    Why does the speed of a liquid increase and its pressure decrease, when the liquid passes through a narrow constriction in a pipe?

    Answer:

                    When the liquid passes through a narrow constriction, its velocity increases \[(\upsilon \propto 1/a)\] in accordance with the equation of continuity. The Bernouilli's equation for the horizontal flow is \[{{P}_{1}}+\frac{1}{2}\rho \upsilon _{1}^{2}={{P}_{2}}+\frac{1}{2}\rho \upsilon _{2}^{2}\] As the velocity is high at the narrow constriction, so the pressure is low.
