, specifically regarding the ratios of areas (A2/A1 or A1/A2) versus diameters (D2/D1 or D1/D2). This indicates a potential miscommunication in the formulation of the test questions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of fluid dynamics principles
  • Familiarity with the Venturi effect
  • Knowledge of area and diameter ratios in fluid flow
  • Basic mathematical skills for solving equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of the Venturi meter and its applications
  • Study the derivation of the continuity equation in fluid dynamics
  • Explore common mistakes in interpreting fluid dynamics problems
  • Review the differences between area and diameter ratios in flow calculations
USEFUL FOR

Students studying fluid dynamics, educators preparing test materials, and professionals involved in hydraulic engineering or related fields.

and I got the following result (which is the same in the book's solution book):

but in my test I can only choose one of these:

I would like to know if there is a mistake by my teacher or if it is possible to obtain one of these multiple choice alternatives.

Thanks!:smile:

I agree with your answer. None of the choices can be made to agree with your answer. So, you might ask your teacher about it. In the choices, maybe the teacher meant to write ##A_2/A_1## instead of ##D_2/D_1##, or write ##A_1/A_2## intstead of ##D_1/D_2. ##
