    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 of speed is 2 v, is (take density of water as \[\rho \]) :

    A) \[p-\frac{3\rho {{v}^{2}}}{2}\]                   

    B) \[p-\frac{\rho {{v}^{2}}}{2}\]

    C) \[p-\frac{3\rho {{v}^{2}}}{4}\]                   

    D) \[p-\rho {{v}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     From Bernoulli's equation, the sum of all forms of energy in a fluid flowing along an enclosed path (a streamline) is the same at any two points in the path. Therefore, \[P+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_{1}^{2}=P'+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_{2}^{2}\] Given,   \[{{v}_{2}}=2v,\]\[{{v}_{1}}=v\] \[\therefore \]  \[P+\frac{1}{2}\rho {{v}^{2}}=P'+\frac{1}{2}\rho {{(2v)}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[P'=P-\frac{3}{2}\rho {{v}^{2}}.\]
