Question: Figure 4 : Schematic for problem 5 5 . [ 1 7 pts ] Air flows through a pipe at a rate of 1 2

Figure 4: Schematic for problem 5
5.[17pts] Air flows through a pipe at a rate of 120Ls. The pipe consists of two sections of diameters 22 cm and 10 cm with a reducing section that connects them. The pressure difference between the two pipe sections is measured by a water manometer. Take air=1.20kgm3,water=1000kgm3 and
()air.
(a)6pts Neglecting frictional effects, determine the differential height of water between (h) the two pipe sections.
(b)10pts If frictional effects are not neglected, what is the differential height of water
5/10
between the two pipe sections? Take the pipe to be made of drawn copper tubing and the distance between the contraction and the second manometer tube to be L=15cm. The distance between the first manometer tube and the contraction is negligible.
