Water is flowing steadily through a horizontal tube of non-uniform cross-section. If the pressure of water is $4 \times 10^4 \ N/m^2$ at a point where the cross-section is $0.02 \ m^2$ and the velocity of flow is $2 \ m/s$,what is the pressure at a point where the cross-section reduces to $0.01 \ m^2$?

  • A
    $1.4 \times 10^4 \ N/m^2$
  • B
    $3.4 \times 10^4 \ N/m^2$
  • C
    $2.4 \times 10^4 \ N/m^2$
  • D
    none of these

$A$ plane is in level flight at constant speed and each of its two wings has an area of $25 \; m^{2}$. If the speed of the air is $180 \; km/h$ over the lower wing and $234 \; km/h$ over the upper wing surface,determine the plane's mass in $kg$. (Take air density to be $1 \; kg \; m^{-3}$ and $g = 9.8 \; m/s^{2}$).

$A$ horizontal pipe of non-uniform cross-section allows water to flow through it with a velocity $1 \ m/s$ when the pressure is $50 \ kPa$ at a point. If the velocity of flow has to be $2 \ m/s$ at some other point, the pressure at that point should be: (in $kPa$)
