Water flows through a horizontal pipe of variable crosssection at the rate of \(12 \pi\) litre per minute. The velocity of the water at the point where the diameter of the pipe becomes 2 cm is

  1. A \(6 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  2. B \(8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  3. C \(4 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  4. D \(2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, Rate of flow of water, \(\mathrm{V}=12 \pi\) litre per minute \(=\frac{12 \pi \times 10^{-3}}{60} \mathrm{~m}^3 / \mathrm{s}\) Radius of pipe, \(\mathrm{r}=1 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m}\) From the equation of continuity…
