(N/A) The limitations of Bernoulli's equation are as follows:
$1$. The equation is valid only for incompressible fluids,meaning the density of the fluid remains constant.
$2$. It assumes the flow is steady,which means the velocity,pressure,and density at any point do not change with time.
$3$. It is applicable only to non-viscous (ideal) fluids,where internal friction or viscosity is neglected.
$4$. It assumes the flow is irrotational,meaning there is no net angular velocity of the fluid particles.
$5$. It does not account for energy loss due to friction or turbulence during the flow.

$A$ tank of height $15 \ m$ and cross-section area $10 \ m^2$ is filled with water. There is a small hole of cross-section area $a$ which is much smaller than the container, located at a height of $12 \ m$ from the base of the container. How much force should be applied with a piston at the top level, so that the water coming out of the hole hits the ground at a distance of $16 \ m$ (in $kN$)? (Take, density of water $\rho = 1000 \ kg \ m^{-3}$ and $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

Water is in streamline flow along a horizontal pipe with non-uniform cross-section. At a point in the pipe where the area of cross-section is $10 \,cm^{2}$, the velocity of water is $1 \,ms^{-1}$ and the pressure is $2000 \,Pa$. The pressure at another point where the cross-sectional area is $5 \,cm^{2}$ is (in $\,Pa$)
