Air is blowing across the horizontal wings of an aeroplane in such a way that its speeds below and above the wings are $90\, m/s$ and $120\, m/s$ respectively. If the density of air is $1.3\, kg/m^3$,then the pressure difference between the lower and upper sides of the wings will be ........ $N/m^2$.

Water from a tap emerges vertically downwards with an initial velocity of $4 \,m/s$. The cross-sectional area of the tap is $A$. The flow is steady and the pressure is constant throughout the stream of water. The distance $h$ vertically below the tap,where the cross-sectional area of the stream becomes $\frac{2}{3} A$,is (take $g = 10 \,m/s^2$): (in $\,m$)

As shown in the figure, a pump is designed as a horizontal cylinder with a piston having area $A$ and an outlet orifice having an area $a$. The piston moves with a constant velocity under the action of force $F$. If the density of the liquid is $\rho$, then the speed of the liquid emerging from the orifice is (assume $A \gg a$):

An $L$-shaped tube with a small orifice is held in a water stream as shown in the figure. The upper end of the tube is $10.6 \ cm$ above the surface of the water. What will be the height (in $cm$) of the jet of water coming from the orifice? The velocity of the water stream is $2.45 \ m/s$. (Take $g = 9.8 \ m/s^2$)
