A horizontal pipe line carries water in a stream line flow. At a point along the pipe where cross-sectional area is 10 cm^(2), the water velocity 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 (density of water= 10^(3) kg.m^(-3)) :

Answer»

1000 Pa
500 Pa
3500 Pa
1625 Pa

Solution :USING equation of CONTINUITY,
`A_(1)v_(1)=A_(2)v_(2)`
`10xx1=5xxv_(2)rArrv_(2)=2`m/s
Now by Bernoulli.s theorem,
`(P_(1))/p+1/2v_(1)^(2)=(P_(2))/p+1/2v_(2)^(2)`
`rArrP_(2)=P_(1)+1/2p(v_(1)^(2)-v_(2)^(2))`
`=2000+1/2xx10^(3)(1^(2)-2^(2))`
= 2000 - 1500 = 500 pascals.
Thus CORRECT choice is (b).
