    At what speed, the velocity head of water is equal to pressure head of 40 cm of Hg?

    A)  10.3 m/s      

    B)  2.8 m/s

    C)  5.6 m/s        

    D)  8.4 m/s

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Bernoullis equation tor flowing liquid be written as                 \[p+\frac{1}{2}\rho {{v}^{2}}+\rho gh=\] constant ... (i) Here,     p = pressure energy per unit volume of                 liquid                 \[\rho =\] density of liquid (water)                 h = height of liquid column                 v = velocity of liquid and        g = acceleration due to gravity Dividing the Eq. (i) by \[\rho g\], we have                 \[\frac{p}{\rho g}+\frac{{{v}^{2}}}{2g}+h=\] constant In this expression, \[\frac{{{v}^{2}}}{2g}\] is velocity head and \[\frac{p}{\rho g}\] is pressure head. It is given that, Velocity head = pressure head Ie,           \[\frac{{{v}^{2}}}{2g}=\frac{p}{\rho g}\] or            \[{{v}^{2}}=\frac{2p}{\rho }\] or            \[=\frac{2\times 13.6\times {{10}^{3}}\times 40\times {{10}^{-2}}\times 9.8}{{{10}^{3}}}\] \[\therefore \] v= 10.32 m/s
