Water flows in a horizontal tube as shown in the figure. The pressure of water changes by $600\, N/m^2$ between $A$ and $B$ where the cross-sectional areas are $30\, cm^2$ and $15\, cm^2$ respectively. Find the rate of flow of water through the tube.

  • A
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{10}} \times 10^{-3}\, m^3/s$
  • B
    $\frac{6}{\sqrt{10}} \times 10^{-3}\, m^3/s$
  • C
    $2\, m^3/s$
  • D
    $5\, m^3/s$

Consider a water tank as shown in the figure. Its cross-sectional area is $0.4\, m^{2}$. The tank has an opening $B$ near the bottom whose cross-sectional area is $1\, cm^{2}$. $A$ load of $24\, kg$ is applied on the water at the top. When the height of the water level is $40\, cm$ above the bottom,the velocity of water coming out of the opening $B$ is $v\, ms^{-1}$. The value of $v$,to the nearest integer,is ......$m/s$. [Take value of $g$ to be $10\, ms^{-2}$]
