JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 9.1 fluid mechanics

Two tubes of radii \(r_1\) and \(r_2\), and lengths \(l_1\) and \(l_2\), respectively, are connected in series and a liquid flows through each of them in streamline conditions. \(P_1\) and \(P_2\) are pressure differences across the two tubes. If \(P_2\) is \(4P_1\) and \(l_2\) is \( \frac{l_1}{4}\) , then the radius \(r_2\) will be equal to

  1. A \(r_1\)
  2. B \(2r_1\)
  3. C \(4r_1\)
  4. D \(\frac{r_1}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{r_1}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The volume of liquid flowing through both the tubes i.e., rate of flow of liquid same. \(Therefore,V = {V_1} = {V_2}\) \(i.e.,\frac{{\pi {p_1}r_1^4}}{{8\eta {l_1}}} = \frac{{\pi {p_2}r_2^4}}{{8\eta {l_2}}}\)…
