Liquid kerosene flows through a venturi meter, as shown in fig. p1.36. the pressure of the kerosene in the pipe supports columns of kerosene that differ in height by 12 cm. determine the difference in pressure between points a and b, in kpa. does the pressure increase or decrease as the kerosene flows from point a to point b as the pipe diameter decreases? the atmospheric pressure is 101 kpa, the specific volume of kerosene is 0.00122 m3/kg, and the acceleration of gravity is g 5 9.81 m/s2.

where is the photo and the answer choices?

russian is not my first language, so i'm afraid i can't write out an answer in russian, but hopefully you can find a way to do so. here's my best translation of the problem: you're given a plot of a particle's position in one-dimensional space over time, and you're asked to find either the total distance traveled by the particle after 6 seconds had elapsed, or the total displacement of the particle after 6 seconds.

if you want the total distance traveled, you would first need to determine the particle's velocity as a function of time, then integrate that over the 6-second interval. we know the position function is quadratic with roots at 0 and 6, so we have

where is unknown. because the position is parabolic, there is symmetry about the midpoint at , and we know that

so that the position function is

which means the velocity is

then the total distance traveled is

so the total distance traveled is 20 m.

on the other hand, if you want to find displacement: the particle starts at and ends at , so its displacement is 0.
