Water from a tap emerges vertically downwards with an initial velocity of $4 \,m/s$. The cross-sectional area of the tap is $A$. The flow is steady and the pressure is constant throughout the stream of water. The distance $h$ vertically below the tap,where the cross-sectional area of the stream becomes $\frac{2}{3} A$,is (take $g = 10 \,m/s^2$): (in $\,m$)

  • A
    $0.5$
  • B
    $1$
  • C
    $1.5$
  • D

An aeroplane of mass $3 \times 10^4 \, kg$ and total wing area of $120 \, m^2$ is in a level flight at some height. The difference in pressure between the upper and lower surfaces of its wings in kilopascals is $(g = 10 \, m/s^2)$.

The figure shows a liquid of given density flowing steadily in a horizontal tube of varying cross-section. The cross-sectional areas at $A$ is $1.5 \, cm^2$,and at $B$ is $25 \, mm^2$. If the speed of the liquid at $B$ is $60 \, cm/s$,then find $(P_A - P_B)$ in $Pa$. (Given: $P_A$ and $P_B$ are liquid pressures at points $A$ and $B$ respectively. Density $\rho = 1000 \, kg/m^3$. $A$ and $B$ are on the axis of the tube.)
