The question is rather unclear, but I believe the diagram is the plan view, i.e. looking from above. (It doesn't say "45 degrees to the horizontal".)foo9008 said:Homework Statement
why z1=z2 ? isn't the position 2 is higher than position 1 ?

the height of both are not the same, right??haruspex said:The question is rather unclear, but I believe the diagram is the plan view, i.e. looking from above. (It doesn't say "45 degrees to the horizontal".)
No, I'm saying that the flow is all at the same horizontal level. Reread what I posted before.foo9008 said:the height of both are not the same, right??
if this is side view , the ther must be some value for z , right ? z can't be equal to 0 ?haruspex said:No, I'm saying that the flow is all at the same horizontal level. Reread what I posted before.
but it isn't.foo9008 said:if this is side view ,
sorry , what do you mean ? i didnt get youharuspex said:but it isn't.
It's the plan view, i.e. you are looking down onto the pipe from above. The z direction is out of the page. The flow is all on one horizontal level.foo9008 said:sorry , what do you mean ? i didnt get you
if this is a side view , then z can't be = 0 , right ?haruspex said:It's the plan view, i.e. you are looking down onto the pipe from above. The z direction is out of the page. The flow is all on one horizontal level.
If it were a side view, that would be true.foo9008 said:if this is a side view , then z can't be = 0 , right ?
Z1 and z2 refer to two different elevations, or heights, on a surface or object. Z1 typically represents the starting elevation, while z2 represents the ending elevation.
Understanding why z1 and z2 are equal in elevation is crucial for conducting accurate measurements and calculations related to elevation. It ensures that the data collected is consistent and reliable.
To solve for z1 and z2, we must first gather elevation data from multiple points and compare them. If the elevations are equal, then z1 and z2 are also equal. Additionally, we can use mathematical equations and tools, such as a level or a laser level, to determine the difference between z1 and z2.
Yes, there are several factors that can affect the accuracy of z1 and z2 being equal in elevation. These include measurement errors, changes in the surface or object over time, and discrepancies in the equipment used to measure the elevations.
Understanding and solving for equal elevations is important in a variety of fields, including construction, engineering, and surveying. It is used to ensure that buildings and structures are level and stable, to survey and map land accurately, and to design effective drainage systems.
