Q10 · Physics
Water flows in a streamline motion through a horizontal pipe of circular cross-section as shown in the figure. The pressure difference of water between P and Q is 15 Nm. The area of cross-section at P and Q are 40 cm and 20 cm, respectively. The rate of flow of water through the pipe, in cms, is :
[Take density of water = 1000 kg m]
The figure, described in words
Horizontal pipe with a wide section at P narrowing to a constriction at Q; streamlines drawn along the pipe.
