Two pipes move the same amount of ideal fluid in the same amount of time. One pipe has a 2 in. diameter; the other has a 3 in. d
1 answer:
Answer:
a) 3-in. pipe
Explanation:
Given that
Fluid flow is in same amount in the same time it means that volume flow rate is same for the pipes
Volume flow rate
Q = A V
A=Area ,V=Velocity
If diameter d is more then the velocity will be less for same volume flow rate .We also Know that if pressure is more then the velocity will be less.
The second pipe 3 in diameter having more diameter then the velocity will be less but the pressure will be more.
That is why the 3 in diameter is having more pressure than 2 in diameter pipe.
Therefore the answer will be a.
a) 3-in diameter pipe

Answer:
Due to equal pressure in all the direction at a particular level in a fluid medium (Pascal's Law)
Explanation:
We are not crushed by the weight of the atmosphere because atmosphere is a fluid and we are immersed into it. So, according to the Pascal's law the the pressure a each point in a horizontal level is equal in all the direction irrespective of the orientation of a body.
Variation of pressure in term of the height of a fluid medium is given as:
density of fluid
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height of the free surface of the fluid from the immersed object.
- And atmosphere has very less variation of pressure with change in height as it is a rare medium fluid and so for a human height there is very negligible variation of pressure at the heat of a human with respect to his toe.
