Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around Torricelli's theorem and the reasoning behind using atmospheric pressure as equal for two points in the context of fluid dynamics. Participants are exploring the relationship between fluid pressure and atmospheric pressure within the framework of Bernoulli's Principle.

Discussion Character

  • Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants question the necessity of considering atmospheric pressure in the derivation of Torricelli's theorem and discuss the implications of fluid pressure in this context. There is an exploration of how Bernoulli's Principle relates to the theorem.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants raising questions about the assumptions made in the theorem. Some guidance has been offered regarding the relationship between fluid pressure and atmospheric pressure, but no consensus has been reached.

Contextual Notes

There appears to be some confusion regarding the role of atmospheric pressure in the theorem, indicating a need for further clarification on the assumptions involved in the derivation.

Homework Statement



In torricellis theorem why we take P1=p2=atmospheric pressure?

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution

 
Physics news on Phys.org
Torricelli is a special case of Bernoulli's Principle. You must look at the total pressure (fluid + atmospheric) which acts.
 
so what must be the pressure of the fluid?
