A liquid of density \(750\,kgm ^{-3}\) flows smoothly through a horizontal pipe that tapers in crosssectional area from \(A _{1}=1.2 \times 10^{-2}\,m ^{2}\) to \(A_{2}=\frac{A_{1}}{2}\). The pressure difference between the wide and narrow sections of the pipe is \(4500\,Pa\). The rate of flow of liquid is________\(\times 10^{-3}\,m ^{3} s ^{-1}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(24\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(A _{2}=\frac{ A _{1}}{2}\)

\(P _{1}- P _{2}=4500\,Pa\)

\(P _{1}+\frac{1}{2} \rho V _{1}^{2}+\rho gh = P _{2}+\frac{1}{2} \rho V _{2}^{2}+\rho gh\)

\(P _{1}- P _{2}=\frac{1}{2} \rho\left( V _{2}^{2}- V _{1}^{2}\right)\)

And \(A _{1} V _{1}= A _{2} V _{2}\)

\(\Rightarrow \quad V _{2}=2 V _{1}\)

\(4500=\frac{1}{2} \times 750 \times 3 V _{1}^{2}\)

\(V _{1}=2\,m / s\)

Volume flow rate \(= A _{1} V _{1}=24 \times 10^{-3}\,m ^{3} s ^{-1}\)
