  • P+ρgh+12ρv2=constant

     

  • P+ρgh+ρv2=constant

     

  • P+mgh+12mv2=constant

     

  • P+12ρgh+12ρv2=constant

     

(1)    

         P+ρgh+12ρv2=constant

          Energy per unit volume is conserved.

(50)      Change in pressure=12ρv2

             4.5×104-2×104=12×103×v2

             2.5×104=12×103×v2

Q 3 :

A plane is in level flight at constant speed and each of its two wings has an area of 40 m2. If the speed of the air is 180 km/h over the lower wing surface and 252 km/h over the upper wing surface, the mass of the plane is __________ kg.

(Take air density to be 1kg m-3 and g=10 ms-2)                             [2024]



(9600)      By Bernoulli's equation

                P1+12ρv12=P2+12ρv22

               12×ρ×[4900-2500]=mgA

              12×1×2400=m×1080

               m=9600kg



Q 4 :

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: When speed of liquid is zero everywhere, pressure difference at any two points depends on equation P1-P2=ρg(h2-h1).

Statement II: In venturi tube shown, 2gh=v12-v22

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.      [2024]

  • Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.

     

  • Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.

     

  • Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.

     

  • Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.

     

(3)

From Bernoulli’s equation

P1+ρgh1+12ρv12=P2+ρgh2+12ρv22

[h1 and h2 are height of points from any reference level]

For statement 1:

When speed of liquid is zero everywhere, v1=v2=0

∴ P1-P2=ρg(h2-h1), Hence, statement I is correct.

For statement 2, h1=h2

P1+12ρv12=P2+12ρv22⇒P1-P2=12ρ(v22-v12)

But, P1-P2=ρgh⇒ρgh=12ρ(v22-v12)

Hence, 2gh=v22-v12, Hence statement II is incorrect.

Consider a completely full cylindrical water tank of height 1.6 m and cross-sectional area 0.5 m2. It has a small hole in its side at a height 90 cm from the bottom. Assume, the cross-sectional area of the hole to be negligibly small as compared to that of the water tank. If a load 50 kg is applied at the top surface of the water in the tank them the velocity of the water coming out at the instant when the hole is opened is: (g=10 m/s2)          [2025]

  • 3 m/s

     

  • 5 m/s

     

  • 2 m/s

     

  • 4 m/s

Apply Bernoulli equation between points 1 and 2

P1+12ρv12+ρgh=P2+12ρv22+0

P0+mgA+ρg70100=P0+12ρv22

As the tank area is large v1 is negligible compared to v2

50005+103×1070100=12×103v22

103+103×7=1032v22 ⇒ v22=16

⇒ v2=4 m/s

V1=25×60×10-2×101.5=10 cm/s

By Bernoulli's theorem

P1+12×1000×(0.1)2=P2+12×1000×(0.6)2

P1+5=P2+12×1000×36×10-2

750×10-4 v1=500×10-6×0.3

ΔP=P1-P2=3 N/m2  (given)

By continuity eqn, A1v1=A2v2

∴ v1=A2A1v2                                       ...(i)

By Bernoulli's eqn,

P1+12ρv12=P2+12ρv22

P1-P2=12ρ(v22-v12)

⇒ΔP=12ρ[1-(A2A1)2]v22

Correct answer is x=4

  • Velocity of fluid of section-(1) is gh3

     

  • Velocity of fluid at section-(1) is 2gh3

     

  • Work done by gravitational force per unit volume from section-(1) to section-(2) is ρgh 

     

  • Work done by elastic forces (pressure) per unit volume from section-(1) to section-(2) is 3ρgh

Applying Bernoulli's equation from section-(1) and (2)

P1+12ρV12+ρgh1=P2+12ρV22+ρgh2

P1+12ρV2+0=P2+12ρ(2V)2+ρgh
