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?

  1. A Velocity of fluid is maximum at narrowest part.
  2. B Pressure of the fluid is maximum at widest part.
  3. C Both (a) and (b)
  4. D Neither (a) nor (b)
Verified Solution

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,…
