What is the relationship between pressure and fluid dynamics in this problem?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on applying Bernoulli's equation to analyze the relationship between pressure and fluid dynamics in a specific problem involving fluid flow from a bottle. It suggests treating the speed of the water inside the bottle as negligible and the gauge pressure outside the nozzle as zero. The height of the water inside the bottle is considered as "-h," while the height of the nozzle is adjusted to "+h" for clarity in calculations. The work done on the liquid is described as P ΔV, which is necessary for lifting the fluid and providing kinetic energy to the stream. Understanding these relationships is crucial for solving the problem accurately.

I think Bernoulli's equation is involved in solving this problem, but past that I'm not sure what the pressure of the water inside would be or what it would be outside. Any advice appreciated, as always.

Treat the speed of the water inside the bottle as "zero." Treat the gauge pressure outside the nozzle as zero. Treat the water level inside the bottle as "-h." Go Bernoulli.

Edit: Wait, you are solving for the gauge pressure inside the bottle, so it would be more direct to have the height of the nozzle as "+h." It comes to the same thing.

The speed of the fluid inside the bottle is not exactly zero, but it is so small (and the squared value makes it smaller) that it is safe to "call" it zero.

The work done on the liquid is P \Delta V and is required to lift the fluid through the height h and impart kinetic energy to the stream.
 
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 .
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...
