Hi!

Question

Ok

P = Po + (greek lowercase letter Ro)gh

pressure = atmospheric pressure + density of fluid(gravity)(pressure head)

I derived it using calculus and followed along in the book the book assuems in ther derivation that it's a solid cylinder that sits straight up and down...

what do I do if say there was a water tank on a clif and instead of the water falling straight down towards a house and went down a pipe that was slanted at an angle say I don't know 45 degrees from the horizontal...

I would i derrive my new equation what other information would I need to know to make the new derivation?

Basicaly instead of assuming a graduated cylinder what if it was like some werid shape how would I derive my new equation?

Could you make up values that i would need and walk me threw the first couple of steps?

Thanks a bunch!!!

Answer 1

like instead of a cube of water what if it was a fish bowl or like a lake not some perfectly shaped cube that contained the water
