$A$ steady flow of water passes along a horizontal tube from a wide section $X$ to the narrower section $Y$,see figure. Manometers are placed at $P$ and $Q$ at the sections. Which of the statements $A, B, C, D$ is most correct?

  • A
    water velocity at $X$ is greater than at $Y$
  • B
    the manometer at $P$ shows lower pressure than at $Q$
  • C
    kinetic energy per $m^3$ of water at $X$ = kinetic energy per $m^3$ at $Y$
  • D
    the manometer at $P$ shows greater pressure than at $Q$

$A$ 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. . . . .
