Water (of density 'o') flows steadily through a horizontal pipe of variable cross-section. If the pressure of water is 'P' at a point where the flow speed is ' \(V\) ', then the pressure at another point where the flow speed becomes 3 V is

  1. A \(\mathrm{P}+\frac{3}{2} \mathrm{QV}^2\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{P}-4 \varrho \mathrm{~V}^2\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{P}+\frac{5}{2} \mathrm{QV}^2\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{P}-8 \varrho \mathrm{~V}^2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{P}-4 \varrho \mathrm{~V}^2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho V_1^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho V_2^2\) \(P + \frac{1}{2}\rho V^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho (3V)^2\)
