Water is flowing steadily through a horizontal tube of non-uniform cross-section. If the pressure of water is $4 \times 10^4 \ N/m^2$ at a point where the cross-section is $0.02 \ m^2$ and the velocity of flow is $2 \ m/s$,what is the pressure at a point where the cross-section reduces to $0.01 \ m^2$?

  • A
    $1.4 \times 10^4 \ N/m^2$
  • B
    $3.4 \times 10^4 \ N/m^2$
  • C
    $2.4 \times 10^4 \ N/m^2$
  • D
    none of these

Water flows in a horizontal tube (see figure). The pressure of water changes by $700 \; Nm^{-2}$ between $A$ and $B$ where the area of cross-section are $40 \; cm^{2}$ and $20 \; cm^{2},$ respectively. Find the rate of flow of water through the tube in $cm^{3} / s$. (Density of water $= 1000 \; kgm^{-3}$)

What is a venturi-meter? Explain its construction and working.

Water is flowing through a channel (lying in a vertical plane) as shown in the figure. Three sections $A, B$ and $C$ are shown. Sections $B$ and $C$ have equal area of cross-section. If $P_A, P_B$ and $P_C$ are the pressures at $A, B$ and $C$ respectively,then:

$Assertion :$ The velocity of flow of a liquid is smaller when pressure is larger and vice-versa.
$Reason :$ According to Bernoulli's theorem,for the stream line flow of an ideal liquid,the total energy per unit mass remains constant.

Water is flowing through a horizontal tube having cross-sectional areas of its two ends as $A$ and $A'$ such that the ratio $A/A'$ is $5$. If the pressure difference of water between the two ends is $3 \times 10^5 \, N \, m^{-2}$,the velocity of water with which it enters the tube will be ......... $m \, s^{-1}$ (neglect gravity effects).
