Water is flowing steadily through a horizontal tube of non uniform cross-section. If the pressure of water is $4$ $\times $ $10^4$ $N/m^2$ at a point where cross-section is $0.02$ $m^2$ and velocity of flow is $2$ $m/s$, what is pressure at a point where cross-section reduces to $0.01$ $m^2$.

As we know

$A_{1} V_{1}=A_{2} V_{2}$

Where $A_{1}=0.02 \mathrm{m}^{2}$

$V_{1}=2 m / s$

$A_{2}=0.01 \mathrm{m}^{2}$

$\Longrightarrow 0.02 \times 2=0.01 \times V_{2}$

$\Longrightarrow V_{2}=4 m / s$

Now using Bernoulli's theorem

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

$\Longrightarrow P_{2}=P_{1}+\frac{\rho_{1}}{2}\left[V_{1}^{2}-V_{1}^{2}\right]$

$\Longrightarrow P_{2}=4 \times 10^{10}+\frac{1000}{2}\left[2^{2}-4^{2}\right]-4 \times 10^{10}=3.4 \times 10^{4} N / m^{2}$

     Consider a water jar of radius $R$ that has water filled up to height $H$ and is kept on a stand of height $h$ (see figure) . Through a hole of radius $r$  $(r << R)$ at its bottom, the water leaks out and the stream of water coming down towards the ground has a shape like a funnel as shown in the figure. If the radius of the cross-section of water stream when it hits the ground is $x.$ Then

    A $20 \,cm$ long tube is closed at one end. It is held vertically, and its open end is dipped in water until only half of it is outside the water surface. Consequently, water rises in it by height $h$ as shown in the figure. The value of $h$ is closest to .............. $\,m / s$ (assume that the temperature remains constant, $P _{\text {armosphere }}=10^5 \,N / m ^2$, density. of water $=10^3 \,kg / m ^3$, and acceleration due to gravity $g =10 \,m / s ^2$ )

    Blood velocity: The flow of blood in a large artery of an anesthetised dog is diverted through a Venturi meter. The wider part of the meter has a crosssectional area equal to that of the artery. $A = 8\; mm^2$. The narrower part has an area $a = 4 \;mm^2$. The pressure drop in the artery is $24\; Pa$. What is the speed (in $m/s$) of the blood in the artery?
