(N/A) Bernoulli's equation is based on the assumption of an ideal fluid. Its limitations are as follows:
$1$. It is valid only for incompressible,non-viscous,and steady (streamline) flow of fluids.
$2$. It does not account for energy loss due to viscosity or friction between fluid layers.
$3$. It ignores the energy dissipated as heat during fluid flow.
The uses of Bernoulli's equation include:
$1$. It is used to calculate the velocity of efflux (Torricelli's Law).
$2$. It explains the working principle of a Venturi meter,which is used to measure the flow rate of a fluid.
$3$. It explains the aerodynamic lift on an airplane wing.
$4$. It is used in the design of atomizers and Bunsen burners.

Water is filled in a cylindrical container to a height of $3 \ m$. The ratio of the cross-sectional area of the orifice and the beaker is $0.1$. The square of the speed of the liquid coming out from the orifice is ....... $m^2/s^2$ $(g = 10 \ m/s^2)$.

Air is streaming past a horizontal airplane wing such that its speed is $120 \ m/s$ over the upper surface and $90 \ m/s$ at the lower surface. If the density of air is $1.3 \ kg/m^3$ and the wing is $10 \ m$ long and has an average width of $2 \ m$,then the difference of the pressure on the two sides of the wing is ....... $Pascal$.

$A$ horizontal pipe of non-uniform cross-section allows water to flow through it with a velocity $1 \ m/s$ when the pressure is $50 \ kPa$ at a point. If the velocity of flow has to be $2 \ m/s$ at some other point, the pressure at that point should be: (in $kPa$)

An $L$-shaped tube with a small orifice is held in a water stream as shown in the figure. The upper end of the tube is $10.6 \ cm$ above the surface of the water. What will be the height (in $cm$) of the jet of water coming from the orifice? The velocity of the water stream is $2.45 \ m/s$. (Take $g = 9.8 \ m/s^2$)

What is the nature of the pressure-distance graph for the pipe shown in the figure?
