To solve the problem of calculating the rate of flow of water through a pipe using a pitot tube, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Given Data - Diameter of the pipe, \( D = 14 \, \text{cm} = 0.14 \, \text{m} \) - Radius of the pipe, \( r = \frac{D}{2} = \frac{14 \, \text{cm}}{2} = 7 \, \text{cm} = 0.07 \, \text{m} \) - Pressure difference, \( h = 20 \, \text{cm} \, \text{of water} = 0.20 \, \text{m} \) ### Step 2: Apply Bernoulli's Equation ...
