  • question_answer
    A liquid is flowing in a horizontal uniform capillary tube under a constant pressure difference P. The value of pressure for which the rate of flow of the liquid is doubled when the radius and length both are doubled is  [EAMCET 2001]

    A)            P    

    B)            \[\frac{3P}{4}\]                   

    C)            \[\frac{P}{2}\]                     

    D)            \[\frac{P}{4}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                       From \[V=\frac{P\pi {{r}^{4}}}{8\eta l}\] Þ \[P=\frac{V8\eta l}{\pi {{r}^{4}}}\]                    Þ\[\frac{{{P}_{2}}}{{{P}_{1}}}=\frac{{{V}_{2}}}{{{V}_{1}}}\times \frac{{{l}_{2}}}{{{l}_{1}}}\times {{\left( \frac{{{r}_{1}}}{{{r}_{2}}} \right)}^{4}}\]\[=2\times 2\times {{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{4}}=\frac{1}{4}\]            Þ \[{{P}_{2}}=\frac{{{P}_{1}}}{4}=\frac{P}{4}\].
