Explain critical speed,white water rapids,and turbulent flow.
(N/A) Critical speed: Steady flow is achieved at low flow speeds up to a limiting value,called critical speed.
Turbulent flow: In a fluid flow,if the velocity of the fluid changes erratically from point to point as well as from time to time,the flow is known as a turbulent flow. If the speed of the fluid becomes greater than the critical speed,the flow loses steadiness and becomes turbulent.
White water rapids: When a fast-flowing stream encounters rocks,small foamy whirlpool-like regions called 'white water rapids' are formed.

Water is flowing continuously from a tap having an internal diameter $8 \times 10^{-3}\, m$. The water velocity as it leaves the tap is $0.04\, ms^{-1}$. The diameter of the water stream at a distance $8 \times 10^{-1}\, m$ below the tap is close to

View SolutionThe surface of water in a water tank of cross-sectional area $750 \,cm^2$ on the top of a house is '$h$' $m$ above the tap level. The speed of water coming out through the tap of cross-sectional area $500 \,mm^2$ is $30 \,cm/s$. At that instant, $\frac{dh}{dt}$ is $x \times 10^{-3} \,m/s$. The value of '$x$' will be:
