The Pitot tube shown in the figure is used to measure fluid flow velocity in a pipe of cross sectional area $S$. It was invented by a French engineer Henri Pitot in the early $18^{th}$ century. The volume of the gas flowing across the section of the pipe per unit time is (The difference in the liquid columns is $\Delta h,  \rho_0$ and  $\rho$  are the densities of liquid and the gas respectively) :-
  • A$Q = \,2s\sqrt {\frac{{\Delta h{\rho _0}g}}{\rho }} $
  • B$Q = \,s\sqrt {\frac{{2\Delta h{\rho _0}g}}{\rho }} $
  • C$Q = \,s\sqrt {\frac{{\Delta h{\rho _0}g}}{\rho }} $
  • D$Q = \,s\sqrt {\frac{{2\Delta h{\rho}g}}{{{\rho _0}}}} $

    A cylindrical tube, with its base as shown in the figure, is filled with water. It is moving down with a constant acceleration $a$ along a fixed inclined plane with angle $\theta=45^{\circ} . P_1$ and $P_2$ are pressures at points 1 and 2 , respectively, located at the base of the tube. Let $\beta=\left(P_1-P_2\right) /(\rho g d)$, where $\rho$ is density of water, $d$ is the inner diameter of the tube and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity. Which of the following statement($s$) is(are) correct?

    A spray gun is shown in the figure where a piston pushes air out of a nozzle. A thin tube of uniform cross section is connected to the nozzle. The other end of the tube is in a small liquid container. As the piston pushes air through the nozzle, the liquid from the container rises into the nozzle and is sprayed out. For the spray gun shown, the radii of the piston and the nozzle are $20 \ mm$ and $1 \ mm$ respectively. The upper end of the container is open to the atmosphere. $Image$

    $1.$ If the piston is pushed at a speed of $5 \ mms ^{-1}$, the air comes out of the nozzle with a speed of

    $(A)$ $0.1 \ ms ^{-1}$ $(B)$ $1 \ ms ^{-1}$ $(C)$ $2 \ ms ^{-1}$ $(D)$ $8 \ ms ^{-1}$

    $2.$ If the density of air is $\rho_{ a }$ and that of the liquid $\rho_{\ell}$, then for a given piston speed the rate (volume per unit time) at which the liquid is sprayed will be proportional to

    $(A)$ $\sqrt{\frac{\rho_{ a }}{\rho_{\ell}}}$ $(B)$ $\sqrt{\rho_a \rho_{\ell}}$ $(C)$ $\sqrt{\frac{\rho_{\ell}}{\rho_{ a }}}$ $(D)$ $\rho_{\ell}$
