16. In the pitot tube was discharged by gases (ρ = 3,4
kg/m3) so the difference of mercury height at
manometer is 2 cm. If the gravity is 10 m/s2 and density
of mercury is 13600 kg/m3 , determine velocity of gases
flow in the pitot tube!
Known:
ρ = 3,4 kg/m3 Gas flow
v
Ρ’ = 13600 kg/m3
g = 10 m/s2
h = 2 cm = 2 × 10-2 m h

Answer:
18. Pitot tube is the instrument that
discovered by Henri Pitot from France
in the early 1700s. This tool usually
used to measure air speed and
motion in the plane.
