An incompressible fluid flows steadily through a cylindrical pipe having radius $R$ at point $A$ and $\frac{R}{3}$ at point $B$ further along the direction of flow of liquid. If the velocity at point $A$ is $V$,then the velocity at point $B$ is:

The 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

$A$ motor of power $P_0$ is used to deliver water at a certain rate through a given horizontal pipe. To increase the rate of flow of water through the same pipe $n$ times, the power of the motor is increased to $P_1$. The ratio of $P_1$ to $P_0$ is
