State Bernoulli's principle in words.
Solution
(N/A) Bernoulli's principle states that for an incompressible,non-viscous,and streamline flow of a fluid,the sum of pressure energy $(P)$,kinetic energy per unit volume $\left(\frac{1}{2}\rho v^{2}\right)$,and potential energy per unit volume $(\rho gh)$ remains constant at all points along a streamline.
Mathematically,this is expressed as: $P + \frac{1}{2}\rho v^{2} + \rho gh = \text{constant}$.
Mathematically,this is expressed as: $P + \frac{1}{2}\rho v^{2} + \rho gh = \text{constant}$.

Why is it dangerous to stand on the edge of a platform near the tracks when a train is passing at high speed? Explain.
Solution
(N/A) When a train passes at high speed,the air in contact with the train moves with the same velocity as the train. According to Bernoulli's principle,as the velocity of the air increases,its pressure decreases. This creates a region of low pressure between the person and the train. Since the air pressure further away from the train remains higher,a net pressure difference is created. This pressure difference exerts a force on the person directed towards the train,which can pull the person towards the moving train,making it dangerous.

Why do two rowing boats moving parallel to each other come closer (attract) to each other?
Solution
(N/A) According to Bernoulli's theorem,when the velocity of fluid flow increases,the pressure decreases.
As the boats move parallel to each other,the water in the region between the boats is forced to move faster relative to the boats compared to the water on the outer sides.
Consequently,the pressure exerted by the water in the region between the boats becomes lower than the pressure of the water on the outer sides.
This pressure difference creates a net force that pushes both boats toward each other,causing them to attract.

When a fluid passes through a constricted part of a pipe, what happens to its velocity and pressure?
A
Velocity increases and pressure decreases.
B
Velocity decreases and pressure increases.
C
Both velocity and pressure increase.
D
Both velocity and pressure decrease.
Solution
(A) According to the equation of continuity, $A_{1}v_{1} = A_{2}v_{2}$, which implies $v \propto \frac{1}{A}$. When a fluid passes through a constricted part, the cross-sectional area $A$ decreases, causing the velocity $v$ to increase.
According to Bernoulli's principle, for a horizontal pipe, $P + \frac{1}{2}\rho v^{2} = \text{constant}$. As the velocity $v$ increases, the pressure $P$ must decrease to keep the total energy constant.

Why does a flag (or ensign) flutter when there is strong wind? Explain.
Solution
(N/A) When there is strong wind,the air flows rapidly over the surface of the flag. According to Bernoulli's principle,for a horizontal flow of fluid,an increase in the speed of the fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure.
Since the wind speed is high at the free end of the flag,the pressure there becomes low.
However,the pressure near the support (pole) remains relatively higher.
This pressure difference creates a force that causes the flag to oscillate or flutter.

Explain why the roof of a building flies off during a stormy wind.
Solution
(N/A) According to Bernoulli's principle,for a streamline flow of an ideal fluid,the sum of pressure energy,kinetic energy,and potential energy per unit volume remains constant. During a storm,the wind blows at a very high velocity over the roof of the building. This high-velocity air creates a region of low pressure above the roof. Inside the building,the air is relatively still,resulting in higher atmospheric pressure beneath the roof. This pressure difference creates an upward force (lift) on the roof. When this upward force exceeds the weight of the roof,it causes the roof to fly off.

Why does an airplane run a certain length on the runway first before taking off?
Solution
(N/A) An airplane wing is designed with a special shape called an airfoil. As the airplane moves along the runway,air flows over the top and bottom surfaces of the wings. Due to the shape of the wing,the air velocity at the top is higher than at the bottom. According to $Bernoulli's$ principle,where the velocity of a fluid is higher,its pressure is lower. Thus,the pressure at the top of the wing becomes lower than the pressure at the bottom. This pressure difference creates an upward force known as lift. Once the airplane reaches a sufficient speed,the lift force becomes greater than the weight of the airplane,allowing it to take off.

What is the Magnus effect?
Solution
(N/A) The Magnus effect is the phenomenon where a spinning object moving through a fluid (like air) experiences a transverse force perpendicular to its direction of motion.
As the object spins,it drags the surrounding fluid along with it due to viscosity.
On one side of the object,the fluid velocity increases (due to the spin direction aligning with the flow),leading to a decrease in pressure according to Bernoulli's principle.
On the opposite side,the fluid velocity decreases,leading to an increase in pressure.
This pressure difference results in a net force that causes the trajectory of the spinning object to curve.

$A$ fluid is flowing through a horizontal pipe of varying cross-section,with speed $v \ m/s$ at a point where the pressure is $P \ Pa$. At another point where pressure is $\frac{P}{2} \ Pa$,its speed is $V \ m/s$. If the density of the fluid is $\rho \ kg/m^3$ and the flow is streamline,then $V$ is equal to
A
$\sqrt{\frac{P}{2\rho} + v^2}$
B
$\sqrt{\frac{P}{\rho} + v^2}$
C
$\sqrt{\frac{2P}{\rho} + v^2}$
D
$\sqrt{\frac{P}{\rho} + v}$
Solution
(B) For a horizontal pipe,the height $h$ is constant,so $h_1 = h_2$. According to Bernoulli's equation:
$P_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2$
Given $P_1 = P$,$v_1 = v$,$P_2 = \frac{P}{2}$,and $v_2 = V$.
Substituting these values:
$P + \frac{1}{2}\rho v^2 = \frac{P}{2} + \frac{1}{2}\rho V^2$
Subtract $\frac{P}{2}$ from both sides:
$\frac{P}{2} + \frac{1}{2}\rho v^2 = \frac{1}{2}\rho V^2$
Multiply the entire equation by $\frac{2}{\rho}$:
$\frac{P}{\rho} + v^2 = V^2$
Taking the square root on both sides:
$V = \sqrt{\frac{P}{\rho} + v^2}$
$P_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2$
Given $P_1 = P$,$v_1 = v$,$P_2 = \frac{P}{2}$,and $v_2 = V$.
Substituting these values:
$P + \frac{1}{2}\rho v^2 = \frac{P}{2} + \frac{1}{2}\rho V^2$
Subtract $\frac{P}{2}$ from both sides:
$\frac{P}{2} + \frac{1}{2}\rho v^2 = \frac{1}{2}\rho V^2$
Multiply the entire equation by $\frac{2}{\rho}$:
$\frac{P}{\rho} + v^2 = V^2$
Taking the square root on both sides:
$V = \sqrt{\frac{P}{\rho} + v^2}$

$A$ liquid enters at point $A_{1}$ with a speed of $3.5 \ m/s$ and leaves at point $A_{2}$. Find the height attained by the liquid above point $A_{2}$ (in $cm$). (in $.25$)
A
$61$
B
$51$
C
$41$
D
$71$
Solution
(A) From the equation of continuity,$A_{1}V_{1} = A_{2}V_{2}$. Since the cross-sectional area is uniform $(A_{1} = A_{2})$,the speed of the liquid remains constant,so $V_{1} = V_{2} = 3.5 \ m/s$.
Applying Bernoulli's theorem between point $A_{1}$ (at height $0$) and the maximum height $h$ reached above point $A_{2}$ (where the final velocity is $0$):
$P_{atm} + \frac{1}{2} \rho V_{1}^{2} + \rho g(0) = P_{atm} + \frac{1}{2} \rho(0)^{2} + \rho gh$
Simplifying the equation:
$\frac{1}{2} \rho V_{1}^{2} = \rho gh$
$h = \frac{V_{1}^{2}}{2g}$
Substituting the given values ($V_{1} = 3.5 \ m/s$ and $g = 9.8 \ m/s^{2}$):
$h = \frac{(3.5)^{2}}{2 \times 9.8} = \frac{12.25}{19.6} = 0.625 \ m$
Converting to centimeters:
$h = 0.625 \times 100 = 62.5 \ cm$.
Note: Using $g = 10 \ m/s^{2}$ gives $h = \frac{12.25}{20} = 0.6125 \ m = 61.25 \ cm$. Thus,option $A$ is correct.
Applying Bernoulli's theorem between point $A_{1}$ (at height $0$) and the maximum height $h$ reached above point $A_{2}$ (where the final velocity is $0$):
$P_{atm} + \frac{1}{2} \rho V_{1}^{2} + \rho g(0) = P_{atm} + \frac{1}{2} \rho(0)^{2} + \rho gh$
Simplifying the equation:
$\frac{1}{2} \rho V_{1}^{2} = \rho gh$
$h = \frac{V_{1}^{2}}{2g}$
Substituting the given values ($V_{1} = 3.5 \ m/s$ and $g = 9.8 \ m/s^{2}$):
$h = \frac{(3.5)^{2}}{2 \times 9.8} = \frac{12.25}{19.6} = 0.625 \ m$
Converting to centimeters:
$h = 0.625 \times 100 = 62.5 \ cm$.
Note: Using $g = 10 \ m/s^{2}$ gives $h = \frac{12.25}{20} = 0.6125 \ m = 61.25 \ cm$. Thus,option $A$ is correct.

