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.)

  • A
    $175$
  • B

  • C
    $135$
  • D

Glycerine of density $1.25 \times 10^3 \, kg \, m^{-3}$ is flowing through a conical section of a pipe. The area of cross-section of the pipe at its ends is $10 \, cm^2$ and $5 \, cm^2$, and the pressure drop across its length is $3 \, N \, m^{-2}$. The rate of flow of glycerine through the pipe is $x \times 10^{-5} \, m^3 \, s^{-1}$. The value of $x$ is $..............$.
