The platelets are drifting with the blood flowing in a streamline flow through a horizontal artery as shown below. The artery is contracted in region $II$. Choose the correct statement.

  • A
    As the platelets enter a constriction,the platelets get squeezed closer together in the narrow region and hence the fluid pressure must rise there.
  • B
    As the platelets enter a constriction,pressure is lower there.
  • C
    The artery's cross-section area is smaller in the constriction and thus the pressure must be larger there because pressure equals the force divided by area.
  • D
    Pressure is same in all the parts of the artery.

$A$ streamline flow of a liquid of density $\rho$ is passing through a horizontal pipe of cross-sectional area $A_1$ and $A_2$ at two ends. If the pressure of the liquid is $P$ at a point where the flow speed is $v$,then the pressure at another point where the flow speed becomes $3v$ is:

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 $A \gg a$):

Glycerine of density $1.25 \times 10^3 \, kg \, m^{-3}$ is flowing through a conical section of a pipe. The area of cross-section of the pipe at its ends is $10 \, cm^2$ and $5 \, cm^2$, and the pressure drop across its length is $3 \, N \, m^{-2}$. The rate of flow of glycerine through the pipe is $x \times 10^{-5} \, m^3 \, s^{-1}$. The value of $x$ is $..............$.

In a test experiment on a model aeroplane in a wind tunnel,the flow speeds on the upper and lower surfaces of the wings are $70 \,m/s$ and $65 \,m/s$ respectively. If the wing area is $2 \,m^2$,the lift of the wing is . . . . . . $N$. (Given density of air $= 1.2 \,kg/m^3$)
