A Pitot tube is shown in figure. Wind blows in the direction shown. Air at inlet A is brought to rest, whereas its speed just outside of opening B is unchanged. The U tube contains mercury of density . Find the speed of wind with respect to Pitot tube. Neglect the height difference between A and B and take the density of air as .
Bernoulli's equation between A and B gives
