Water is flowing steadily through a horizontal tube of non-uniform cross-section. If the pressure of water is $4 \times 10^4 \ N/m^2$ at a point where the cross-section is $0.02 \ m^2$ and the velocity of flow is $2 \ m/s$,what is the pressure at a point where the cross-section reduces to $0.01 \ m^2$?

  • A
    $1.4 \times 10^4 \ N/m^2$
  • B
    $3.4 \times 10^4 \ N/m^2$
  • C
    $2.4 \times 10^4 \ N/m^2$
  • D
    none of these
