Water from a tap emerges vertically downwards with an initial speed of $1.0\,ms^{-1}.$ The cross-sectional area of the tap is $10^{-4}\,m^2.$ Assume that the pressure is constant throughout the stream of water and that flow is streamlined. The cross-sectional area of the stream,$0.15\,m$ below the tap would be: (take $g = 10\,ms^{-2}$ )

  • A
    $5\times 10^{-4}\,m^2$
  • B
    $5\times 10^{-5}\,m^2$
  • C
    $1\times 10^{-5}\,m^2$
  • D
    $2\times 10^{-5}\,m^2$

The pressure of water in a water pipe when the tap is closed and opened is $3.5 \times 10^5 \, N/m^2$ and $3 \times 10^5 \, N/m^2$ respectively. With the tap open,the velocity of water flowing is ........... $m/s$. (Take density of water $\rho = 10^3 \, kg/m^3$)
