(N/A) Bernoulli's equation is based on the assumption of an ideal fluid. Its limitations are as follows:
$1$. It is valid only for incompressible,non-viscous,and steady (streamline) flow of fluids.
$2$. It does not account for energy loss due to viscosity or friction between fluid layers.
$3$. It ignores the energy dissipated as heat during fluid flow.
The uses of Bernoulli's equation include:
$1$. It is used to calculate the velocity of efflux (Torricelli's Law).
$2$. It explains the working principle of a Venturi meter,which is used to measure the flow rate of a fluid.
$3$. It explains the aerodynamic lift on an airplane wing.
$4$. It is used in the design of atomizers and Bunsen burners.

In the diagram shown,the difference in the height of the liquid columns in the two tubes of the manometer is $5\, cm$. The cross-sectional areas of the tube at $A$ and $B$ are $6\, mm^2$ and $10\, mm^2$ respectively. The rate at which water flows through the tube is ........ $cc/s$ $(g = 10\, m/s^2)$.

Consider a completely full cylindrical water tank of height $1.6 \ m$ and cross-sectional area $0.5 \ m^2$. It has a small hole in its side at a height $90 \ cm$ from the bottom. Assume the cross-sectional area of the hole to be negligibly small as compared to that of the water tank. If a load of $50 \ kg$ is applied at the top surface of the water in the tank,then the velocity of the water coming out at the instant when the hole is opened is ......... $m/s$ $(g=10 \ m/s^2)$.

$A$ horizontal pipeline carries water in a stream-line flow. At a point along the pipe, where the cross-sectional area is $10 \,cm^2$, the velocity of water is $1 \,m/s$ and the pressure is $2000 \,Pa$. The pressure of water at another point where the cross-sectional area is $5 \,cm^2$ is (Given: density of water $\rho = 1000 \,kg/m^3$) (in $\,Pa$)

$A$ horizontal pipe of non-uniform cross-section allows water to flow through it with a velocity $1 \ m/s$ when the pressure is $50 \ kPa$ at a point. If the velocity of flow has to be $2 \ m/s$ at some other point,the pressure at that point should be: (in $kPa$)

$A$ steady flow of water passes along a horizontal tube from a wide section $X$ to the narrower section $Y$,see figure. Manometers are placed at $P$ and $Q$ at the sections. Which of the statements $A, B, C, D$ is most correct?
