Answer:
The correct answer is 'velocity'of liquid flowing out of an orifice is proportional to the square root of the 'height' of liquid above the center of the orifice.
Explanation:
Torricelli's theorem states that
where
is the velocity with which the fluid leaves orifice
is the head under which the flow occurs.
Thus we can compare the given options to arrive at the correct answer
Velocity is proportional to square root of head under which the flow occurs.
Answer:
If Reynolds number increases the extent of the region around the object that is affected by viscosity decreases.
Explanation:
Reynolds number is an important dimensionless parameter in fluid mechanics.
It is calculated as;
where;
ρ is density
v is velocity
d is diameter
μ is viscosity
All these parameters are important in calculating Reynolds number and understanding of fluid flow over an object.
In aerodynamics, the higher the Reynolds number, the lesser the viscosity plays a role in the flow around the airfoil. As Reynolds number increases, the boundary layer gets thinner, which results in a lower drag. Or simply put, if Reynolds number increases the extent of the region around the object that is affected by viscosity decreases.
