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 $\,Pa$)

The figures below show water flowing through a horizontal pipe from left to right. Note that the pipe in the middle is narrower. Choose the most appropriate depiction of water levels in the vertical pipes.

$A$ liquid flows through a horizontal tube. The velocities of the liquid in the two sections which have areas of cross-section $A_1$ and $A_2$ are $v_1$ and $v_2$ respectively. The difference in the levels of the liquid in the two vertical tubes is $h$. The incorrect statement is

Water is flowing with a velocity of $2 \ m/s$ in a horizontal pipe where the cross-sectional area is $2 \times 10^{-2} \ m^2$ at a pressure of $4 \times 10^4 \ Pa$. The pressure at a cross-section of area $0.01 \ m^2$ in Pascal will be:

$A$ manometer connected to a closed tap reads $3.5 \times 10^5 \ N/m^2$. When the valve is opened,the reading of the manometer falls to $3.0 \times 10^5 \ N/m^2$. The velocity of the flow of water is ........ $m/s$.
