    Water flows along a horizontal pipe whose cross-section is not constant. The pressure is \[1cm\]of \[Hg\] where the velocity is\[35\,\,cm{{s}^{-1}}\]. At a point where the velocity is\[65\,\,cm{{s}^{-1}}\], the pressure will be

    A) \[0.89cm\]of\[Hg\]        

    B) \[8.9cm\]of\[Hg\]

    C) \[0.5cm\]of\[Hg\]           

    D)  \[1cm\]of\[Hg\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    In horizontal pipe                 \[{{p}_{1}}+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_{1}^{2}={{p}_{2}}+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_{2}^{2}\]                         ? (i) Here,     \[{{p}_{1}}={{\rho }_{m}}g{{h}_{1}}=13600\times 9.8\times {{10}^{-2}}\]                 \[{{p}_{2}}=13600\times 9.8\times h\]                 \[\rho =1000kg{{m}^{-3}}\]                 \[{{v}_{1}}=35\times {{10}^{-2}}m{{s}^{-1}}\]                 \[{{v}_{2}}=65\times {{10}^{-2}}m{{s}^{-1}}\] \[\therefore \]From Eq. (i), \[13600\times 9.8\times {{10}^{-2}}+\frac{1}{2}\times 1000\times {{(0.35)}^{2}}\] \[=13600\times 9.8\times h+\frac{1}{2}\times 1000\times {{(0.65)}^{2}}\] After solving, \[0.89cm\]of\[Hg\].
