Water flows in a horizontal pipe whose one end is closed with a valve. The reading of the pressure gauge attached to the pipe is $P_1$. The reading of the pressure gauge falls to $P_2$ when the valve is opened. The speed of water flowing in the pipe is proportional to

  • A
    $\sqrt{P_1 - P_2}$
  • B
    $(P_1 - P_2)^2$
  • C
    $(P_1 - P_2)^4$
  • D
    $P_1 - P_2$
