Properties Of Solids And Liquids Question 224

Question: The rate of steady volume flow of water through a capillary tube of length ’l’ and radius ‘r’ under a pressure difference of P is V. This tube is connected with another tube of the same length but half the radius in series. Then the rate of steady volume flow through them is (The pressure difference across the combination is P)[EAMCET (Engg.) 2003]

Options:

A)V16

B)V17

C)16V17

D)17V16

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Rate of flow of liquid V=PR

where liquid resistance R=8ηlπr4

For another tube liquid resistance R=8ηlπ(r2)4=8ηlπr4.16=16R

For the series combination VNew=PR+R=PR+16R=P17R

=V17 .
