Water is flowing through a channel (lying in a vertical plane) as shown in the figure. Three sections $A, B$ and $C$ are shown. Sections $B$ and $C$ have equal area of cross-section. If $P_A, P_B$ and $P_C$ are the pressures at $A, B$ and $C$ respectively,then:

  • A
    $P_A > P_B = P_C$
  • B
    $P_A < P_B < P_C$
  • C
    $P_A < P_B = P_C$
  • D
    $P_A > P_B > P_C$

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 $\,Pa$)

Blood velocity: The flow of blood in a large artery of an anesthetised dog is diverted through a Venturi meter. The wider part of the meter has a cross-sectional area equal to that of the artery,$A = 8 \; mm^2$. The narrower part has an area $a = 4 \; mm^2$. The pressure drop in the artery is $24 \; Pa$. What is the speed (in $m/s$) of the blood in the artery?
