(N/A) Bernoulli's equation is based on the assumption of steady,streamline flow where the velocity and pressure at any point remain constant over time. In turbulent flow,the velocity $(v)$ and pressure $(P)$ at any given point fluctuate randomly and change continuously with time. Therefore,the conditions required for the derivation of Bernoulli's equation are not satisfied in turbulent flow.

An aeroplane of mass $3 \times 10^4\,kg$ and total wing area of $120\,m^2$ is in a level flight at some height. The difference in pressure between the upper and lower surfaces of its wings in kilopascals is........... $kPa$ $(g=10\,m/s^2)$

$Assertion :$ The velocity of flow of a liquid is smaller when pressure is larger and vice-versa.
$Reason :$ According to Bernoulli's theorem,for the stream line flow of an ideal liquid,the total energy per unit mass remains constant.

$A$ closed pipe containing a 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 )

$A$ steady flow of a liquid of density $\rho$ is shown in the figure. At point $1$,the area of cross-section is $2A$ and the speed of flow of liquid is $\sqrt{2} \ m \ s^{-1}$. At point $2$,the area of cross-section is $A$. Between the points $1$ and $2$,the pressure difference is $100 \ N \ m^{-2}$ and the height difference is $10 \ cm$.
