Practice question
Question
Water flows through a pipe of area 0.05m2 at 1.5m/s. What is the speed in a section of area 0.015m2?
Explanation
Continuity equation: A1v1 = A2v2. A1 = 0.05m2, v1 = 1.5m/s, A2 = 0.015m2. v2 = A1v1A2 = 0.05×1.50.015 = 5m/s. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 5 m/s. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option C is scientifically correct.
