    A manometer connected to a closed tap reads\[3.5\times {{10}^{5}}\,N/{{m}^{2}}\]. When the valve is opened, the reading of manometer falls to \[3.0\times {{10}^{5}}\,N/{{m}^{2}}\], then velocity of flow of water is

    A)  100 m/s              

    B)         10 m/s

    C)  1m/s                    

    D)         \[10\sqrt{10}\]m/s

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Bernoullis theorem for unit mass of liquid\[\frac{p}{\rho }+\frac{1}{2}{{v}^{2}}=\]constant As the liquid starts flowing, it pressure energy decreases \[\frac{1}{2}{{v}^{2}}=\frac{{{p}_{1}}-{{p}_{2}}}{\rho }\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}{{v}^{2}}=\frac{3.5\times {{10}^{5}}-3\times {{10}^{5}}}{{{10}^{3}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,{{v}^{2}}=\frac{2\times 0.5\,\times {{10}^{5}}}{{{10}^{3}}}\,\Rightarrow \,{{v}^{2}}=100\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,v=10\,m/s\]
