Question
Water is flowing through a pipe of non-uniform cross section. The ratio of the radii of tube at entrance and exit is 3:5. What is the ratio of the velocity of liquid entering and leaving the tube?
Solution
Given, ratio of the velocity of liquid entering and leaving tube is 3:5.
Now, using equation of continuity,
Ratio of the velocity of liquid entering and leaving the tube = 5:3.
Now, using equation of continuity,
Ratio of the velocity of liquid entering and leaving the tube = 5:3.