A
$304200$

$304500$
C
$302500$
D
$303500$
Solution
(B) $1$. Apply the equation of continuity: $A_{1} v_{1} = A_{2} v_{2}$.
Since $A = \pi (d/2)^{2}$,we have $d_{1}^{2} v_{1} = d_{2}^{2} v_{2}$.
Substituting the values: $5^{2} \times 4 = 2^{2} \times v_{2} \implies 25 \times 4 = 4 \times v_{2} \implies v_{2} = 25 \, m/s$.
$2$. Apply Bernoulli's equation (assuming horizontal flow): $P_{1} + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_{1}^{2} = P_{2} + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_{2}^{2}$.
$3$. Rearrange to find the pressure difference $\Delta P = P_{1} - P_{2} = \frac{1}{2} \rho (v_{2}^{2} - v_{1}^{2})$.
$4$. Substitute the values: $\Delta P = \frac{1}{2} \times 1000 \times (25^{2} - 4^{2})$.
$\Delta P = 500 \times (625 - 16) = 500 \times 609 = 304500 \, Pa$.
Since $A = \pi (d/2)^{2}$,we have $d_{1}^{2} v_{1} = d_{2}^{2} v_{2}$.
Substituting the values: $5^{2} \times 4 = 2^{2} \times v_{2} \implies 25 \times 4 = 4 \times v_{2} \implies v_{2} = 25 \, m/s$.
$2$. Apply Bernoulli's equation (assuming horizontal flow): $P_{1} + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_{1}^{2} = P_{2} + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_{2}^{2}$.
$3$. Rearrange to find the pressure difference $\Delta P = P_{1} - P_{2} = \frac{1}{2} \rho (v_{2}^{2} - v_{1}^{2})$.
$4$. Substitute the values: $\Delta P = \frac{1}{2} \times 1000 \times (25^{2} - 4^{2})$.
$\Delta P = 500 \times (625 - 16) = 500 \times 609 = 304500 \, Pa$.

Cross-sectional area of tank $A = 0.4\, m^{2}$
Cross-sectional area of opening $a = 1\, cm^{2} = 10^{-4}\, m^{2}$
Height of water $H = 40\, cm = 0.4\, m$
Acceleration due to gravity $g = 10\, ms^{-2}$
Density of water $\rho = 1000\, kg/m^{3}$
Applying Bernoulli's equation at the top surface and at the opening $B$:
$P_{top} + \rho gH + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_{1}^{2} = P_{atm} + \frac{1}{2}\rho v^{2}$
Where $P_{top} = P_{atm} + \frac{mg}{A}$
Substituting the values:
$(P_{atm} + \frac{mg}{A}) + \rho gH = P_{atm} + \frac{1}{2}\rho v^{2}$ (Assuming $v_{1} \approx 0$ as $A \gg a$)
$\frac{mg}{A} + \rho gH = \frac{1}{2}\rho v^{2}$
$v = \sqrt{2gH + \frac{2mg}{A\rho}}$
$v = \sqrt{2 \times 10 \times 0.4 + \frac{2 \times 24 \times 10}{0.4 \times 1000}}$
$v = \sqrt{8 + \frac{480}{400}} = \sqrt{8 + 1.2} = \sqrt{9.2}$
$v \approx 3.033\, m/s$

The pressure difference between the wide and narrow sections of the pipe is $4100 \; Pa$. At the wider section,the velocity of the fluid is $\frac{\sqrt{x}}{6} \; m \cdot s^{-1}$. Find the value of $x$. (Given $g = 10 \; m \cdot s^{-2}$)

Solution
(A) From the equation of continuity,$A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2$.
Given $A_1 = a$ and $A_2 = \frac{a}{2}$,we have $a v_1 = \frac{a}{2} v_2$,which implies $v_2 = 2 v_1$.
Applying Bernoulli's theorem between the two sections:
$P_1 + \rho g h_1 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_1^2 = P_2 + \rho g h_2 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_2^2$.
Taking the lower section as reference level $(h_2 = 0)$,then $h_1 = 1 \; m$.
$P_1 - P_2 = \rho g (h_2 - h_1) + \frac{1}{2} \rho (v_2^2 - v_1^2)$.
Substituting the given values: $4100 = 800 \times [10 \times (0 - 1) + \frac{1}{2} ( (2v_1)^2 - v_1^2 )]$.
$4100 = 800 \times [-10 + \frac{3 v_1^2}{2}]$.
$\frac{4100}{800} = -10 + \frac{3 v_1^2}{2}$.
$5.125 = -10 + 1.5 v_1^2$.
$15.125 = 1.5 v_1^2$.
$v_1^2 = \frac{15.125}{1.5} = \frac{121}{12}$.
$v_1 = \sqrt{\frac{121}{12}} = \frac{11}{\sqrt{12}} = \frac{11 \sqrt{3}}{6} = \frac{\sqrt{121 \times 3}}{6} = \frac{\sqrt{363}}{6}$.
Comparing this with $\frac{\sqrt{x}}{6}$,we get $x = 363$.
Given $A_1 = a$ and $A_2 = \frac{a}{2}$,we have $a v_1 = \frac{a}{2} v_2$,which implies $v_2 = 2 v_1$.
Applying Bernoulli's theorem between the two sections:
$P_1 + \rho g h_1 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_1^2 = P_2 + \rho g h_2 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_2^2$.
Taking the lower section as reference level $(h_2 = 0)$,then $h_1 = 1 \; m$.
$P_1 - P_2 = \rho g (h_2 - h_1) + \frac{1}{2} \rho (v_2^2 - v_1^2)$.
Substituting the given values: $4100 = 800 \times [10 \times (0 - 1) + \frac{1}{2} ( (2v_1)^2 - v_1^2 )]$.
$4100 = 800 \times [-10 + \frac{3 v_1^2}{2}]$.
$\frac{4100}{800} = -10 + \frac{3 v_1^2}{2}$.
$5.125 = -10 + 1.5 v_1^2$.
$15.125 = 1.5 v_1^2$.
$v_1^2 = \frac{15.125}{1.5} = \frac{121}{12}$.
$v_1 = \sqrt{\frac{121}{12}} = \frac{11}{\sqrt{12}} = \frac{11 \sqrt{3}}{6} = \frac{\sqrt{121 \times 3}}{6} = \frac{\sqrt{363}}{6}$.
Comparing this with $\frac{\sqrt{x}}{6}$,we get $x = 363$.

