Water from a tap emerges vertically downwards with an initial speed of $1.0\,ms^{-1}.$ The cross-sectional area of the tap is $10^{-4}\,m^2.$ Assume that the pressure is constant throughout the stream of water and that flow is streamlined. The cross-sectional area of the stream,$0.15\,m$ below the tap would be: (take $g = 10\,ms^{-2}$ )

  • A
    $5\times 10^{-4}\,m^2$
  • B
    $5\times 10^{-5}\,m^2$
  • C
    $1\times 10^{-5}\,m^2$
  • D
    $2\times 10^{-5}\,m^2$
