A pitot static tube is used to measure the velocity of air flowing through a duct. The manometer shows a difference in head of 5 cm of water. If the density of air and water are 1.13 kg/m3 and 1000 kg/m3, respectively, determine the velocity of air. Assume the coefficient of the pitot tube as 0.98.
