Q20 of 81 Page 271

Water is flowing through a long horizontal tube. Let PA and PB be the pressures at two points A and B of the tube.

The pressure at the two points would be equal only if the velocities of the water at these points are equal. This is possible only if the cross-sectional areas are equal at the points. If this is not true, the pressure will vary with the velocities of the water at the points.

Water enters through end A with a speed u1 and leaves through end B with a speed u2 of a cylindrical tube AB. The tube is always completely filled with water. In case I the tube is horizontal, in case II it is vertical with the end A upward and in case III it is vertical with the end B upward. We have v1 = v2 for

Water and mercury are filled in two cylindrical vessels up to same height. Both vessels have a hole in the wall near the bottom. The velocity of water and mercury coming out of the holes are u1 and u2 respectively.
