Question

A glass tube is inserted into a flowing stream of water with one opening directed upstream and the other end vertical. If the water velocity is 3 m/s, how high will the water rise in the vertical leg relative to the level of the water surface of the stream?

Answer 1

Answer:

$h=0.46m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Velocity of water $V=3m/s$

Height=?

Generally, the equation for Water Velocity is mathematically given by

$V=\sqrt{2gh}$

Therefore Height h is given as

$h=\frac{v}{2g}$

$h=\frac{3^2}{2*9.81}$

$h=0.46m$
