Air Speed into a Low-Pressure Container

At the bottom of a container, there is a small hole covered by a lid. The air pressure inside the container is $p$, which is much less than the external atmospheric pressure $p_0$ (i.e., $p \ll p_0$). The lid is suddenly removed.

What is the initial speed of the air rushing into the container? The atmospheric pressure is $p_0$ and the density of the outside air is $\rho$.

Venturi Flowmeter Principle Derivation

A simple Venturi meter, as shown in Figure, is a horizontal tube with varying cross-sections used to measure fluid flow rate. The flow rate $Q$ is the volume of fluid passing a cross-section per unit time, given by $Q=vS$, where $v$ is the fluid velocity and $S$ is the cross-sectional area. The difference in fluid height, $h$, in the two vertical tubes at sections A and B can be used to determine $Q$.

Prove that the flow rate $Q$ is given by the formula: $$Q = \sqrt{\frac{2ghS_A^2S_B^2}{S_B^2 - S_A^2}}$$

Water Flow in a Descending Pipe

Water flows at $v_1 = 5.0$ m/s through a pipe section with a cross-sectional area of $S_1 = 4.0$ cm$^2$. The pipe descends by a height of $h=10$ m to a lower section where the cross-sectional area is $S_2 = 0.8$ cm$^2$. The pressure in the upper section is $P_1 = 1.50 \times 10^5$ Pa. Use the density of water $\rho = 1000$ kg/m$^3$ and the acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8$ m/s$^2$.

  1. What is the velocity of the water in the lower pipe section?
  2. What is the pressure in the lower pipe section?

Horizontal Range of Water from Leaking Bucket

On the floor, there is a bucket full of water, where the water surface is at a height H. A small hole is opened on the bucket wall at a depth h below the water surface.

Find the range of the water stream that is ejected from the small hole and lands on the floor.
