Statement 1 The stream of water flowing at high speed from a garden hose pipe tends to spread like a fountain when held vertically up, but tends to narrow down when held vertically down.
and Statement 2 In any steady flow of an incompressible fluid, the volume flow rate of the fluid remains constant.

  1. A Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.
  2. B Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1.
  3. C Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
  4. D Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From continuity equation,
\(A v=\text { constant or } A \propto \frac{1}{v}\)
At lower heights, speed will be more. Therefore, area of cross-section will be less. \(\therefore\) correct option is (a).
