MCQ
Water falls from a tap, down the streamline.
  • Area decreases
  • B
    Area increases
  • C
    Velocity same
  • D
    Area remains same

Answer

Correct option: A.
Area decreases
a
When water falls from a tap, down the streamline area decreases due to increase in velocity of liquid as it experiences gravity, i.e., by equation of continuity.

$A_{1} v_{1}=A_{2} v_{2}$
