What is the Difference in Pressure Between Two Points Using a Pitot Tube?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the pressure difference between two points using a pitot tube, with a height difference of 0.2m indicated. The question posed is whether the pressure difference P1 and P2 can be determined using the formula P = y(density of mercury)(g). Participants express difficulty in interpreting the provided diagram, which complicates the solution process. The main focus is on confirming the correctness of the pressure difference calculation based on the given height and fluid density. Clarity in the diagram is essential for accurate analysis and understanding.

Your diagram is a mess and can't be deciphered (at least not by me).

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 hanged 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...
