MCQ
Water flows through a frictionless duct with a cross-section varying as shown in figure. Pressure $p$ at points along the axis is represented by

  • B

  • C

  • D

Answer

Correct option: A.

a
When cross section of duct decreases the velocity of water increases and in accordance with Bernoulli's theorem the pressure decreases at that place.

Therefore, in this case, the pressure remains constant initially and then decreases as the area of cross section decreases along the neck of the tube and then remains constant along the mouth of the tube.

Hence, graph in option $A$ is correct.
