Question 85

Multiple Choice

FIGURE 15-20 FIGURE 15-20   -A paint sprayer pumps air through a constriction in a 2.50-cm diameter pipe, as shown in Figure 15-20. The flow causes the pressure in the constricted area to drop and paint rises up the feed tube and enters the air stream. The air stream in the 2.50-cm diameter sections is 5.00 m/s. The density of the air is 1.29 kg/m<sup>3</sup>, and the density of the paint is 1200 kg/m<sup>3</sup>. What is the maximum diameter of the constriction that will allow the sprayer to operate? A)  8.09 mm B)  4.05 mm C)  12.2 mm D)  9.65 mm E)  14.3 mm
