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
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. i.e., A₁ v₁=A₂ v₂ or A v= constant Therefore, the rate of liquid flow will be greater at N than at M .
