(N/A) Bernoulli's equation is given by:
$P_{1} + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_{1}^{2} + \rho g h_{1} = P_{2} + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_{2}^{2} + \rho g h_{2}$
When a fluid is at rest,its velocity at every point is zero. Therefore,we substitute $v_{1} = 0$ and $v_{2} = 0$ into the equation:
$P_{1} + \rho g h_{1} = P_{2} + \rho g h_{2}$
Rearranging the terms,we get:
$P_{1} - P_{2} = \rho g(h_{2} - h_{1})$
This represents the hydrostatic pressure variation in a fluid at rest.

$A$ plane is in level flight at constant speed and each of its two wings has an area of $40 \,m^2$. If the speed of the air is $180 \,km/h$ over the lower wing surface and $252 \,km/h$ over the upper wing surface,the mass of the plane is . . . . . . $kg$. (Take air density to be $1 \,kg \,m^{-3}$ and $g=10 \,ms^{-2}$)

An $L$-shaped glass tube is just immersed in flowing water such that its opening is pointing against the flowing water. If the speed of the water current is $v$,then

The figure shows a liquid of given density flowing steadily in a horizontal tube of varying cross-section. The cross-sectional areas at $A$ is $1.5 \, cm^2$,and at $B$ is $25 \, mm^2$. If the speed of the liquid at $B$ is $60 \, cm/s$,then find $(P_A - P_B)$ in $Pa$. (Given: $P_A$ and $P_B$ are liquid pressures at points $A$ and $B$ respectively. Density $\rho = 1000 \, kg/m^3$. $A$ and $B$ are on the axis of the tube.)
