    Thank you, thank you!
    So the equation becomes
    Pa - 1/2 *pair * vair^2 + pwater * gL = Pa + poil *gL
    - 1/2 *pair * vair^2 + pwater * gL = poil *gL
    1/2 * pair * vair^2 = (pwater - poil)gL
    Now vair...

    One more thing. Is it correct to say that in figure (c), P1 will be equal to Pa? When the air is blown, then will the air pressure in left tube not be reduced?
  3. If I do like that for figure (c), then Pa + 1/2...

    If I do like that for figure (c), then
    Pa + 1/2 *pa *v^2 + pwater *gL
    = Pa + poil *gL
    Subtracting Pa from both sides,
    1/2 *pa *v^2 + pwater *gL = poil *gL
    1/2 *pa *v^2 = (poil - pwater)gL
    But...

    When the satellite is closer to the Earth, then it has smaller gravitational potential energy. Hence, larger kinetic energy and thereby larger speed.
