Question: A 2-in.-diameter sphere weighing (0.14 mathrm{lb}) is suspended by the jet of air shown in Fig. P9.88. The drag coefficient for the sphere is 0.5.
A 2-in.-diameter sphere weighing \(0.14 \mathrm{lb}\) is suspended by the jet of air shown in Fig. P9.88. The drag coefficient for the sphere is 0.5. Determine the reading on the pressure gage if friction and gravity effects can be neglected for the flow between the pressure gage and the nozzle exit.
Figure P9.88

-Area = 0.3 ft Air Area = 0.6 ft Pressure gage
