$A$ horizontal tube of non-uniform cross-section has radii of $0.2\,m$ and $0.1\,m$ at points $P$ and $Q$ respectively. For the streamline flow of an incompressible liquid,the rate of liquid flow is:

  • A
    greater at $P$ than $Q$
  • B
    greater at $Q$ than $P$
  • C
    changing continuously with time
  • D
    same at $P$ and $Q$

Can two streamlines cross each other? Why?

An incompressible fluid flows steadily through a cylindrical pipe having radius $R$ at point $A$ and $\frac{R}{3}$ at point $B$ further along the direction of flow of liquid. If the velocity at point $A$ is $V$,then the velocity at point $B$ is:

An incompressible fluid (ideal fluid) is flowing through a non-uniform cross-sectional tube $PQ$ from end $P$ to end $Q$. If $K_P$ and $K_Q$ are the kinetic energy per unit volume of the fluid at end $P$ and end $Q$ respectively, then

Why does fluid flow faster in a narrow tube?

An ideal fluid flows through a pipe of circular cross-section with diameters $5 \ cm$ and $10 \ cm$ as shown. The ratio of velocities of the fluid at $A$ and $B$ is
