    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 'Errors and significant figures'

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 'Calculation of Tensile Forces in Piston-Type Water-Lifting Devices at Elevated Locations'

Figure 1 Overall Structure Diagram Figure 2: Top view of the piston when it is cylindrical A circular opening is created at a height of 5 meters above the water surface. Inside this opening is a sleeve-type piston with a cross-sectional area of 1 square meter. The piston is pulled to the right at a constant speed. The pulling force is（Figure 2）： F = ρshg = 1000 × 1 × 5 × 10 = 50,000 N. Figure 3: Modifying the structure to incorporate a fixed internal piston When I modify the piston...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

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...
