Glycerine of density $1.25 \times 10^3 \, kg \, m^{-3}$ is flowing through a conical section of a pipe. The area of cross-section of the pipe at its ends is $10 \, cm^2$ and $5 \, cm^2$, and the pressure drop across its length is $3 \, N \, m^{-2}$. The rate of flow of glycerine through the pipe is $x \times 10^{-5} \, m^3 \, s^{-1}$. The value of $x$ is $..............$.

The flow speeds of air on the lower and upper surfaces of the wing of an aeroplane are $v$ and $2v$ respectively. The density of air is $\rho$ and the surface area of the wing is $A$. The dynamic lift on the wing is:

The Pitot tube shown in the figure is used to measure fluid flow velocity in a pipe of cross-sectional area $S$. It was invented by a French engineer Henri Pitot in the early $18^{th}$ century. The volume of the gas flowing across the section of the pipe per unit time is (The difference in the liquid columns is $\Delta h$,$\rho_0$ and $\rho$ are the densities of liquid and the gas respectively):
