The pressure of water in a water pipe when the tap is closed and opened is $3.5 \times 10^5 \, N/m^2$ and $3 \times 10^5 \, N/m^2$ respectively. With the tap open,the velocity of water flowing is ........... $m/s$. (Take density of water $\rho = 10^3 \, kg/m^3$)

Air is streaming past a horizontal aeroplane wing such that its speed is $120\, m/s$ over the upper surface and $90\, m/s$ at the lower surface. If the density of air is $1.3\, kg/m^3$ and the wing is $10\, m$ long and has an average width of $2\, m$,then the difference of the pressure on the two sides of the wing is ........ $N/m^2$.

Using the principle of a venturi-meter,explain the working of a carburetor and a spray pump.

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 $\,m$)

Water is flowing through a horizontal pipe of non-uniform cross-section. In the region of the narrowest part inside the pipe,the water will have