(C) Let $A = 0.5 \; m^{2}$ be the area of the tank,$a = 1 \; cm^{2} = 10^{-4} \; m^{2}$ be the area of the opening,$M = 25 \; kg$ be the mass applied,and $h = 40 \; cm = 0.4 \; m$ be the height of the water column.
Applying Bernoulli's principle at the top surface and the opening:
$P_{top} + \rho g h = P_{atm} + \frac{1}{2} \rho v^{2}$
Here,$P_{top} = P_{atm} + \frac{Mg}{A}$.
Substituting the values:
$P_{atm} + \frac{25 \times 10}{0.5} + 1000 \times 10 \times 0.4 = P_{atm} + \frac{1}{2} \times 1000 \times v^{2}$
$500 + 4000 = 500 v^{2}$
$4500 = 500 v^{2}$
$v^{2} = 9$
$v = 3 \; m \; s^{-1} = 300 \; cm \; s^{-1}$.
Applying Bernoulli's principle at the top surface and the opening:
$P_{top} + \rho g h = P_{atm} + \frac{1}{2} \rho v^{2}$

Substituting the values:
$P_{atm} + \frac{25 \times 10}{0.5} + 1000 \times 10 \times 0.4 = P_{atm} + \frac{1}{2} \times 1000 \times v^{2}$
$500 + 4000 = 500 v^{2}$
$4500 = 500 v^{2}$
$v^{2} = 9$

B

C

D

Solution
(C) Given:
Density $\rho = 750\,kg\,m^{-3}$
$A_{1} = 1.2 \times 10^{-2}\,m^{2}$
$A_{2} = \frac{A_{1}}{2} = 0.6 \times 10^{-2}\,m^{2}$
Pressure difference $\Delta P = P_{1} - P_{2} = 4500\,Pa$
Using the Equation of Continuity:
$A_{1}V_{1} = A_{2}V_{2}$
$A_{1}V_{1} = (A_{1}/2)V_{2} \Rightarrow V_{2} = 2V_{1}$
Using Bernoulli's Equation for a horizontal pipe $(h_{1} = h_{2})$:
$P_{1} + \frac{1}{2}\rho V_{1}^{2} = P_{2} + \frac{1}{2}\rho V_{2}^{2}$
$P_{1} - P_{2} = \frac{1}{2}\rho(V_{2}^{2} - V_{1}^{2})$
$4500 = \frac{1}{2} \times 750 \times ((2V_{1})^{2} - V_{1}^{2})$
$4500 = 375 \times (4V_{1}^{2} - V_{1}^{2})$
$4500 = 375 \times 3V_{1}^{2}$
$4500 = 1125V_{1}^{2}$
$V_{1}^{2} = 4 \Rightarrow V_{1} = 2\,m\,s^{-1}$
Rate of flow (Volume flow rate) $Q = A_{1}V_{1}$
$Q = (1.2 \times 10^{-2}) \times 2 = 2.4 \times 10^{-2}\,m^{3}\,s^{-1}$
$Q = 24 \times 10^{-3}\,m^{3}\,s^{-1}$
Thus,the rate of flow is $24 \times 10^{-3}\,m^{3}\,s^{-1}$.
Density $\rho = 750\,kg\,m^{-3}$
$A_{1} = 1.2 \times 10^{-2}\,m^{2}$
$A_{2} = \frac{A_{1}}{2} = 0.6 \times 10^{-2}\,m^{2}$
Pressure difference $\Delta P = P_{1} - P_{2} = 4500\,Pa$
Using the Equation of Continuity:
$A_{1}V_{1} = A_{2}V_{2}$
$A_{1}V_{1} = (A_{1}/2)V_{2} \Rightarrow V_{2} = 2V_{1}$
Using Bernoulli's Equation for a horizontal pipe $(h_{1} = h_{2})$:
$P_{1} + \frac{1}{2}\rho V_{1}^{2} = P_{2} + \frac{1}{2}\rho V_{2}^{2}$
$P_{1} - P_{2} = \frac{1}{2}\rho(V_{2}^{2} - V_{1}^{2})$
$4500 = \frac{1}{2} \times 750 \times ((2V_{1})^{2} - V_{1}^{2})$
$4500 = 375 \times (4V_{1}^{2} - V_{1}^{2})$
$4500 = 375 \times 3V_{1}^{2}$
$4500 = 1125V_{1}^{2}$
$V_{1}^{2} = 4 \Rightarrow V_{1} = 2\,m\,s^{-1}$
Rate of flow (Volume flow rate) $Q = A_{1}V_{1}$
$Q = (1.2 \times 10^{-2}) \times 2 = 2.4 \times 10^{-2}\,m^{3}\,s^{-1}$
$Q = 24 \times 10^{-3}\,m^{3}\,s^{-1}$
Thus,the rate of flow is $24 \times 10^{-3}\,m^{3}\,s^{-1}$.

Consider a cylindrical tank of radius $1\,m$ filled with water. The top surface of the water is at $15\,m$ from the bottom of the cylinder. There is a hole on the wall of the cylinder at a height of $5\,m$ from the bottom. $A$ force of $5 \times 10^{5}\,N$ is applied on the top surface of the water using a piston. Calculate the speed of efflux from the hole. (Given: atmospheric pressure $P_{A} = 1.01 \times 10^{5}\,Pa$,density of water $\rho_{w} = 1000\,kg/m^{3}$,and gravitational acceleration $g = 10\,m/s^{2}$) (in $,m/s$)
A
$11.6$
B
$10.8$
C
$17.8$
D

Solution
(C) Let the pressure at the top surface be $P_{1}$ and at the hole be $P_{2}$.
The area of the piston $A = \pi r^{2} = \pi(1)^{2} = \pi\,m^{2}$.
The pressure exerted by the piston is $P_{piston} = \frac{F}{A} = \frac{5 \times 10^{5}}{\pi}\,Pa$.
The total pressure at the top surface is $P_{1} = P_{A} + P_{piston} = 1.01 \times 10^{5} + \frac{5 \times 10^{5}}{\pi}$.
Using Bernoulli's equation between the top surface $(1)$ and the hole $(2)$:
$P_{1} + \rho g h_{1} = P_{2} + \rho g h_{2} + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_{e}^{2}$
Here,$P_{2} = P_{A}$ (atmospheric pressure),$h_{1} = 15\,m$,$h_{2} = 5\,m$,and $\rho = 1000\,kg/m^{3}$.
$P_{A} + \frac{5 \times 10^{5}}{\pi} + \rho g h_{1} = P_{A} + \rho g h_{2} + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_{e}^{2}$
$\frac{5 \times 10^{5}}{\pi} + \rho g (h_{1} - h_{2}) = \frac{1}{2} \rho v_{e}^{2}$
$\frac{5 \times 10^{5}}{\pi} + 1000 \times 10 \times (15 - 5) = \frac{1}{2} \times 1000 \times v_{e}^{2}$
$\frac{500000}{3.14} + 100000 = 500 v_{e}^{2}$
$159235.6 + 100000 = 500 v_{e}^{2}$
$259235.6 = 500 v_{e}^{2}$

$A$ 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 $=1000 \,kg/m^{3}$).
A
$20$
B
$10$
C
$5$
D
$2.5$
Solution
(B) Using Bernoulli's equation at the inside of the bottle (point $1$) and at the nozzle (point $2$):
$p_{1} + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_{1}^{2} = p_{2} + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_{2}^{2}$
Here,$p_{1} = p_{\text{atm}} + \frac{F}{A}$ and $p_{2} = p_{\text{atm}}$. Since the squeezing is slow,we assume $v_{1} \approx 0$.
Therefore,$p_{\text{atm}} + \frac{F}{A} = p_{\text{atm}} + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_{2}^{2} \Rightarrow v_{2}^{2} = \frac{2F}{\rho A}$ .......... $(i)$
For a horizontal projectile motion from height $h$,the range $R$ is given by $R = v_{2} \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$.
Squaring both sides,$R^{2} = v_{2}^{2} \left(\frac{2h}{g}\right) \Rightarrow v_{2}^{2} = \frac{R^{2}g}{2h}$ .......... $(ii)$
Equating $(i)$ and $(ii)$:
$\frac{2F}{\rho A} = \frac{R^{2}g}{2h} \Rightarrow F = \frac{R^{2}g \rho A}{4h}$
Given $R = 2 \,m$,$g = 10 \,m/s^{2}$,$\rho = 1000 \,kg/m^{3}$,$A = 10 \,cm^{2} = 10 \times 10^{-4} \,m^{2} = 10^{-3} \,m^{2}$,and $h = 1 \,m$:
$F = \frac{(2)^{2} \times 10 \times 1000 \times 10^{-3}}{4 \times 1} = \frac{4 \times 10 \times 1}{4} = 10 \,N$.
$p_{1} + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_{1}^{2} = p_{2} + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_{2}^{2}$
Here,$p_{1} = p_{\text{atm}} + \frac{F}{A}$ and $p_{2} = p_{\text{atm}}$. Since the squeezing is slow,we assume $v_{1} \approx 0$.
Therefore,$p_{\text{atm}} + \frac{F}{A} = p_{\text{atm}} + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_{2}^{2} \Rightarrow v_{2}^{2} = \frac{2F}{\rho A}$ .......... $(i)$
For a horizontal projectile motion from height $h$,the range $R$ is given by $R = v_{2} \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$.

