The figure shows a liquid of given density flowing steadily in a horizontal tube of varying cross-section. The cross-sectional areas at $A$ is $1.5 \, cm^2$,and at $B$ is $25 \, mm^2$. If the speed of the liquid at $B$ is $60 \, cm/s$,then find $(P_A - P_B)$ in $Pa$. (Given: $P_A$ and $P_B$ are liquid pressures at points $A$ and $B$ respectively. Density $\rho = 1000 \, kg/m^3$. $A$ and $B$ are on the axis of the tube.)

$A$ closed pipe containing liquid showed a pressure $P_1$ by gauge. When the valve was opened, the pressure was reduced to $P_2$. The speed of water flowing out of the pipe is ($\rho$ = density of water).

$A$ 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 ........ $Pa$.

At a hydroelectric power plant,the water pressure head is at a height of $300\; m$ and the water flow available is $100\; m^{3} s^{-1}.$ If the turbine generator efficiency is $60\%,$ estimate the electric power available from the plant (in $MW$) $\left(g=9.8\; m s^{-2}\right).$
