Water is flowing through a horizontal pipe of non-uniform cross-section. At the extreme narrow portion of the pipe, the water will have

Blood velocity: The flow of blood in a large artery of an anesthetised dog is diverted through a Venturi meter. The wider part of the meter has a cross-sectional area equal to that of the artery,$A = 8 \; mm^2$. The narrower part has an area $a = 4 \; mm^2$. The pressure drop in the artery is $24 \; Pa$. What is the speed (in $m/s$) of the blood in the artery?

Why does a flag (or ensign) flutter when there is strong wind? Explain.

$A$ bottle has a thin nozzle on top. It is filled with water,held horizontally at a height of $1 \,m$ and squeezed slowly by hands,so that the water jet coming out of the nozzle hits the ground at a distance of $2 \,m$. If the area over which the hands squeeze it is $10 \,cm^{2}$,the force applied by hand is close to .......... $N$ (take $g=10 \,m/s^{2}$ and density of water $=1000 \,kg/m^{3}$).

What is a venturi meter?

Water is flowing through a horizontal pipe of non-uniform cross-section. In the region of the narrowest part inside the pipe,the water will have
