The figure shows a liquid of given density flowing steadily in horizontal tube of varying cross-section.

The figure shows a liquid of given density flowing steadily in horizontal tube of varying cross-section. Cross-sectional areas at AA is 1.5cm2,1 . 5{cm}^{2}, and BB is 25mm2,25{mm}^{2}, if the speed of liquid at BB is 60cms−160cm{s}^{- 1} then (PA–PB)( {P}_{A} – {P}_{B} ) is

(Given PA{P}_{A} and PB{P}_{B} are liquid pressures at AA and BB points.

Density ρ=1000kgm−3ρ = 1000kg{m}^{- 3}

AA and BB are on the axis of tube)

Options

  1. A135Pa135Pa
  2. B27Pa27Pa
  3. C175Pa175Pa
  4. D36Pa36Pa

Correct answer

C. 175Pa175Pa

Step-by-step solution

Using Bernoulli's theorem,

PA+12ρVA2=PB+12ρVB2...(i){P}_{A} + \dfrac{1}{2}ρ{V}_{A}^{2} = {P}_{B} + \dfrac{1}{2}ρ{V}_{B}^{2} . . . ( i )

Using equation of continuity,

AAVA=ABVB{A}_{A}{V}_{A} = {A}_{B}{V}_{B}

So, 1.5×10−4×VA=25×10−6×VB1 . 5 \times {10}^{- 4} \times {V}_{A} = 25 \times {10}^{- 6} \times {V}_{B}

VA=25×10−61.5×10−4×0.6{V}_{A} = \dfrac{25 \times {10}^{- 6}}{1 . 5 \times {10}^{- 4}} \times 0 . 6

=110ms−1= \dfrac{1}{10}m{s}^{- 1}

Substituting in equation (i)

⇒PA−PB=10002[0.62−0.12]=10002×0.7×0.5⇒ {P}_{A} - {P}_{B} = \dfrac{1000}{2}\left[0 . {6}^{2} - 0 . {1}^{2}\right] = \dfrac{1000}{2} \times 0 . 7 \times 0 . 5

=175Pa= 175Pa
