Fluid Mechanics in SWCE

A pitot-static tube placed in a water stream measures a dynamic pressure head of $\Delta h = 0.2\text{ m}$ of water. If the tube coefficient $C = 1.0$ and $g = 9.81\text{ m/s}^2$, the flow velocity is:

Options:

• (A) $1.98\text{ m/s}$
• (B) $1.40\text{ m/s}$
• (C) $3.92\text{ m/s}$
• (D) $0.99\text{ m/s}$
