Water from a tap emerges vertically downwards with an initial speed of $1.0\,ms^{-1}.$ The cross-sectional area of the tap is $10^{-4}\,m^2.$ Assume that the pressure is constant throughout the stream of water and that flow is streamlined. The cross-sectional area of the stream,$0.15\,m$ below the tap would be: (take $g = 10\,ms^{-2}$ )

  • A
    $5\times 10^{-4}\,m^2$
  • B
    $5\times 10^{-5}\,m^2$
  • C
    $1\times 10^{-5}\,m^2$
  • D
    $2\times 10^{-5}\,m^2$

Water flows in a streamline motion through a horizontal pipe of circular cross-section. The pressure difference of water between $P$ and $Q$ is $15 \text{ Nm}^{-2}$. The area of cross-section at $P$ and $Q$ are $40 \text{ cm}^2$ and $20 \text{ cm}^2$, respectively. The rate of flow of water through the pipe, in $\text{cm}^3\text{s}^{-1}$, is : [Take density of water = $1000 \text{ kg m}^{-3}$]

Water is pumped steadily out of a flooded basement at a speed of $10 \ m \ s^{-1}$ through a hose (tube) of radius $1 \ cm$, passing through a window $3 \ m$ above the water level. The power of the pump is (Assume $g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$, density of water $= 1000 \ kg \ m^{-3}$): (in $\pi \ W$)

$A$ horizontal pipe carries water in a streamlined flow. At a point along the pipe,where the cross-sectional area is $10 \text{ cm}^2$,the velocity of water is $1 \text{ ms}^{-1}$ and the pressure is $2000 \text{ Pa}$. What is the pressure of water at another point where the cross-sectional area is $5 \text{ cm}^2$ (in $Pa$)? [Density of water $= 1000 \text{ kgm}^{-3}$]

The Bernoulli's equation is given by $p + \frac{1}{2} \rho v^{2} + h \rho g = k$,where $p =$ pressure,$\rho =$ density,$v =$ speed,$h =$ height of the liquid column,$g =$ acceleration due to gravity,and $k$ is a constant. The dimensional formula for $k$ is the same as that for:
