The weight of an aeroplane flying in air is balanced by

  • A
    Upthrust of the air which will be equal to the weight of the air having the same volume as the plane
  • B
    Force due to the pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the wings,created by different air speeds on the surface
  • C
    Vertical component of the thrust created by air currents striking the lower surface of the wings
  • D
    Force due to the reaction of gases ejected by the revolving propeller

The reading of a pressure gauge connected to a closed tap is $3.5 \times 10^5 \, N/m^2$. When the tap is opened,the reading of the pressure gauge falls to $3.0 \times 10^5 \, N/m^2$. The velocity of water is ........ $m/s$.

Write the limitations of Bernoulli's equation.

Assertion $(A)$: The upper surface of the wing of an aeroplane is made convex and the lower surface is made concave.
Reason $(R)$: The air currents at the top have smaller velocity and thus less pressure at the bottom than at the top.
