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:

  • A
    $P_A > P_B = P_C$
  • B
    $P_A < P_B < P_C$
  • C
    $P_A < P_B = P_C$
  • D
    $P_A > P_B > P_C$

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 $= 1000 \; kgm^{-3}$)

$A$ liquid of density $600 \text{ kg/m}^3$ is flowing steadily in a tube of varying cross-section. The cross-section at a point $A$ is $1.0 \text{ cm}^2$ and that at $B$ is $20 \text{ mm}^2$. Both the points $A$ and $B$ are in the same horizontal plane, and the speed of the liquid at $A$ is $10 \text{ cm/s}$. The difference in pressures at $A$ and $B$ points is . . . . . . $\text{Pa}$.
