The \"spherical\" Pitot probe shown is used to measure the flow velocity in wate

Question

The "spherical" Pitot probe shown is used to measure the flow velocity in water (Rho = 1000 kg/m3). Pressure taps are located at the forward stagnation point and at 90degree from the forward stagnation point. The speed of fluid next to the surface of the sphere varies as 1,5 V0 sin theta, where Vo is the free-stream velocity and theta is measured from the forward stagnation point. The pressure taps are at the same level; that is, they are in the same horizontal plane. The piezometric pressure difference between the two taps is 2kPa. What is the free-stream velocity V0? PROBLEM 4.59
