A tube with cross sections at and , having areas of and respectively, is kept vertical with positioned upward. The distance separating and is . Water enters through at a rate of . Determine the speed of the water at . Note that the speed decreases as the water falls down. Take .
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Given the volume flow rate of water entering through cross-section is .
The area of cross-section at is given as .
Converting the area into :
The volume flow rate is the product of the cross-sectional area and the speed of the fluid. Therefore, the speed of water at , , can be calculated using the relation:
Substituting the given values:
The other given parameters (area at , distance between and , and acceleration due to gravity) are extra information and are not required to find the speed at since the flow rate is explicitly provided.
