Q.

The cylindrical tube of a spray pump has radius R, one end of which has n fine holes, each of radius r. If the speed of the liquid in the tube is V, the speed of the ejection of the liquid through the holes is                 [2015]
 

1 VR2n3r2   
2 V2Rnr  
3 VR2n2r2  
4 VR2nr2

Let the speed of the ejection of the liquid through the holes be v. Then according to the equation of continuity,

πR2V=nπr2v  or  v=πR2Vnπr2=VR2nr2
