Physics Question on mechanical properties of fluid
Water is flowing with velocity 4ms−1 in a cylinder of diameter 8cm, it is connected to a pipe with it end tip of diameter 2cm, calculate the velocity of water at this free end.
A
4ms−1
B
8ms−1
C
32ms−1
D
64ms−1
Answer
64ms−1
Explanation
Solution
Here, v1=4ms−1,A1=πr12=16π×10−4m2 A2=πr22=π×10−4m2 Using, A1v1=A2v2 ∴v2=A2A1v1 =π×10−416π×10−4×4 =64ms−1 Velocity of water at free end, v2=64ms−1
