Is My Method for Calculating Pressure Difference in a Venturi Meter Correct?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the pressure difference in a venturi meter, specifically using a setup with a 25cm inlet and a 15cm throat, where a manometer shows a 12mm mercury displacement. Key equations referenced include Bernoulli's principle, mass continuity, and the hydrostatic pressure formula. The user seeks confirmation on the correctness of their method for determining the pressure difference, as they have no access to answers from a past paper. Urgency is expressed due to an upcoming exam, highlighting the need for clarity on the calculation. The thread emphasizes the importance of understanding fluid dynamics principles in practical applications.

Homework Statement


Water flows through a venturi meter, with an inlet diameter of 25cm and a throat diameter of 15cm. The pressure difference is measured using a manometer, which displaces the mercury by 12mm on the throat side.


Homework Equations


Bernoulli's
Mass continuity
P=rho.g.h

Is this correct? I have no answers available as its from a past paper. My exam is tommorow and I would just like to clarify that the method I have used to find the pressure difference is correct.

Thanks.

No one able to help with this?

My exam is tommorow morning and I wouldn't mind some closure on my quiery.

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'

Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
