$Assertion :$ The pressure of water increases when it flows from a narrow pipe to a wider pipe.
$Reason :$ According to the equation of continuity,$A_1v_1 = A_2v_2$,and by Bernoulli's principle,where velocity is high,pressure is low.

  • B
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • C
    If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • D
    If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Water is flowing in streamline motion through a horizontal tube. The pressure at a point in the tube is $p$ where the velocity of flow is $v$. At another point, where the pressure is $p/2$, the velocity of flow is (density of water $= \rho$)

$A$ liquid of density $750\,kg\,m^{-3}$ flows smoothly through a horizontal pipe that tapers in cross-sectional area from $A_{1} = 1.2 \times 10^{-2}\,m^{2}$ to $A_{2} = \frac{A_{1}}{2}$. The pressure difference between the wide and narrow sections of the pipe is $4500\,Pa$. The rate of flow of liquid is . . . . . . $\times 10^{-3}\,m^{3}\,s^{-1}$.

An aeroplane of mass $3 \times 10^4 \, kg$ and total wing area of $120 \, m^2$ is in a level flight at some height. The difference in pressure between the upper and lower surfaces of its wings in kilopascals is $(g = 10 \, m/s^2)$.

$A$ train with cross-sectional area $S_t$ is moving with speed $v_t$ inside a long tunnel of cross-sectional area $S_0$ $(S_0 = 4S_t)$. Assume that almost all the air (density $\rho$) in front of the train flows back between its sides and the walls of the tunnel. Also,the air flow with respect to the train is steady and laminar. Take the ambient pressure and that inside the train to be $p_0$. If the pressure in the region between the sides of the train and the tunnel walls is $p$,then $p_0 - p = \frac{7}{2N} \rho v_t^2$. The value of $N$ is. . . . .