$\frac{2F}{\rho A} = \frac{R^{2}g}{2h} \Rightarrow F = \frac{R^{2}g \rho A}{4h}$
Given $R = 2 \,m$,$g = 10 \,m/s^{2}$,$\rho = 1000 \,kg/m^{3}$,$A = 10 \,cm^{2} = 10 \times 10^{-4} \,m^{2} = 10^{-3} \,m^{2}$,and $h = 1 \,m$:
$F = \frac{(2)^{2} \times 10 \times 1000 \times 10^{-3}}{4 \times 1} = \frac{4 \times 10 \times 1}{4} = 10 \,N$.

The figures below show water flowing through a horizontal pipe from left to right. Note that the pipe in the middle is narrower. Choose the most appropriate depiction of water levels in the vertical pipes.
A
B
C
D
Solution
(C) According to Bernoulli's equation for streamline flow of an incompressible,non-viscous fluid:
$p + \frac{1}{2} \rho v^{2} + \rho g h = \text{constant}$
In the given horizontal pipe,the height $h$ is constant for all sections.
Therefore,the equation simplifies to:
$p + \frac{1}{2} \rho v^{2} = \text{constant}$
According to the equation of continuity,$A_{1}v_{1} = A_{2}v_{2}$. Since the middle section of the pipe is narrower ($A$ is smaller),the velocity of the fluid $(v)$ must increase in that section to maintain a constant flow rate.
As the velocity $v$ increases in the narrow section,the pressure $p$ must decrease to keep the sum constant.
Therefore,the water level in the middle vertical pipe will be lower than the water levels in the wider sections on the left and right. The correct representation is shown in the solution image.

Water containing air bubbles flows without turbulence through a horizontal pipe which has a region of narrow cross-section. In this region,the bubbles
A
move with greater speed and are smaller in size than in the rest of the pipe
B
move with greater speed and are larger in size than in the rest of the pipe
C
move with lesser speed and are smaller in size than in the rest of the pipe
D
move with lesser speed and are of the same size as in the rest of the pipe
Solution
(B) According to the equation of continuity,$A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2$. In the narrow region,the cross-sectional area $A$ decreases,so the velocity $v$ of the fluid increases $(v \propto \frac{1}{A})$.
According to Bernoulli's principle for a horizontal pipe,$p + \frac{1}{2} \rho v^2 = \text{constant}$. Since the velocity $v$ increases in the narrow region,the pressure $p$ must decrease.
As the external pressure on the air bubbles decreases in the narrow region,the air inside the bubbles expands,causing the bubbles to become larger in size. Thus,the bubbles move with greater speed and are larger in size.

The platelets are drifting with the blood flowing in a streamline flow through a horizontal artery as shown below. The artery is contracted in region $II$. Choose the correct statement.
A
As the platelets enter a constriction,the platelets get squeezed closer together in the narrow region and hence the fluid pressure must rise there.
B
As the platelets enter a constriction,pressure is lower there.
C
The artery's cross-section area is smaller in the constriction and thus the pressure must be larger there because pressure equals the force divided by area.
D
Pressure is same in all the parts of the artery.
Solution
(B) Let $A_1$ be the area of region $I$ and $v_1$ be the velocity of blood in this region.
Similarly,$A_2$ and $v_2$ be the area and velocity in region $II$.
Using the equation of continuity,$A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2$.
Since $A_1 > A_2$,it follows that $v_2 > v_1$.
Now,using Bernoulli's theorem for horizontal flow,$p + \frac{1}{2} \rho v^2 = \text{constant}$.
Since $v_2 > v_1$,the pressure $p_2$ must be less than $p_1$ $(p_2 < p_1)$.
Hence,the pressure is lower in region $II$ when platelets enter a constriction.
Similarly,$A_2$ and $v_2$ be the area and velocity in region $II$.
Using the equation of continuity,$A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2$.
Since $A_1 > A_2$,it follows that $v_2 > v_1$.
Now,using Bernoulli's theorem for horizontal flow,$p + \frac{1}{2} \rho v^2 = \text{constant}$.
Since $v_2 > v_1$,the pressure $p_2$ must be less than $p_1$ $(p_2 < p_1)$.
Hence,the pressure is lower in region $II$ when platelets enter a constriction.

$A$ liquid is flowing in a horizontal pipe of non-uniform cross-section. Which of the following quantities may remain unchanged with respect to time?
A
Pressure energy per unit volume
B
Kinetic energy per unit volume
C
Potential energy per unit volume
D
Speed of flow
Solution
(C) For a horizontal pipe, the height $h$ of the pipe remains constant at all points.
Since the potential energy per unit volume is given by $\rho gh$, where $\rho$ is the density of the liquid, $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity, and $h$ is the height, this quantity remains constant throughout the flow.
In a non-uniform pipe, the cross-sectional area $A$ changes, which causes the velocity $v$ to change according to the equation of continuity $(A_1v_1 = A_2v_2)$.
Consequently, the kinetic energy per unit volume $(\frac{1}{2}\rho v^2)$ and the pressure energy $(P)$ change along the pipe to satisfy Bernoulli's principle.
Therefore, the potential energy per unit volume is the quantity that remains unchanged.

Since $A_A < A_B$,it follows that $V_A > V_B$.
Applying Bernoulli's equation between $A$ and $B$ (at the same height): $P_A + \frac{1}{2} \rho V_A^2 = P_B + \frac{1}{2} \rho V_B^2$.
Since $V_A > V_B$,we have $\frac{1}{2} \rho V_A^2 > \frac{1}{2} \rho V_B^2$,which implies $P_A < P_B$ ... $(1)$.
Comparing points $B$ and $C$:
Since $A_B = A_C$,the velocity of fluid is the same,i.e.,$V_B = V_C$.
Applying Bernoulli's equation: $P_B + \frac{1}{2} \rho V_B^2 + \rho g h_B = P_C + \frac{1}{2} \rho V_C^2 + \rho g h_C$.
Since $V_B = V_C$,this simplifies to $P_B + \rho g h_B = P_C + \rho g h_C$.
Given that $h_B > h_C$,it follows that $P_B < P_C$ ... $(2)$.
Combining $(1)$ and $(2)$,we get $P_A < P_B < P_C$.

A
$1018$
B
$516$
C
$1140$
D
$2250$
Solution
(A) According to Bernoulli's principle for horizontal flow $(h_1 = h_2)$:
$P_1 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_1^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_2^2$
where $P_1$ and $v_1$ are pressure and velocity at the top surface,and $P_2$ and $v_2$ are pressure and velocity at the bottom surface.
The pressure difference $\Delta P = P_2 - P_1$ is given by:
$\Delta P = \frac{1}{2} \rho (v_1^2 - v_2^2)$
Given: $\rho = 1.293 \, kg/m^3$,$v_1 = 60 \, m/s$,$v_2 = 45 \, m/s$.
$\Delta P = \frac{1}{2} \times 1.293 \times (60^2 - 45^2)$
$\Delta P = 0.6465 \times (3600 - 2025)$
$\Delta P = 0.6465 \times 1575$
$\Delta P \approx 1018.23 \, N/m^2$.
Thus,the difference in pressure is approximately $1018 \, N/m^2$.
$P_1 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_1^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_2^2$
where $P_1$ and $v_1$ are pressure and velocity at the top surface,and $P_2$ and $v_2$ are pressure and velocity at the bottom surface.
The pressure difference $\Delta P = P_2 - P_1$ is given by:
$\Delta P = \frac{1}{2} \rho (v_1^2 - v_2^2)$
Given: $\rho = 1.293 \, kg/m^3$,$v_1 = 60 \, m/s$,$v_2 = 45 \, m/s$.
$\Delta P = \frac{1}{2} \times 1.293 \times (60^2 - 45^2)$
$\Delta P = 0.6465 \times (3600 - 2025)$
$\Delta P = 0.6465 \times 1575$
$\Delta P \approx 1018.23 \, N/m^2$.
Thus,the difference in pressure is approximately $1018 \, N/m^2$.

