Water is moving with a speed of $5.0\,m/s$ through a pipe of cross-sectional area $4.0\,cm^2$. The water gradually descends $10\,m$ as the pipe increases in area to $8.0\,cm^2$. If the pressure at the upper level is $1.5 \times 10^5\,Pa$,the pressure at the lower level will be:

  • A
    $2.9 \times 10^5\,Pa$
  • B
    $2.7 \times 10^5\,Pa$
  • C
    $2.4 \times 10^5\,Pa$
  • D
    $2.1 \times 10^5\,Pa$

$A$ horizontal pipe of non-uniform cross-section allows water to flow through it with a velocity $1 \ m/s$ when the pressure is $50 \ kPa$ at a point. If the velocity of flow has to be $2 \ m/s$ at some other point, the pressure at that point should be: (in $kPa$)

Water from a tap emerges vertically downwards with an initial velocity of $4 \,m/s$. The cross-sectional area of the tap is $A$. The flow is steady and the pressure is constant throughout the stream of water. The distance $h$ vertically below the tap,where the cross-sectional area of the stream becomes $\frac{2}{3} A$,is (take $g = 10 \,m/s^2$): (in $\,m$)

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?
