Water from a tap emerges vertically downwards with an initial speed of 1.0 ms–1. The cross-sectional area of the tap is 10–4 m2. Assume that the pressure is constant throughout the stream of water and that the flow is streamlined. The cross-sectional area of the stream, 0.15 m below the tap would be: (Take g = 10 ms–2)
1. 5 × 10–4m2
2. 2 × 10–5m2
3. 5 × 10–5m2
4. 1 × 10–5 m2
A fluid is flowing through a horizontal pipe of varying cross-sections, with speed \(v\) ms-1 at a point where the pressure is \(P\) pascal. At another point where pressure is \(\frac{P}{2}\) pascal, its speed is \(v\) ms-1. If the density of the fluid is \(\rho\) kg-m-3 and the flow is streamlined, then \(v\) is equal to:
1. | \(\sqrt{\frac{P}{2\rho }+v^{2}}\) | 2. | \(\sqrt{\frac{P}{\rho }+v^{2}}\) |
3. | \(\sqrt{\frac{2P}{\rho }+v^{2}}\) | 4. | \(\sqrt{\frac{P}{\rho }+v^{}}\) |
