A horizontal pipe carries water in a streamlined flow. At a point along the pipe, where the cross-sectional area is 10 ~cm ⁻² , the velocity of water is 1 ~ms ⁻¹ and the pressure is 2000 Pa . What is the pressure of water at another point where the cross-sectional area is 5 ~cm ^2 ? [Density of water =1000 kgm ⁻³ ]
Options
- A300 Pa
- B400 Pa
- C500 Pa
- D200 Pa
Correct answer
C. 500 Pa
