    A horizontal tube has different cross sections at points A and B. The area of cross section are \[{{a}_{1}}\]and\[{{a}_{2}}\], respectively, and pressures at these points are \[{{p}_{1}}=\rho g{{h}_{1}}\]and\[{{p}_{2}}=\rho g{{h}_{2}}\], where p is the density of liquid flowing in the tube and \[{{h}_{1}}\]and \[{{h}_{2}}\]are heights of liquid columns in vertical tubes connected at A and B. If\[{{h}_{1}}-{{h}_{2}}=h\], then the flow rate of the liquid in the horizontal tube is                    

    A) \[{{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}\sqrt{\frac{2gh}{a_{1}^{2}-a_{2}^{2}}}\]

    B) \[{{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}\sqrt{\frac{2g}{h\left( a_{1}^{2}-a_{2}^{2} \right)}}\]

    C) \[{{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}\sqrt{\frac{(a_{1}^{2}+a_{2}^{2})h}{2g\left( a_{1}^{2}-a_{2}^{2} \right)}}\]

    D) \[\frac{2{{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}gh}{\sqrt{a_{1}^{2}-a_{2}^{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Let \[{{a}_{1}}\] and \[{{a}_{2}}\]be cross sectional areas and\[{{v}_{1}}\] and \[{{v}_{2}}\] the velocities of liquid flow at A and B. If \[{{p}_{1}}\]and \[{{p}_{2}}\]are pressures of liquid recorded by manometer, then \[{{P}_{1}}+\frac{1}{2}pv_{1}^{2}={{p}_{2}}+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_{2}^{2}\]              \[\Rightarrow {{p}_{1}}-{{p}_{2}}=\frac{1}{2}\rho v_{1}^{2}\left( \frac{v_{2}^{2}}{v_{1}^{2}}-1 \right)\] By equation of continuity, \[{{a}_{1}}{{v}_{1}}={{a}_{2}}{{v}_{2}}\] Also, \[{{p}_{1}}-{{p}_{2}}=h\rho g\] Substituting these values, we have \[{{v}_{1}}=\sqrt{\frac{2gh}{\frac{a_{1}^{2}}{a_{2}^{2}}-1}}\] Rate of flow of liquid is\[{{a}_{1}}{{v}_{1}}={{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}\sqrt{\frac{2gh}{a_{1}^{2}-a_{2}^{2}}}\]
