$14\mathrm{.}84-$ Bernoulli's Equation

Points: $2$

Suppose you have a wind speed gauge like the pitot tube shown in figure below. By what factor must wind speed increase to double the value of $h$ in the manometer? Is this independent of the moving fluid and the fluid in the manometer?

Is this independent of the moving fluid and the fluid in the manometer?

Yes

No

If the pressure reading of your pitot tube is $12\mathrm{.}0$ mm Hg at a speed of $160k\frac{m}{h},$ what will it be at $630k\frac{m}{h}$ at the same altitude? Assume the density of air at sea level.
