A glass tube is inserted into a flowing stream of water with one opening directed upstream and the other end vertical. If the water velocity is 3 m/s, how high will the water rise in the vertical leg relative to the level of the water surface of the stream?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]h=0.46m[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Velocity of water [tex]V=3m/s[/tex]

Height=?

Generally, the equation for Water Velocity is mathematically given by

[tex]V=\sqrt{2gh}[/tex]

Therefore Height h is given as

[tex]h=\frac{v}{2g}[/tex]

[tex]h=\frac{3^2}{2*9.81}[/tex]

[tex]h=0.46m[/tex]
