AI Generated Solution

To find the airspeed of the aircraft using the differential pressure measured by the pitot tube, we can apply Bernoulli's equation. Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem The pitot tube measures a differential pressure of 150 Pa, and the density of air is given as 0.031 kg/m³. We need to find the airspeed of the aircraft. ### Step 2: Apply Bernoulli's Equation For a pitot tube, we can use the simplified form of Bernoulli’s equation that relates the pressure difference to the velocity of the fluid (air in this case). ...

A pitot tube Fig. is used to determine the air speed of an airplane. It consists of an outer tube with a number of small holes B (four are shown that allow air into the tube, that tube is connected to one arm of a U-tube. The other arm of the U-tube is connected to hole A at the front end of the device, which points in the direction the plane is headed. At A the air becomes stagnant so that v_(A) = 0. At B, however, the speed of the air presumably equals the airspeed v of the plane. (a) Use Bernoulli's equation to show that v = sqrt((2rho gh)/(rho_(air))) where rho is the density of the liquid in the U-tube and his the difference in the liquid levels in that tube. (b) Suppose that the tube contains alcohol and the level difference h is 20.0 cm. What is the plane's speed relative to the air? The density of the air is 1.03 kg//m^(3) and that of alcohol is 810 kg/ m^(3)

The figure shows a crude type of perfume atomizer. When bulb at A is compressed, air flows swifty through the tiny BC with uniform speed v , there by causing a reduced pressure at the position of verticall tube DE .

When bulb is in natural position the air in the bulb and tube are at atmospheric pressure P_(0=15)^(5)N//m^(2) . When bulb A is compressed, it creates an exces pressure Deltap=0.001P_(0) inside the bulb A . Density of air is 1.3 kg//m^(3) .
