Can anybody please help solve this problem w/ detailed explanationon the steps u did, it will be greatly appreciated ? A U-tube openat both ends is partially filled w/ water. Oil (p=750 kg /m3) is then poured into the right arm and forms a columnL = 5.00cm high. a) Determine the difference h in thehi=eights of the two liquid surfaces. b) The right arm is thenshielded from any air motion while air is blown across the top ofthe left arm until the surfaces of the two liquids are at the sameheight. Determine the speed of the air being blown across the leftarm. Assume the density of air is 1.29 kg / m3.

Explanation / Answer

the pressures on both sides must be equal hence 750*9.8*h1=1000*9.8*h2 given that the column above water is 5 cms high h1=5cms hence h2=0.75*5=3.75cms difference in heights is 1.25cms b)as the air is blown due to the velocity of air the pressuredecreases by 0.5**v*v=0.5*1.29*v*v this has to be equal to 1000*1.25*9.8/100 solve for v
