    SOLUTION
    QUESTION 1

    𝑃1 𝑉⃑⃑⃑⃑2 𝑃2 𝑉⃑⃑⃑⃑2
    1 2
    + + 𝑧1 = + + 𝑧2
    𝜌𝑔 2𝑔 𝜌𝑔 2𝑔

    𝑃2 − 𝑃1 ⃑⃑⃑⃑
    𝑉12 ⃑⃑⃑⃑2
    𝑉 2
    = + 𝑧1 − − 𝑧2
    𝜌𝑔 2𝑔 2𝑔

    ⃑⃑⃑⃑
    0.045𝑚3 1
    𝑉1 = × = 15.91 𝑚/𝑠
    𝑠 𝜋(0.03𝑚)2

    ⃑⃑⃑⃑
    0.045𝑚3 1
    𝑉2 = × = 35.81 𝑚/𝑠
    𝑠 𝜋(0.02𝑚)2

    (15.91 𝑚⁄𝑠)2 (35.81 𝑚⁄𝑠)2


    𝑃2 − 𝑃1 = 𝜌𝑔 ( − − 0.2𝑚)
    2𝑔 2𝑔
    = −645.72 𝑃𝑎
    ∆𝑃 = 𝜌𝑤 𝑔∆ℎ𝑤
    645.72
    ∆ℎ𝑤 = 𝑚 = 0.0658 𝑚
    9.81 × 1000

    QUESTION 2
    ↓ 𝐹𝑉 = 𝑊 = 𝜌𝑔𝑉
    1
    = 1000𝑘𝑔/𝑚3 × 9.81𝑚/𝑠 2 × 3.142 × (0.5𝑚)2 × 3𝑚 ×
    4
    = 5779 𝑁 𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛𝑤𝑎𝑟𝑑𝑠
    → 𝐹𝐻 = 𝑃𝑎𝑣𝑔 × 𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑎
    = 𝜌𝑤 𝑔ℎ𝑐 × 𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑎
    0.5𝑚
    = 1000𝑘𝑔⁄𝑚3 × 9.81𝑚⁄𝑠 2 × × 0.5𝑚 × 3𝑚
    2
    = 3679 𝑁

    𝐹𝑅 = √57792 + 36792 𝑁 = 6851 𝑁


    𝐹𝑉 5779
    tan 𝜃 = =
    𝐹𝐻 3679
    𝜃 = 57.5°
    QUESTION 3
    Force balance on surface A:

    Top: 𝑃𝐴 − 𝜌2 𝑔(2.1𝑚 + 1.5𝑚 − 1.8𝑚)

    Bottom: 𝑃𝐴 + 𝜌1 𝑔(1.8𝑚 − 0.9𝑚) − 𝜌3 𝑔(1.5𝑚 − 0.9𝑚) − 𝜌2 𝑔(2.1𝑚)

    Top = Bottom:
    𝑃𝐴 − 𝜌2 𝑔(2.1𝑚 + 1.5𝑚 − 1.8𝑚)
    = 𝑃𝐴 + 𝜌1 𝑔(1.8𝑚 − 0.9𝑚) − 𝜌3 𝑔(1.5𝑚 − 0.9𝑚) − 𝜌2 𝑔(2.1𝑚)
    𝑃𝐴 − 𝜌2 𝑔(1.8𝑚) = 𝑃𝐴 + 𝜌1 𝑔(0.9𝑚) − 𝜌3 𝑔(0.6𝑚) − 𝜌2 𝑔(2.1𝑚)
    𝜌3 𝑔(0.6𝑚) = 𝜌1 𝑔(0.9𝑚) − 𝜌2 𝑔(0.3𝑚)
    1000 × 0.9 − 824.6 × 0.3
    𝜌3 = 𝑘𝑔/𝑚3
    0.6
    = 1087.7 𝑘𝑔/𝑚3
    𝜌3 1087.7
    𝑆𝐺 = = = 1.088
    1000 1000

    QUESTION 4
    Size: Small enough to trace flow
    Large enough so signal is strong
    Density: Comparable with fluid medium
    Scalar: Non-consumable during experiment runs
