JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 9.1 fluid mechanics

A liquid of density \(600\) kg/m\(^3\) flowing steadily in a tube of varying cross-section. The cross-section at a point \(A\) is \(1.0\) cm\(^2\) and that at \(B\) is \(20\) mm\(^2\). Both the points \(A\) and \(B\) are in same horizontal plane, the speed of the liquid at \(A\) is \(10\) cm/s. The difference in pressures at \(A\) and \(B\) points is ________ Pa.

  1. A \(18\)
  2. B \(144\)
  3. C \(36\)
  4. D \(72\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(72\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Using the equation of continuity: \(A_A v_A = A_B v_B\) \((1.0 \times 10^{-4}) \times 0.1 = (20 \times 10^{-6}) \times v_B\) \(v_B = \dfrac{10^{-5}}{2 \times 10^{-5}} = 0.5\) m/s Using Bernoulli's equation for a horizontal tube:…
