Question:
Taking into account of various carbocations and, as well as the rules governing mechanisms of carbocation rearrangements, which reaction is most likely to occur during the given reaction?
My take on the question was this mechanism:
I'm torn between this mechani...
well, i haven't ever done an upside down venturi meter, but read this site nptel.ac.in/courses/122103011/22 the result they've derived doesn't seem to match with yours
This is a part of a bigger problem. I just want to ask one conceptual question: Is pressure of water (shown by gray) throughout each of those narrow tubes same ?
@sammygerbil Thanks for your time on this problem. Btw, how do we make Physicsqandaexchange more known? Only you are the one answering questions there (and thanks a ton for that)...No one else visits the site
@Abcd Kenshin (Einstein on Physics Q & A) is the site moderator. You could try posting a Meta Question on the Q & A site to ask about advertising the site.
@Abcd In the nptel problem I think the moving fluid is air, so the density is orders of magnitude less than mercury, that is why the pressure is assumed to be same at the 2 blue markers in your diagram.
@Abcd Yes it does look like they have made the same approximation when the moving fluid is water. ie They seem to have used $\rho_w/\rho_m$ instead of $\rho_w/(\rho_m-rho_w)$.
@Abcd Usually the moving fluid is air, and $\rho g h$ for air is very much smaller than $P_2 - P_1$. Water is about 800 times denser than air, and mercury is 13.7 times denser than water, so the approximation is very good for air/water and air/mercury (errors of about 0.1% and 0.01% respectively), but not so good for water/mercury (error of about 7%).
@sammygerbil So I think we should agree upon this being a mistake in my textbook. (though its the one of the most used physics textbooks in India)
@sammygerbil If a body is rotating about an axis and the axis is also rotating with some angular acceleration, is the angular acceleration of the axis counted as a vector part of the angular acceleration of the body?
I feel that it should be counted as that (and I just solved a question and got a right answer using my assumption) but not sure.
