$A$ liquid flows through a horizontal tube. The velocities of the liquid in the two sections which have areas of cross-section $A_1$ and $A_2$ are $v_1$ and $v_2$ respectively. The difference in the levels of the liquid in the two vertical tubes is $h$. The incorrect statement is

Water is filled in a cylindrical container to a height of $3 \ m$. The ratio of the cross-sectional area of the orifice and the beaker is $0.1$. The square of the speed of the liquid coming out from the orifice is ....... $m^2/s^2$ $(g = 10 \ m/s^2)$.

$A$ horizontal pipe line carries water in a streamline flow. At a point along the tube where the cross-sectional area is $10^{-2} \ m^2$,the water velocity is $2 \ m/s$ and the pressure is $8000 \ Pa$. The pressure of water at another point where the cross-sectional area is $0.5 \times 10^{-2} \ m^2$ is ........ $Pa$.

$A$ liquid of density $600 \text{ kg/m}^3$ is flowing steadily in a tube of varying cross-section. The cross-section at a point $A$ is $1.0 \text{ cm}^2$ and that at $B$ is $20 \text{ mm}^2$.
