DifficultExplain critical speed,white water rapids,and turbulent flow.
(N/A) Critical speed: Steady flow is achieved at low flow speeds up to a limiting value,called critical speed.
Turbulent flow: In a fluid flow,if the velocity of the fluid changes erratically from point to point as well as from time to time,the flow is known as a turbulent flow. If the speed of the fluid becomes greater than the critical speed,the flow loses steadiness and becomes turbulent.
White water rapids: When a fast-flowing stream encounters rocks,small foamy whirlpool-like regions called 'white water rapids' are formed.

View SolutionThe surface of water in a water tank of cross-section area $750 \text{ cm}^2$ on the top of a house is $h \text{ m}$ above the tap level. The speed of water coming out through the tap of cross-section area $500 \text{ mm}^2$ is $30 \text{ cm/s}$. At that instant, $dh/dt$ is $y \times 10^{-3} \text{ m/s}$. The value of $y$ will be
