Assertion $(A)$: The upper surface of the wing of an aeroplane is made convex and the lower surface is made concave.
Reason $(R)$: The air currents at the top have smaller velocity and thus less pressure at the bottom than at the top.

Explain blood flow and heart attack with the help of Bernoulli's principle.

Water is flowing through a channel (lying in a vertical plane) as shown in the figure. Three sections $A, B$ and $C$ are shown. Sections $B$ and $C$ have equal area of cross-section. If $P_A, P_B$ and $P_C$ are the pressures at $A, B$ and $C$ respectively,then:

$A$ bottle has a thin nozzle on top. It is filled with water,held horizontally at a height of $1 \,m$ and squeezed slowly by hands,so that the water jet coming out of the nozzle hits the ground at a distance of $2 \,m$. If the area over which the hands squeeze it is $10 \,cm^{2}$,the force applied by hand is close to .......... $N$ (take $g=10 \,m/s^{2}$ and density of water $=1000 \,kg/m^{3}$).

Derive Bernoulli's equation for a steady,incompressible,and non-viscous (ideal) fluid flow.

An $L$-shaped tube with a small orifice is held in a water stream as shown in the figure. The upper end of the tube is $10.6 \ cm$ above the surface of the water. What will be the height (in $cm$) of the jet of water coming from the orifice? The velocity of the water stream is $2.45 \ m/s$. (Take $g = 9.8 \ m/s^2$)
