Horizontal tube of non-uniform cross-section has radii of 0.1 m and 0.05 m respectively at

M

and

N

. For a streamline flow of liquid, the rate of liquid flow is Horizontal tube of non-uniform cross-section has radii of 0.1 m and 0.05 m respectively at M and N . For a streamline

Horizontal tube of non-uniform cross-section has radii of 0.1 m and 0.05 m respectively at M and N . For a streamline

Options

Achanging continuously with time
Bgreater at $M$ than at $N$
Cgreater at $N$ than at $M$
Dsame at $M$ and $N$

Correct answer

C. greater at $N$ than at $M$

Step-by-step solution

The velocity of flow will increase if cross-section decreases and vice-versa. Horizontal tube of non-uniform cross-section has radii of 0.1 m and 0.05 m respectively at M and N . For a streamline

i.e.,

\quad A_1 v_1=A_2 v_2

A v=

constant Therefore, the rate of liquid flow will be greater at

N

than at

M
