    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

    Water from a tap emerges vertically downwards with an initial speed of $1.0\,ms^{-1}.$ The cross-sectional area of the tap is $10^{-4}\,m^2.$ Assume that the pressure is constant throughout the stream of water and that flow is streamlined. The cross-sectional area of the stream, $0.15\,m$ below the tap would be: (take $g = 10\,ms^{-2}$ )
