MCQ
Water flows in a streamlined manner through a capillary tube of radius $a$, the pressure difference being $P$ and the rate of flow $Q$. If the radius is reduced to $a / 2$ and the pressure increased to $2 P$, the rate of flow becomes
  • A
    $4 Q$
  • B
    $Q$
  • C
    $\frac{Q}{4}$
  • $\frac{Q}{8}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\frac{Q}{8}$
(d)$V=\frac{\pi p r^2}{8 \eta l} \therefore V \propto P r^4 \quad(\eta \text { and } l \text { are constants }) $
$\therefore \frac{V_2}{V_1}=\left(\frac{P_2}{P_1}\right)\left(\frac{r_2}{r_1}\right)^4$
$=2 \times\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^4=\frac{1}{8}$
$\therefore V_2=\frac{Q}{8}$
