(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.

$A$ liquid of density $600 \text{ kg/m}^3$ is flowing steadily in a tube of varying cross-section. The cross-section at a point $A$ is $1.0 \text{ cm}^2$ and that at $B$ is $20 \text{ mm}^2$. Both the points $A$ and $B$ are in the same horizontal plane,and the speed of the liquid at $A$ is $10 \text{ cm/s}$. The difference in pressures at $A$ and $B$ points is . . . . . . $\text{Pa}$.

$Assertion :$ The pressure of water increases when it flows from a narrow pipe to a wider pipe.
$Reason :$ According to the equation of continuity,$A_1v_1 = A_2v_2$,and by Bernoulli's principle,where velocity is high,pressure is low.

In a test experiment on a model aeroplane in a wind tunnel,the flow speeds on the upper and lower surfaces of the wings are $70 \,m/s$ and $65 \,m/s$ respectively. If the wing area is $2 \,m^2$,the lift of the wing is . . . . . . $N$. (Given density of air $= 1.2 \,kg/m^3$)
