a) Find the flow velocity measured by a venturi
meter (Figure 1).
Express your answer in terms of some or all of the
variables P1, A1, P2, A2, and Ļ
b) A venturi tube is measuring the flow of water; it has a main
diameter of 2.8 cm tapering down to a throat diameter of
1.7 cm . If the pressure difference is measured to be
35 mm-Hg, what is the velocity of the water?
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the