D

Solution
(D) The lift force $F_L$ must balance the weight of the aircraft: $F_L = mg = (5.4 \times 10^5 \, kg) \times (10 \, m/s^2) = 5.4 \times 10^6 \, N$.
The pressure difference $\Delta P = P_2 - P_1$ between the lower and upper surfaces is given by $\Delta P = \frac{F_L}{A} = \frac{5.4 \times 10^6 \, N}{500 \, m^2} = 1.08 \times 10^4 \, Pa$.
Using Bernoulli's equation: $P_1 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_1^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_2^2$,where $v_1$ is the speed on the lower surface and $v_2$ is the speed on the upper surface.
$P_2 - P_1 = \frac{1}{2} \rho (v_1^2 - v_2^2) = \frac{1}{2} \rho (v_1 - v_2)(v_1 + v_2)$.
The speed of the aircraft is $v = 1080 \, km/h = 1080 \times \frac{5}{18} \, m/s = 300 \, m/s$. Assuming $v_1 + v_2 \approx 2v = 600 \, m/s$.
$1.08 \times 10^4 = \frac{1}{2} \times 1.2 \times (v_2 - v_1) \times 600$.
$1.08 \times 10^4 = 360 \times (v_2 - v_1) \implies v_2 - v_1 = \frac{10800}{360} = 30 \, m/s$.
The fractional increase is $\frac{v_2 - v_1}{v} \times 100 = \frac{30}{300} \times 100 = 10 \%$.
The pressure difference $\Delta P = P_2 - P_1$ between the lower and upper surfaces is given by $\Delta P = \frac{F_L}{A} = \frac{5.4 \times 10^6 \, N}{500 \, m^2} = 1.08 \times 10^4 \, Pa$.

$1.08 \times 10^4 = \frac{1}{2} \times 1.2 \times (v_2 - v_1) \times 600$.
$1.08 \times 10^4 = 360 \times (v_2 - v_1) \implies v_2 - v_1 = \frac{10800}{360} = 30 \, m/s$.
The fractional increase is $\frac{v_2 - v_1}{v} \times 100 = \frac{30}{300} \times 100 = 10 \%$.

Glycerine of density $1.25 \times 10^3 \, kg \, m^{-3}$ is flowing through a conical section of a pipe. The area of cross-section of the pipe at its ends is $10 \, cm^2$ and $5 \, cm^2$, and the pressure drop across its length is $3 \, N \, m^{-2}$. The rate of flow of glycerine through the pipe is $x \times 10^{-5} \, m^3 \, s^{-1}$. The value of $x$ is $..............$.
A
$2$
B
$6$
C
$8$
D
$4$
Solution
(D) Given: Density $\rho = 1.25 \times 10^3 \, kg \, m^{-3}$, $A_1 = 10 \, cm^2 = 10 \times 10^{-4} \, m^2$, $A_2 = 5 \, cm^2 = 5 \times 10^{-4} \, m^2$, $\Delta P = P_1 - P_2 = 3 \, N \, m^{-2}$.
By the equation of continuity, $A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2$.
Therefore, $v_1 = \frac{A_2}{A_1} v_2 = \frac{5}{10} v_2 = 0.5 v_2$.
Using Bernoulli's equation for horizontal flow: $P_1 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_1^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_2^2$.
$\Delta P = P_1 - P_2 = \frac{1}{2} \rho (v_2^2 - v_1^2)$.
Substituting $v_1 = 0.5 v_2$:
$3 = \frac{1}{2} \times (1.25 \times 10^3) \times (v_2^2 - (0.5 v_2)^2)$.
$3 = 0.625 \times 10^3 \times (v_2^2 - 0.25 v_2^2) = 0.625 \times 10^3 \times 0.75 v_2^2$.
$3 = 468.75 v_2^2$.
$v_2^2 = \frac{3}{468.75} = 0.0064$.
$v_2 = \sqrt{0.0064} = 0.08 \, m \, s^{-1}$.
The rate of flow (discharge) $Q = A_2 v_2 = (5 \times 10^{-4} \, m^2) \times (0.08 \, m \, s^{-1}) = 40 \times 10^{-6} \, m^3 \, s^{-1} = 4 \times 10^{-5} \, m^3 \, s^{-1}$.
Comparing with $x \times 10^{-5} \, m^3 \, s^{-1}$, we get $x = 4$.
By the equation of continuity, $A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2$.
Therefore, $v_1 = \frac{A_2}{A_1} v_2 = \frac{5}{10} v_2 = 0.5 v_2$.
Using Bernoulli's equation for horizontal flow: $P_1 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_1^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_2^2$.
$\Delta P = P_1 - P_2 = \frac{1}{2} \rho (v_2^2 - v_1^2)$.
Substituting $v_1 = 0.5 v_2$:
$3 = \frac{1}{2} \times (1.25 \times 10^3) \times (v_2^2 - (0.5 v_2)^2)$.
$3 = 0.625 \times 10^3 \times (v_2^2 - 0.25 v_2^2) = 0.625 \times 10^3 \times 0.75 v_2^2$.
$3 = 468.75 v_2^2$.
$v_2^2 = \frac{3}{468.75} = 0.0064$.
$v_2 = \sqrt{0.0064} = 0.08 \, m \, s^{-1}$.
The rate of flow (discharge) $Q = A_2 v_2 = (5 \times 10^{-4} \, m^2) \times (0.08 \, m \, s^{-1}) = 40 \times 10^{-6} \, m^3 \, s^{-1} = 4 \times 10^{-5} \, m^3 \, s^{-1}$.
Comparing with $x \times 10^{-5} \, m^3 \, s^{-1}$, we get $x = 4$.

Area at $A$,$A_A = 1.5 \, cm^2 = 1.5 \times 10^{-4} \, m^2$
Area at $B$,$A_B = 25 \, mm^2 = 25 \times 10^{-6} \, m^2$
Velocity at $B$,$v_B = 60 \, cm/s = 0.6 \, m/s$
Density,$\rho = 1000 \, kg/m^3$
Using the equation of continuity,$A_A v_A = A_B v_B$:
$1.5 \times 10^{-4} \times v_A = 25 \times 10^{-6} \times 0.6$
$v_A = \frac{25 \times 10^{-6} \times 0.6}{1.5 \times 10^{-4}} = \frac{15 \times 10^{-6}}{1.5 \times 10^{-4}} = 10 \times 10^{-2} = 0.1 \, m/s$
Using Bernoulli's equation for a horizontal tube $(h_A = h_B)$:
$P_A + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_A^2 = P_B + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_B^2$
$P_A - P_B = \frac{1}{2} \rho (v_B^2 - v_A^2)$
$P_A - P_B = \frac{1}{2} \times 1000 \times ((0.6)^2 - (0.1)^2)$
$P_A - P_B = 500 \times (0.36 - 0.01)$
$P_A - P_B = 500 \times 0.35 = 175 \, Pa$
Area at $A$,$A_A = 1.5 \, cm^2 = 1.5 \times 10^{-4} \, m^2$
Area at $B$,$A_B = 25 \, mm^2 = 25 \times 10^{-6} \, m^2$
Velocity at $B$,$v_B = 60 \, cm/s = 0.6 \, m/s$
Density,$\rho = 1000 \, kg/m^3$
Using the equation of continuity,$A_A v_A = A_B v_B$:
$1.5 \times 10^{-4} \times v_A = 25 \times 10^{-6} \times 0.6$
$v_A = \frac{25 \times 10^{-6} \times 0.6}{1.5 \times 10^{-4}} = \frac{15 \times 10^{-6}}{1.5 \times 10^{-4}} = 10 \times 10^{-2} = 0.1 \, m/s$
Using Bernoulli's equation for a horizontal tube $(h_A = h_B)$:
$P_A + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_A^2 = P_B + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_B^2$
$P_A - P_B = \frac{1}{2} \rho (v_B^2 - v_A^2)$
$P_A - P_B = \frac{1}{2} \times 1000 \times ((0.6)^2 - (0.1)^2)$
$P_A - P_B = 500 \times (0.36 - 0.01)$

The venturi-meter works on:
A
The principle of perpendicular axes
B
Huygen's principle
C
Bernoulli's principle
D
The principle of parallel axes
Solution
(C) venturi-meter is a device used for measuring the rate of flow of a fluid through a pipe.
It is based on Bernoulli's principle,which states that for an incompressible,non-viscous,and steady flow of fluid,the sum of pressure energy,kinetic energy,and potential energy per unit volume remains constant along a streamline.
As the fluid passes through the constricted part (throat) of the venturi-meter,its velocity increases,leading to a decrease in pressure according to Bernoulli's equation.
By measuring the pressure difference between the wide part and the throat,the flow rate can be calculated.

