Notation in fluid dynamics: A circle with a horizontal bar inside

AI Thread Summary
The notation of a circle with a horizontal bar inside, encountered in discussions of the Venturi effect, represents the distinction between measured values and actual physical quantities due to measurement interference. This notation indicates that the pressure measurement affects the values of temperature, pressure, molar mass, density, and concentration in the fluid. The confusion arises from the way these quantities are presented in literature, particularly in the context of pressure-based meters. Additional resources, such as an engineering article on pressure-temperature compensation, may provide further clarity on this topic. Understanding this notation is crucial for accurate interpretation in fluid dynamics.

I came across this notation when reading the wiki article on Venturi effect, which baffled me. Can someone please tell me its meaning?

It is actually explained in a confusing way. The act of pressure measurement itself is interfering with the actual values of temperature T, pressure P, molar mass Μ, density ρ and concentration C of the liquid. Hence these physical quantities around the pressure-based meter have different values which are denoted with this "funny" notation.
 
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 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
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...
