    Pipe Pressure
AI Thread Summary
To calculate the unknown entrance pressure in a pipe, it can be derived from the depth of the tank, with the pressure at the entrance potentially equating to the pressure at the exit. The discussion highlights that if the height (z) is set at 10 m, the pressure at the water surface can be considered as zero, assuming no head loss (hf = 0). Clarification is needed on the reference points for pressure measurement, whether it's from the pipe entry to exit or from the free surface to the pipe exit. Ultimately, understanding the relationship between the tank depth and pressure is crucial for solving the problem. The pressure at the entrance can be calculated using the established principles of fluid mechanics.

You are expected to find it from the depth of the tank.

i am going to use this equation to solve this question , where z = 10 m what is the pressure at ENTRANCE ? it's not given

p/s : hf = 0
 
It's unclear where the two points on your streamline are.pipe entry and exit? Or free surface and pipe exit?
If z=0 is along the pipe axis then z=10 is the water surface, and the pressure there is equal to the exit pressure so both can be set to zero.
 
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...
