Question:

A Pitot-static tube is used to measure the velocity of helium in a pipe. The temperature and pressure are \(40^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\) and 25 psia. A water manometer connected to the Pitot-static tube indicates a reading of 2.3 in. Determine the helium velocity. Is it reasonable to consider the flow as incompressible? Explain.
