The cross sectional area of a horizontal tube increases along its length linearly, as we move in the direction of flow. The variation of pressure, as we move along its length in the direction of flow ($x-$ direction), is best depicted by which of the following graphs

Continuity equation states that the product of area of cross section and velocity remains constant

The graph of area v/s $x$ will be a straight line with positive slope

Accordingly the area of velocity v/s $x$ will be a hyperbola

Pressure and velocity are related by Bernoulli's equation as $P+\frac{\rho V^{2}}{2}=$ constant

The graph for velocity squared v/s $x$ is a second degree hyperbola; visually, it's just like a hyperbola curve

Now, the graph for a constant v/s $x$ is a horizontal straight line, thus the curve for pressure will be mirror image of the hyperbola curve about the horizontal straight line

    A cubical box of wine has a small spout located in one of the bottom corners. When the box is full and placed on a level surface, opening the spout results in a flow of wine with a initial speed of $v_0$ (see figure). When the box is half empty, someone tilts it at $45^o $ so that the spout is at the lowest point (see figure). When the spout is opened the wine will flow out with a speed of