Solution
(A) According to Bernoulli's principle for horizontal flow,the total pressure (static pressure + dynamic pressure) remains constant.
$P_1 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v^2$
Where $P_1$ is the initial pressure when the water is at rest $(4.5 \times 10^4 \ N/m^2)$,$P_2$ is the pressure when the water is flowing $(2.0 \times 10^4 \ N/m^2)$,and $\rho$ is the density of water $(10^3 \ kg/m^3)$.
$P_1 - P_2 = \frac{1}{2} \rho v^2$
$(4.5 \times 10^4) - (2.0 \times 10^4) = \frac{1}{2} \times 10^3 \times v^2$
$2.5 \times 10^4 = 0.5 \times 10^3 \times v^2$
$v^2 = \frac{2.5 \times 10^4}{0.5 \times 10^3} = 5 \times 10 = 50$
$v = \sqrt{50} \ m/s$
Given that the velocity is $\sqrt{V} \ m/s$,we have $\sqrt{V} = \sqrt{50}$.
Therefore,$V = 50$.
$P_1 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v^2$
Where $P_1$ is the initial pressure when the water is at rest $(4.5 \times 10^4 \ N/m^2)$,$P_2$ is the pressure when the water is flowing $(2.0 \times 10^4 \ N/m^2)$,and $\rho$ is the density of water $(10^3 \ kg/m^3)$.
$P_1 - P_2 = \frac{1}{2} \rho v^2$
$(4.5 \times 10^4) - (2.0 \times 10^4) = \frac{1}{2} \times 10^3 \times v^2$
$2.5 \times 10^4 = 0.5 \times 10^3 \times v^2$
$v^2 = \frac{2.5 \times 10^4}{0.5 \times 10^3} = 5 \times 10 = 50$
$v = \sqrt{50} \ m/s$
Given that the velocity is $\sqrt{V} \ m/s$,we have $\sqrt{V} = \sqrt{50}$.

Solution
(B) According to Bernoulli's principle,the pressure difference $\Delta P$ between the lower and upper surfaces of the wing is given by $\Delta P = \frac{1}{2} \rho (v_1^2 - v_2^2)$,where $v_1$ is the speed on the upper surface and $v_2$ is the speed on the lower surface.
The lift force $F$ is calculated as $F = \Delta P \times A$,where $A$ is the wing area.
Substituting the given values: $\rho = 1.2 \,kg/m^3$,$v_1 = 70 \,m/s$,$v_2 = 65 \,m/s$,and $A = 2 \,m^2$.
$F = \frac{1}{2} \times 1.2 \times (70^2 - 65^2) \times 2$
$F = 1.2 \times (4900 - 4225)$
$F = 1.2 \times 675 = 810 \,N$.
The lift force $F$ is calculated as $F = \Delta P \times A$,where $A$ is the wing area.
Substituting the given values: $\rho = 1.2 \,kg/m^3$,$v_1 = 70 \,m/s$,$v_2 = 65 \,m/s$,and $A = 2 \,m^2$.
$F = \frac{1}{2} \times 1.2 \times (70^2 - 65^2) \times 2$
$F = 1.2 \times (4900 - 4225)$
$F = 1.2 \times 675 = 810 \,N$.

(Take air density to be $1 \,kg \,m^{-3}$ and $g=10 \,ms^{-2}$)
A
$9400$
B
$9300$
C
$9500$
D
$9600$
Solution
(D) The total area of the two wings is $A = 2 \times 40 \,m^2 = 80 \,m^2$.
Convert the air speeds from $km/h$ to $m/s$:
$V_1 = 180 \,km/h = 180 \times \frac{5}{18} = 50 \,m/s$ (lower surface)
$V_2 = 252 \,km/h = 252 \times \frac{5}{18} = 70 \,m/s$ (upper surface)
According to Bernoulli's principle,the pressure difference $\Delta P = P_1 - P_2$ between the lower and upper surfaces provides the lift force $F_L$:
$F_L = (P_1 - P_2) A = \frac{1}{2} \rho (V_2^2 - V_1^2) A$
For level flight,the lift force must balance the weight of the plane:
$mg = \frac{1}{2} \rho (V_2^2 - V_1^2) A$
Substitute the given values:
$m \times 10 = \frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times (70^2 - 50^2) \times 80$
$10m = 40 \times (4900 - 2500)$
$10m = 40 \times 2400$
$10m = 96000$
$m = 9600 \,kg$.
Convert the air speeds from $km/h$ to $m/s$:
$V_1 = 180 \,km/h = 180 \times \frac{5}{18} = 50 \,m/s$ (lower surface)
$V_2 = 252 \,km/h = 252 \times \frac{5}{18} = 70 \,m/s$ (upper surface)
According to Bernoulli's principle,the pressure difference $\Delta P = P_1 - P_2$ between the lower and upper surfaces provides the lift force $F_L$:
$F_L = (P_1 - P_2) A = \frac{1}{2} \rho (V_2^2 - V_1^2) A$
For level flight,the lift force must balance the weight of the plane:
$mg = \frac{1}{2} \rho (V_2^2 - V_1^2) A$
Substitute the given values:
$m \times 10 = \frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times (70^2 - 50^2) \times 80$
$10m = 40 \times (4900 - 2500)$
$10m = 40 \times 2400$
$10m = 96000$
$m = 9600 \,kg$.

$A$ 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. . . . .

Solution
(D) Consider the frame of reference of the train. In this frame,the train is at rest,and the tunnel moves with speed $v_t$. The air in front of the train moves towards the train with speed $v_t$.
Let $v$ be the speed of the air in the gap between the train and the tunnel walls relative to the train. The cross-sectional area of the gap is $A_{gap} = S_0 - S_t = 4S_t - S_t = 3S_t$.
Applying the equation of continuity for the air flow relative to the train:
$S_0 v_t = A_{gap} v$
$4S_t v_t = 3S_t v$
$v = \frac{4}{3} v_t$
Now,apply Bernoulli's equation for the air flow along a streamline from the front of the train to the gap region:
$p_0 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_t^2 = p + \frac{1}{2} \rho v^2$
$p_0 - p = \frac{1}{2} \rho (v^2 - v_t^2)$
Substitute $v = \frac{4}{3} v_t$ into the equation:
$p_0 - p = \frac{1}{2} \rho \left( (\frac{4}{3} v_t)^2 - v_t^2 \right)$
$p_0 - p = \frac{1}{2} \rho (\frac{16}{9} v_t^2 - v_t^2)$
$p_0 - p = \frac{1}{2} \rho (\frac{7}{9} v_t^2) = \frac{7}{18} \rho v_t^2$
Comparing this with the given expression $p_0 - p = \frac{7}{2N} \rho v_t^2$:
$\frac{7}{2N} = \frac{7}{18}$
$2N = 18$
$N = 9$
Let $v$ be the speed of the air in the gap between the train and the tunnel walls relative to the train. The cross-sectional area of the gap is $A_{gap} = S_0 - S_t = 4S_t - S_t = 3S_t$.
Applying the equation of continuity for the air flow relative to the train:
$S_0 v_t = A_{gap} v$
$4S_t v_t = 3S_t v$
$v = \frac{4}{3} v_t$
Now,apply Bernoulli's equation for the air flow along a streamline from the front of the train to the gap region:
$p_0 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_t^2 = p + \frac{1}{2} \rho v^2$
$p_0 - p = \frac{1}{2} \rho (v^2 - v_t^2)$
Substitute $v = \frac{4}{3} v_t$ into the equation:
$p_0 - p = \frac{1}{2} \rho \left( (\frac{4}{3} v_t)^2 - v_t^2 \right)$
$p_0 - p = \frac{1}{2} \rho (\frac{16}{9} v_t^2 - v_t^2)$
$p_0 - p = \frac{1}{2} \rho (\frac{7}{9} v_t^2) = \frac{7}{18} \rho v_t^2$
Comparing this with the given expression $p_0 - p = \frac{7}{2N} \rho v_t^2$:
$\frac{7}{2N} = \frac{7}{18}$

