Notation in fluid dynamics: A circle with a horizontal bar inside

AI Thread Summary
The notation of a circle with a horizontal bar inside, encountered in discussions of the Venturi effect, represents the distinction between measured values and actual physical quantities due to measurement interference. This notation indicates that the pressure measurement affects the values of temperature, pressure, molar mass, density, and concentration in the fluid. The confusion arises from the way these quantities are presented in literature, particularly in the context of pressure-based meters. Additional resources, such as an engineering article on pressure-temperature compensation, may provide further clarity on this topic. Understanding this notation is crucial for accurate interpretation in fluid dynamics.

I came across this notation when reading the wiki article on Venturi effect, which baffled me. Can someone please tell me its meaning?

It is actually explained in a confusing way. The act of pressure measurement itself is interfering with the actual values of temperature T, pressure P, molar mass Μ, density ρ and concentration C of the liquid. Hence these physical quantities around the pressure-based meter have different values which are denoted with this "funny" notation.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
