Homework Statement
why P1 not equal to P atm ? I can understand that P2= P 3 = P atm , because it is open to the atmospheric pressure... but why not P1 ?for (0.659-Fx = (10^3)(0.0942)(11.59) + (10^3)(0.053)(10.39) - (10^3)(0.1473)(8.33) = 0.147kN , it's actually (0.659-Fx = (ρ)(Q)(v2) + (ρ)(Q3)(v3) - (ρ)(Q1)(V1)why not the equation =
(0.659-Fx = (ρ)(Q)(v2x - v1) + (ρ)(Q3)(v3x -v1) ) ? just like the equation in the question that i asked in the previous thread? https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/pressure-in-bent-pipe.865389/
