$Assertion :$ The pressure of water reduces when it flows from a narrow pipe to a wider pipe.
$Reason :$ Since for wider pipe area is large, so flow of speed is small and pressure also reduces proportionately.

Pressure of water reduces when it comes from wide pipe to narrow pipe. According to equation of continuity, $av =$ constant. As the water flows from wider tube to narrow tube, its velocity increases. According to Bernouli prinicple, where velocity is large pressure is less.

    A $0.5\ kg$ mass of lead is submerged in a container filled to the brim with water and a block of wood floats on top. The lead mass is slowly lifted from the container by a thin wire and as it emerges into air the level of the water in the container drops a bit. The lead mass is now placed on the block of wood.
