MCQ
Figures below show water flowing through a horizontal pipe from left to right. Note that the pipe in the middle is narrower. Choose the most appropriate depiction of water levels in the vertical pipes.

  • B

  • C

  • D

Answer

Correct option: A.

a
$(a)$ By Bernoulli's equation for streamline flow,

$p+\frac{1}{2} \rho v^{2}+\rho g h=\text { a constant }$

In given situation $h=$ constant

$\therefore \quad p+\frac{1}{2} \rho v^{2}=$ constant

When velocity of flow in narrow section increases, pressure decreases.

So, current level in vertical tubes is as shown below.
