The radius of cross-section of the cylindrical tube of a spray pump is 2 cm . One end of the pump has 50 fine holes each of radius 0.4 mm . If the speed of flow of the liquid inside the tube is \(0.04 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\), the speed of ejection of the liquid from the holes is

  1. A \(6 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  2. B \(2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  3. C \(4 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  4. D \(3 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(r_1=2 \mathrm{~cm}, r_2=0.04 \mathrm{~cm}, v_1=0.04 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) By equation of continuity, \(A_1 v_1=50 A_2 v_2 \Rightarrow \pi(2)^2 \times 0.04=50 \times \pi(0.04)^2 \times v_2\) \(\therefore \quad \mathrm{v}_2=2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
