A Venturi meter is a device used for measuring the speed of a fluid within a pipe. The drawing shows a gas flowing at a speed \( v_2 \) through a horizontal section of pipe with a cross-sectional area \( A_2 = 542 \) \( \text{cm}^2 \). The gas has a density of \( 1.35 \) \( \text{kg/m}^3 \). The Venturi meter has a cross-sectional area of \( A_1 = 215 \) \( \text{cm}^2 \) and has been substituted for a section of the larger pipe. The pressure difference between the two sections \( P_2 – P_1 = 145 \) \( \text{Pa} \).

Two disks, A and B, each experience a net external torque that varies over an interval of \( 5 \) \( \text{s} \). Disk B has a rotational inertia that is twice that of Disk A. The graph shown represents the angular momentum of the two disks as functions of time between \( t = 0 \) \( \text{s} \) and \( t = 5 \) \( \text{s} \). The average magnitudes of the net torques exerted on disks A and B from \( t = 0 \) \( \text{s} \) to \( t = 5 \) \( \text{s} \) are \( \tau_A \) and \( \tau_B \), respectively. Which of the following expressions correctly relates the magnitudes of the average torques?

A point on the edge of a disk rotates around the center of the disk with an initial angular velocity of 3 rad/s clockwise. The graph shows the point’s angular acceleration as a function of time. The positive direction is considered to be counterclockwise. All frictional forces are considered to be negligible.
