    Pipe Pressure
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on applying Bernoulli's principle to determine the relationships between pressure and velocity at various points in a pipe with varying size. The user attempts to solve a homework problem by comparing velocities and pressures at different locations, providing several answers but expressing uncertainty about their correctness. They indicate that they have made multiple attempts and are under time pressure as the assignment deadline approaches. The user seeks confirmation or guidance on their answers, emphasizing the urgency of the situation. The thread highlights the challenges students face when applying fluid dynamics concepts under tight deadlines.

Homework Statement



Use the picture as a guide. P is the pressure in the pipe, and vi is the speed of a non-viscous incompressible fluid at locations i = 1,2,3,4,5.(For each statement select correctly)

Options are: Greater than, less than and Equal to
v1 is ... 2v3.
P1 is ... P2.
P1 is ... P4.
P3 is ... P4.
v4 is ... v5.
v1 is ... v2.
P4 is ... P5.

Homework Equations



Bernoulli's: P+1/2pv^2+pgh=Constant

The Attempt at a Solution



-Equal to
-Greater than
-Greater than
-Less than
-Greater than
-Greater than
-Greater than

This is my most recent attempt. I have 20 attempts and have used 5, but I still don't see where I am going wrong here. The assignment is due at midnight and this is my last question (current time is 10:15PM), so this is my last option.

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

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 .

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

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...
