The discussion revolves around verifying the calculations related to the height of an image in a film. The original poster doubts their answer, specifically questioning the conversion of a 29 m distance into centimeters and subsequently into millimeters. Participants emphasize the importance of accurate conversions and suggest re-evaluating the calculation of the image distance (d_i). It's noted that a crucial step may have been overlooked in the calculations. Accurate conversions and careful checking of all steps are essential for obtaining the correct height of the image.

Hi, I just want to check if my working is correct cuz I seems to get the wrong answer in my first attempt by inserting 0.054mm as the heigh.... the height seems a bit small to me.

Check again your conversion of the 29 m distance into cm.
And make sure you get the distance image in the last step.

All conversions were to mm.

Check your calculation of ##d_i##. There is something you forgot to do.
 
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...
