... height gives the pressure per unit area. In this experiment, a Bernoulli tube was used to investigate this relationship between pressure and gravity. A tube with three holes at different heights was filled with water to a designated level, and the water level was maintained constant. Water began shooting out of the holes, and the distance it traveled before it reached the horizontal level of the base of the tube was measured. By knowing the acceleration in the vertical direction to be the acceleration due to gravity and using kinemetric equations, the travel time could be calculated. Once the travel time was known, the horizontal velocity could be determined from the equation v = d/t. This was calculated for each hole, and then the corresponding calculations where done for the theoretical velocity of the water coming from the holes. The two methods were then compared for verification of the relationship. Purpose To demonstrate that ...