An ideal gas of density $\rho_1=0.2 \ kg \ m^{-3}$ enters a chimney of height $h$ at the rate of $\alpha=0.8 \ kg \ s^{-1}$ from its lower end,and escapes through the upper end as shown in the figure. The cross-sectional area of the lower end is $A_1=0.1 \ m^2$ and the upper end is $A_2=0.4 \ m^2$. The pressure and the temperature of the gas at the lower end are $600 \ Pa$ and $300 \ K$,respectively,while its temperature at the upper end is $150 \ K$. The chimney is heat insulated so that the gas undergoes adiabatic expansion. Take $g=10 \ ms^{-2}$ and the ratio of specific heats of the gas $\gamma=2$. Ignore atmospheric pressure. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) correct?
A
The pressure of the gas at the upper end of the chimney is $150 \ Pa$.
B
The velocity of the gas at the lower end of the chimney is $40 \ ms^{-1}$ and at the upper end is $20 \ ms^{-1}$.
C
The height of the chimney is $360 \ m$.
D
The density of the gas at the upper end is $0.1 \ kg \ m^{-3}$.
Solution
(A, B, C, D) Mass flow rate: $\frac{dm}{dt} = \rho_1 A_1 v_1 = 0.8 \ kg/s$.
Velocity at lower end: $v_1 = \frac{0.8}{0.2 \times 0.1} = 40 \ m/s$.

Given $\gamma=2$,$\frac{P_2}{P_1} = \left(\frac{300}{150}\right)^2 = 4 \implies P_2 = 600 \times \frac{1}{4} = 150 \ Pa$.
Using ideal gas law $\rho = \frac{PM}{RT}$,$\frac{\rho_1}{\rho_2} = \left(\frac{P_1}{P_2}\right)\left(\frac{T_2}{T_1}\right) = \left(\frac{600}{150}\right)\left(\frac{150}{300}\right) = 2 \implies \rho_2 = \frac{0.2}{2} = 0.1 \ kg/m^3$.

$6000 + 800 = 3000 + 200 + 10h \implies 6800 = 3200 + 10h \implies 10h = 3600 \implies h = 360 \ m$.
Velocity at lower end: $v_1 = \frac{0.8}{0.2 \times 0.1} = 40 \ m/s$.

Water flows in a horizontal pipe whose one end is closed with a valve. The reading of the pressure gauge attached to the pipe is $P_1$. The reading of the pressure gauge falls to $P_2$ when the valve is opened. The speed of water flowing in the pipe is proportional to
A
$\sqrt{P_1 - P_2}$
B
$(P_1 - P_2)^2$
C
$(P_1 - P_2)^4$
D
$P_1 - P_2$
Solution
(A) According to Bernoulli's principle for a horizontal pipe,the sum of pressure energy and kinetic energy per unit volume remains constant.
When the valve is closed,the velocity of water $v_1 = 0$. The pressure is $P_1$.
When the valve is opened,the velocity of water is $v$ and the pressure is $P_2$.
Applying Bernoulli's equation: $P_1 + \frac{1}{2} \rho (0)^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v^2$.
Rearranging the terms: $P_1 - P_2 = \frac{1}{2} \rho v^2$.
Solving for velocity $v$: $v^2 = \frac{2(P_1 - P_2)}{\rho}$.
Therefore,$v = \sqrt{\frac{2}{\rho}} \times \sqrt{P_1 - P_2}$.
Since $\rho$ (density of water) is constant,the speed $v$ is proportional to $\sqrt{P_1 - P_2}$.
When the valve is closed,the velocity of water $v_1 = 0$. The pressure is $P_1$.
When the valve is opened,the velocity of water is $v$ and the pressure is $P_2$.
Applying Bernoulli's equation: $P_1 + \frac{1}{2} \rho (0)^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v^2$.
Rearranging the terms: $P_1 - P_2 = \frac{1}{2} \rho v^2$.
Solving for velocity $v$: $v^2 = \frac{2(P_1 - P_2)}{\rho}$.
Therefore,$v = \sqrt{\frac{2}{\rho}} \times \sqrt{P_1 - P_2}$.
Since $\rho$ (density of water) is constant,the speed $v$ is proportional to $\sqrt{P_1 - P_2}$.

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
$3$
B
$5$
C
$2$
D
$4$
Solution
(D) Let point $1$ be the top surface of the water and point $2$ be the hole.
Applying Bernoulli's equation between points $1$ and $2$:
$P_1 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_1^2 + \rho g h_1 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_2^2 + \rho g h_2$
Here,$P_1 = P_0 + \frac{F}{A} = P_0 + \frac{mg}{A}$,where $m = 50 \ kg$,$g = 10 \ m/s^2$,and $A = 0.5 \ m^2$.
$P_1 = P_0 + \frac{50 \times 10}{0.5} = P_0 + 1000 \ Pa$.
$P_2 = P_0$ (atmospheric pressure).
Height difference $h = h_1 - h_2 = 1.6 \ m - 0.9 \ m = 0.7 \ m$.
Since the tank area is large,$v_1 \approx 0$.
Substituting values:
$(P_0 + 1000) + 0 + \rho g (0.7) = P_0 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_2^2$
$1000 + 1000 \times 10 \times 0.7 = \frac{1}{2} \times 1000 \times v_2^2$
$1000 + 7000 = 500 \times v_2^2$
$8000 = 500 \times v_2^2$
$v_2^2 = 16$
$v_2 = 4 \ m/s$.
Applying Bernoulli's equation between points $1$ and $2$:
$P_1 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_1^2 + \rho g h_1 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_2^2 + \rho g h_2$
Here,$P_1 = P_0 + \frac{F}{A} = P_0 + \frac{mg}{A}$,where $m = 50 \ kg$,$g = 10 \ m/s^2$,and $A = 0.5 \ m^2$.
$P_1 = P_0 + \frac{50 \times 10}{0.5} = P_0 + 1000 \ Pa$.
$P_2 = P_0$ (atmospheric pressure).
Height difference $h = h_1 - h_2 = 1.6 \ m - 0.9 \ m = 0.7 \ m$.
Since the tank area is large,$v_1 \approx 0$.
Substituting values:
$(P_0 + 1000) + 0 + \rho g (0.7) = P_0 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_2^2$
$1000 + 1000 \times 10 \times 0.7 = \frac{1}{2} \times 1000 \times v_2^2$
$1000 + 7000 = 500 \times v_2^2$
$8000 = 500 \times v_2^2$
$v_2^2 = 16$
$v_2 = 4 \ m/s$.

$(2 \times 10^{-2})(2) = (10^{-2}) V_2$.
$V_2 = 4 \ m/s$.
Using Bernoulli's equation for a horizontal pipe $(h_1 = h_2)$: $P_1 + \frac{1}{2} \rho V_1^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \rho V_2^2$.
Taking density of water $\rho = 10^3 \ kg/m^3$.
$4 \times 10^4 + \frac{1}{2}(10^3)(2)^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2}(10^3)(4)^2$.
$40000 + 2000 = P_2 + 8000$.
$P_2 = 42000 - 8000 = 34000 \ Pa = 3.4 \times 10^4 \ Pa$.
Given $A_1 = 2 \times 10^{-2} \ m^2$,$V_1 = 2 \ m/s$,and $A_2 = 0.01 \ m^2 = 10^{-2} \ m^2$.

