An ideal fluid of density $800 \; kg \cdot m^{-3}$ flows smoothly through a bent pipe (as shown in the figure) that tapers in cross-sectional area from $a$ to $\frac{a}{2}$. The pressure difference between the wide and narrow sections of the pipe is $4100 \; Pa$. At the wider section,the velocity of the fluid is $\frac{\sqrt{x}}{6} \; m \cdot s^{-1}$. Find the value of $x$. (Given $g = 10 \; m \cdot s^{-2}$)

  • A

  • B
    $373$
  • C
    $383$
  • D
    $393$
