(N/A) venturi meter is a device used to measure the rate of flow of an incompressible fluid through a pipe.
It operates on the principle of Bernoulli's theorem.
It consists of a constriction or a 'throat' in the pipe,which causes a pressure difference between the wide part of the pipe and the narrow throat.
By measuring this pressure difference using a manometer,the velocity and the volume flow rate of the fluid can be calculated.

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.)

$A$ train with cross-sectional area $S_t$ is moving with speed $v_t$ inside a long tunnel of cross-sectional area $S_0$ $(S_0 = 4S_t)$. Assume that almost all the air (density $\rho$) in front of the train flows back between its sides and the walls of the tunnel. Also,the air flow with respect to the train is steady and laminar. Take the ambient pressure and that inside the train to be $p_0$. If the pressure in the region between the sides of the train and the tunnel walls is $p$,then $p_0 - p = \frac{7}{2N} \rho v_t^2$. The value of $N$ is. . . . .
