Problem 1: Water flows through a 1 cm diameter pipe with a speed of 1 m/s. What should be the diameter of the nozzle if water is to emerge at 2.1 m/s.

See Solution

Problem 2: Water is flowing smoothly through a closed pipe system. At one point the speed of water is 3.0 m/s. While at another point 3.0 m higher, the speed is 4.0 m/s. At the lower point, the pressure is 80 kpa. Find the pressure at the upper point.

Problem 8: Determine the radius of a water drop falling through air with a terminal velocity of 0.012 m/s.                                  (Viscosity of air = 0.019 * 10-3 N s m-2           Density of air = 1.2 kg/m3

                                          Density of water = 1.0 * 103 kg/m3).
