COMEDK · Physics · 11. Mechanical Properties of Fluids
A fluid is in streamline flow across a horizontal pipe of variable area of cross-section. For this which of the following statements is correct?
- A Velocity of fluid is maximum at narrowest part.
- B Pressure of the fluid is maximum at widest part.
- C Both (a) and (b)
- D Neither (a) nor (b)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Both (a) and (b)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
According to the equation of continuity, \[ A v=\text { constant } \] Therefore, velocity of the fluid is minimum at the widest part and maximum at the narrowest part of the horizontal pipe. Again, according to Bernoulli's principle for horizontal pipe,…
