Two water pipes of diameters $2 \text{ cm}$ and $4 \text{ cm}$ are connected with the main supply line. The velocity of flow of water in the pipe of $2 \text{ cm}$ diameter is

  • A
    $4$ times that in the other pipe
  • B
    $\frac{1}{4}$ times that in the other pipe
  • C
    $2$ times that in the other pipe
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2}$ times that in the other pipe

Water enters through end $A$ with speed $v_1$ and leaves through end $B$ with speed $v_2$ of a cylindrical tube $AB$. The tube is always completely filled with water. In case $I$,the tube is horizontal; in case $II$,it is vertical with end $A$ upwards; and in case $III$,it is vertical with end $B$ upwards. We have $v_1 = v_2$ for:

In a streamlined flow,the velocity of a fluid at a given point

The radius of the cross-section of the cylindrical tube of a spray pump is $2 \,cm$. One end of the pump has $50$ fine holes, each of radius $0.4 \,mm$. If the speed of flow of the liquid inside the tube is $0.04 \,ms^{-1}$, what is the speed of ejection of the liquid from the holes (in $\,ms^{-1}$)?

Why does fluid flow faster in a narrow tube?

Water flows through a horizontal pipe of variable cross-section at the rate of $12 \pi$ litre per minute. The velocity of the water at the point where the diameter of the pipe becomes $2 \text{ cm}$ is (in $\text{ m/s}$)
