Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
Show that Bernoulli's equation gives the pressure in a liquid at rest. Use it to find the difference in pressure between the open surface of a water tank and a point below it. (.)
Bernoulli's equation: along a streamline of an ideal fluid in steady flow, is the same. In a level pipe, : faster means lower pressure.
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. With : , so .
Step 2. For the surface () and a point below: , the law of the first course.
Step 3. Numbers. .
Answer: The point below is at more.
Watch out. Bernoulli's equation is the pressure-depth law plus a term for motion.
