Water from a tap emerges vertically downwards with an initial speed of $1.0\,ms^{-1}.$ The cross-sectional area of the tap is $10^{-4}\,m^2.$ Assume that the pressure is constant throughout the stream of water and that flow is streamlined. The cross-sectional area of the stream,$0.15\,m$ below the tap would be: (take $g = 10\,ms^{-2}$ )

  • A
    $5\times 10^{-4}\,m^2$
  • B
    $5\times 10^{-5}\,m^2$
  • C
    $1\times 10^{-5}\,m^2$
  • D
    $2\times 10^{-5}\,m^2$

Water is flowing in a conical tube as shown in the figure. The velocity of water at area $A_2$ is $60 \,cm/s$. The values of $A_1$ and $A_2$ are $10 \,cm^2$ and $5 \,cm^2$ respectively. The pressure difference between the two cross-sections is: (in $\,N/m^2$)

When a fluid passes through a constricted part of a pipe, what happens to its velocity and pressure?

Blood velocity: The flow of blood in a large artery of an anesthetised dog is diverted through a Venturi meter. The wider part of the meter has a cross-sectional area equal to that of the artery,$A = 8 \; mm^2$. The narrower part has an area $a = 4 \; mm^2$. The pressure drop in the artery is $24 \; Pa$. What is the speed (in $m/s$) of the blood in the artery?
