$A$ steady flow of water passes along a horizontal tube from a wide section $X$ to the narrower section $Y$,see figure. Manometers are placed at $P$ and $Q$ at the sections. Which of the statements $A, B, C, D$ is most correct?

  • A
    water velocity at $X$ is greater than at $Y$
  • B
    the manometer at $P$ shows lower pressure than at $Q$
  • C
    kinetic energy per $m^3$ of water at $X$ = kinetic energy per $m^3$ at $Y$
  • D
    the manometer at $P$ shows greater pressure than at $Q$

$A$ horizontal pipe carries water in a streamlined flow. At a point along the pipe,where the cross-sectional area is $10 \text{ cm}^2$,the velocity of water is $1 \text{ ms}^{-1}$ and the pressure is $2000 \text{ Pa}$. What is the pressure of water at another point where the cross-sectional area is $5 \text{ cm}^2$ (in $Pa$)? [Density of water $= 1000 \text{ kgm}^{-3}$]

An ideal gas of density $\rho_1=0.2 \ kg \ m^{-3}$ enters a chimney of height $h$ at the rate of $\alpha=0.8 \ kg \ s^{-1}$ from its lower end,and escapes through the upper end as shown in the figure. The cross-sectional area of the lower end is $A_1=0.1 \ m^2$ and the upper end is $A_2=0.4 \ m^2$. The pressure and the temperature of the gas at the lower end are $600 \ Pa$ and $300 \ K$,respectively,while its temperature at the upper end is $150 \ K$. The chimney is heat insulated so that the gas undergoes adiabatic expansion. Take $g=10 \ ms^{-2}$ and the ratio of specific heats of the gas $\gamma=2$. Ignore atmospheric pressure. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) correct?

Water from a tap emerges vertically downwards with an initial velocity of $4 \,m/s$. The cross-sectional area of the tap is $A$. The flow is steady and the pressure is constant throughout the stream of water. The distance $h$ vertically below the tap,where the cross-sectional area of the stream becomes $\frac{2}{3} A$,is (take $g = 10 \,m/s^2$): (in $\,m$)
