MCQ
Water flows steadily through a horizontal pipe of variable cross-section. If the pressure of water is $P$ at a point where flow speed is $v$ , the pressure at another point where the flow speed is $2v$ , is (Take density of water as $\rho $ )
  • $P - \frac{{3\rho {v^2}}}{2}$
  • B
    $P - \frac{{\rho {v^2}}}{2}$
  • C
    $P - \frac{{3\rho {v^2}}}{4}$
  • D
    $P -\rho v^2$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$P - \frac{{3\rho {v^2}}}{2}$
a
Applying Bernoullis's Equation at two points$:$

$p_{1}+\frac{\rho v_{1}^{2}}{2}=p_{2}+\frac{\rho v_{2}^{2}}{2}$

Given, $p_{1}=p, \quad v_{1}=v \quad v_{2}=2 v$

$p_{2}=p+\frac{\rho v^{2}}{2}-\frac{4 \rho v^{2}}{2}$

$p_{2}=p-\frac{3 \rho v^{2}}{2}$

Three rods of identical cross-section and lengths are made of three different materials of thermal conductivity $K _{1}, K _{2},$ and $K _{3}$, respectively. They are joined together at their ends to make a long rod (see figure). One end of the long rod is maintained at $100^{\circ} C$ and the ther at $0^{\circ} C$ (see figure). If the joints of the rod are at  $70^{\circ} C$ and $20^{\circ} C$ in steady state and there is no loss of energy from the surface of the rod, the correct relationship between $K _{1}, K _{2}$ and $K _{3}$ is
