Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 49P
A racing car travels at 235 mph along a straightaway. The team engineer wishes to locate an air inlet on the body of the car to obtain cooling air for the driver’s suit. The plan is to place the inlet at a location where the air speed is 60 mph along the surface of the car. Calculate the static pressure at the proposed inlet location. Express the pressure rise above ambient as a fraction of the freestream dynamic pressure.

Flow takes place between three reservoirs, as shown in Figure 1. The volume flow rate out of reservoirs A and B is 0.15 m3/s and 0.25 m 3 /s respectively. If the coefficient of friction for the three pipes is 0.008, determine the relative elevations of the free surfaces. Neglect all losses other than friction.
