Two identical cylindrical vessels with their bases at same level, each contains a liquid of density $d$ . The height of the liquid in one vessel is $ h_1$ and that in the other vessel is $h_2$ . The area of either base is $A$ . The work done by gravity in equalizing the levels when the two vessels are connected is
  • A$(h_1 -h_2)gd$
  • B$(h_1 -h_2)gAd$
  • C$\frac {1}{2}(h_1 -h_2)^2gAd$
  • D$\frac {1}{4}(h_1 -h_2)^2gAd$

    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) :-
