As shown in the figure, a pump is designed as a horizontal cylinder with a piston having area $A$ and an outlet orifice having an area $a$. The piston moves with a constant velocity under the action of force $F$. If the density of the liquid is $\rho$, then the speed of the liquid emerging from the orifice is (assume $A \gg a$):

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{F}{\rho A}}$
  • B
    $\frac{a}{A} \sqrt{\frac{F}{\rho A}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{2 F}{\rho A}}$
  • D
    $\frac{A}{a} \sqrt{\frac{2 F}{\rho A}}$

Water is flowing in a streamline manner in a horizontal pipe. If the pressure at a point where the cross-sectional area is $10 \,cm^2$ and velocity is $1 \,m/s$ is $2000 \,Pa$, then the pressure of water at another point where the cross-sectional area is $5 \,cm^2$ is: (in $\,Pa$)

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