$A$ wind with speed $50 \,m/s$ blows parallel to the roof of a house. The area of the roof is $300 \,m^2$. Assume that the pressure inside the house is atmospheric pressure. The density of air is $1.2 \,kg/m^3$. The magnitude of the force exerted by the wind on the roof will be:
A
$1.5 \times 10^5 \,N$
B
$3.0 \times 10^5 \,N$
C
$4.5 \times 10^5 \,N$
D
$9.0 \times 10^5 \,N$
Solution
(C) According to Bernoulli's principle, for horizontal flow, $P_1 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_1^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_2^2$.
Inside the house, the air is stationary, so $v_1 = 0$ and $P_1 = P_{atm}$.
Outside the house, the wind speed is $v_2 = 50 \,m/s$ and the pressure is $P_2$.
Thus, $P_{atm} = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_2^2$, which gives the pressure difference $\Delta P = P_{atm} - P_2 = \frac{1}{2} \rho v_2^2$.
Substituting the values: $\Delta P = \frac{1}{2} \times 1.2 \,kg/m^3 \times (50 \,m/s)^2 = 0.6 \times 2500 = 1500 \,N/m^2$.
The force exerted on the roof is $F = \Delta P \times A = 1500 \,N/m^2 \times 300 \,m^2 = 4.5 \times 10^5 \,N$.
Inside the house, the air is stationary, so $v_1 = 0$ and $P_1 = P_{atm}$.
Outside the house, the wind speed is $v_2 = 50 \,m/s$ and the pressure is $P_2$.
Thus, $P_{atm} = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_2^2$, which gives the pressure difference $\Delta P = P_{atm} - P_2 = \frac{1}{2} \rho v_2^2$.
Substituting the values: $\Delta P = \frac{1}{2} \times 1.2 \,kg/m^3 \times (50 \,m/s)^2 = 0.6 \times 2500 = 1500 \,N/m^2$.
The force exerted on the roof is $F = \Delta P \times A = 1500 \,N/m^2 \times 300 \,m^2 = 4.5 \times 10^5 \,N$.

B
$P - 4 \varrho V^2$
C
$P + 8 \varrho V^2$
D

Solution
(B) According to Bernoulli's principle for a horizontal pipe,the sum of pressure energy and kinetic energy per unit volume remains constant:
$P_1 + \frac{1}{2} \varrho V_1^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \varrho V_2^2$
Given:
$P_1 = P$,$V_1 = V$,$V_2 = 3V$
Substituting these values into the equation:
$P + \frac{1}{2} \varrho V^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \varrho (3V)^2$
$P + \frac{1}{2} \varrho V^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \varrho (9V^2)$
$P_2 = P + \frac{1}{2} \varrho V^2 - \frac{9}{2} \varrho V^2$
$P_2 = P - \frac{8}{2} \varrho V^2$
$P_2 = P - 4 \varrho V^2$
Thus,the pressure at the second point is $P - 4 \varrho V^2$.
$P_1 + \frac{1}{2} \varrho V_1^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \varrho V_2^2$
Given:
$P_1 = P$,$V_1 = V$,$V_2 = 3V$
Substituting these values into the equation:
$P + \frac{1}{2} \varrho V^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \varrho (3V)^2$
$P + \frac{1}{2} \varrho V^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \varrho (9V^2)$
$P_2 = P + \frac{1}{2} \varrho V^2 - \frac{9}{2} \varrho V^2$
$P_2 = P - \frac{8}{2} \varrho V^2$
$P_2 = P - 4 \varrho V^2$
Thus,the pressure at the second point is $P - 4 \varrho V^2$.

Using Bernoulli's equation for a horizontal pipe $(h_1 = h_2)$:
$P_1 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_1^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_2^2$
$P_1 - P_2 = \frac{1}{2} \rho (v_2^2 - v_1^2)$

$3 = \frac{1}{2} \times 1.25 \times 10^3 \times (v_2^2 - v_1^2)$
$v_2^2 - v_1^2 = \frac{6}{1.25 \times 10^3} = 4.8 \times 10^{-3} \dots (i)$
From the equation of continuity,$A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2$:
$10 \times 10^{-4} \times v_1 = 5 \times 10^{-4} \times v_2 \Rightarrow v_2 = 2v_1 \dots (ii)$
Substituting $(ii)$ into $(i)$:
$(2v_1)^2 - v_1^2 = 4.8 \times 10^{-3}$
$3v_1^2 = 4.8 \times 10^{-3} \Rightarrow v_1^2 = 1.6 \times 10^{-3}$
$v_1 = \sqrt{1.6 \times 10^{-3}} \approx 0.04 \ m/s$

Solution
(C) According to Bernoulli's equation for a fluid in motion,the sum of pressure energy,kinetic energy,and potential energy per unit volume remains constant along a streamline.
Assuming the pipe is horizontal and the initial velocity $v_1$ inside the pipe is negligible $(v_1 \approx 0)$:
$P_1 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_1^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_2^2$
Since $v_1 = 0$,the equation simplifies to:
$P_1 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_2^2$
Rearranging for $v_2$:
$P_1 - P_2 = \frac{1}{2} \rho v_2^2$
$v_2^2 = \frac{2(P_1 - P_2)}{\rho}$
$v_2 = \sqrt{\frac{2(P_1 - P_2)}{\rho}}$

Water is flowing through a horizontal pipe in streamline flow. At the narrowest part of the pipe,
A
velocity is maximum and pressure is minimum
B
pressure is maximum and velocity is minimum
C
both pressure and velocity are minimum
D
both pressure and velocity are maximum
Solution
(A) According to the equation of continuity,$A_1 V_1 = A_2 V_2$.
Since the product $Av$ is constant,at the narrowest part where the cross-sectional area $A$ is minimum,the velocity $v$ must be maximum.
According to Bernoulli's principle for a horizontal pipe ($h$ is constant),$P + \frac{1}{2} \rho v^2 = \text{constant}$.
As the velocity $v$ increases,the pressure $P$ must decrease to keep the sum constant.
Therefore,at the narrowest part,the velocity is maximum and the pressure is minimum.
Since the product $Av$ is constant,at the narrowest part where the cross-sectional area $A$ is minimum,the velocity $v$ must be maximum.

$A$ Venturimeter is used to:
A
measure liquid pressure.
B
measure liquid density.
C
measure the rate of flow of liquids.
D
measure surface tension.
Solution
(C) Venturimeter is a device used to measure the rate of flow of an incompressible fluid flowing through a pipe. It operates on the principle of Bernoulli's theorem,where a constriction in the pipe causes a pressure drop that is proportional to the square of the flow rate.

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
A
maximum velocity and minimum pressure.
B
both the pressure and velocity maximum.
C
both the pressure and velocity minimum.
D
maximum pressure and minimum velocity.
Solution
(A) According to the equation of continuity,$A_{1}V_{1} = A_{2}V_{2}$.
Since the flow rate is constant,if the cross-sectional area $A$ decreases,the velocity $V$ must increase.
According to Bernoulli's principle for a horizontal pipe,$P + \frac{1}{2}\rho V^{2} = \text{constant}$.
This implies that as the velocity $V$ increases,the pressure $P$ must decrease.
Therefore,in the narrowest part of the pipe,the velocity is maximum and the pressure is minimum.

Two light balls are suspended as shown in the figure. When a stream of air passes through the space between them,the distance between the balls will
A
Remain same
B
Increase
C
May increase or decrease,depending on speed of air
D
Decrease
Solution
(D) According to Bernoulli's principle,for a horizontal flow of fluid,the sum of pressure energy and kinetic energy per unit volume remains constant.
When a stream of air is blown through the space between the two suspended balls,the velocity of the air in that region increases.
As the velocity increases,the pressure in that region decreases compared to the atmospheric pressure on the outer sides of the balls.
This pressure difference creates a net force acting on the balls,pushing them toward each other.
Therefore,the distance between the balls will decrease.
