Q.

A water spray gun is attached to a hose of cross sectional area 30 cm2. The gun comprises of 10 perforations each of cross sectional area of 15 mm2. If the water flows in this hose with the speed of 50 cm/s, calculate the speed at which the water flows out from each perforation. (Neglect any edge effects)               [2026]

1 100 m/s  
2 10 m/s  
3 1000 m/s  
4 15×102 m/s

Using equation of continuity, AV=10av

⇒v=AV10a=30×5010×0.15=1000 cm/s=10 m/s
