$A$ horizontal pipe carries water in a streamline flow. At a point along the pipe, where the cross-sectional area is $A_1$, the velocity of water is $V_1$ and the pressure is $P_1$. What is the pressure of water at another point where the cross-sectional area is $A_2$?

  • A
    $P_1 - \frac{\rho V_1^2}{2A_2^2} (A_2^2 - A_1^2)$
  • B
    $P_1 + \frac{\rho V_1^2}{2A_2^2} (A_2^2 - A_1^2)$
  • C
    $P_1 \rho V_1^2 (A_1^2 - A_2^2)$
  • D
    $P_1 + \frac{\rho V_1^2}{2} (1 - \frac{A_1^2}{A_2^2})$

Consider a cylindrical tank of radius $1\,m$ filled with water. The top surface of the water is at $15\,m$ from the bottom of the cylinder. There is a hole on the wall of the cylinder at a height of $5\,m$ from the bottom. $A$ force of $5 \times 10^{5}\,N$ is applied on the top surface of the water using a piston. Calculate the speed of efflux from the hole. (Given: atmospheric pressure $P_{A} = 1.01 \times 10^{5}\,Pa$,density of water $\rho_{w} = 1000\,kg/m^{3}$,and gravitational acceleration $g = 10\,m/s^{2}$) (in $,m/s$)

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 $g = 9.8 \ m/s^2$)
