The Pitot tube shown in the figure is used to measure fluid flow velocity in a pipe of cross-sectional area $S$. It was invented by a French engineer Henri Pitot in the early $18^{th}$ century. The volume of the gas flowing across the section of the pipe per unit time is (The difference in the liquid columns is $\Delta h$,$\rho_0$ and $\rho$ are the densities of liquid and the gas respectively):

  • A
    $Q = 2S\sqrt{\frac{\Delta h \rho_0 g}{\rho}}$
  • B
    $Q = S\sqrt{\frac{2\Delta h \rho_0 g}{\rho}}$
  • C
    $Q = S\sqrt{\frac{\Delta h \rho_0 g}{\rho}}$
  • D
    $Q = S\sqrt{\frac{2\Delta h \rho g}{\rho_0}}$

$A$ fluid is flowing through a horizontal pipe of varying cross-section,with speed $v \ m/s$ at a point where the pressure is $P \ Pa$. At another point where pressure is $\frac{P}{2} \ Pa$,its speed is $V \ m/s$. If the density of the fluid is $\rho \ kg/m^3$ and the flow is streamline,then $V$ is equal to

If water is flowing in a pipe with speed $2 \, m/s$,then its kinetic energy per unit volume is ........... $J/m^3$.
