Find p1, the gauge pressure at the bottom of tube 1. (Gauge pressure is the pressure in excess of outside atmospheric pressure.) Express your answer in terms of quantities given in the problem introduction and g, the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.

(a). The gauge pressure at the bottom of tube 1 is

(b).  The speed of the fluid in the left end of the main pipe

Explanation:

Given that,

Gauge pressure at bottom = p₁

Suppose, an arrangement with a horizontal pipe carrying fluid of density p . The fluid rises to heights h1 and h2 in the two open-ended tubes (see figure). The cross-sectional area of the pipe is A1 at the position of tube 1, and A2 at the position of tube 2.

Find the speed of the fluid in the left end of the main pipe.

(a). We need to calculate the gauge pressure at the bottom of tube 1

Using bernoulli equation

(b). We need to calculate the speed of the fluid in the left end of the main pipe

Using bernoulli equation

Pressure for first pipe,

.....(I)

Pressure for second pipe,

.....(II)

From equation (I) and (II)

Put the value of P₁ and P₂

....(III)

We know that,

The continuity equation

Put the value of v₂ in equation (III)

Here,

So,

Hence, (a). The gauge pressure at the bottom of tube 1 is

(b).  The speed of the fluid in the left end of the main pipe
