Properties Of Solids And Liquids Question 226

Question: We have two (narrow) capillary tubes T1 and T2. Their lengths are l1 and l2 and radii of cross-section are r1 and r2 respectively. The rate of flow of water under a pressure difference P through tube T1 is 8cm3/sec. If l1 = 2l2 and r1 =r2, what will be the rate of flow when the two tubes are connected in series and pressure difference across the combination is same as before (= P)

Options:

A)4 cm3/sec

B)(16/3) cm3/sec

C)(8/17) cm3/sec

D)None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

V=πPr48ηl=8cm3sec

For composite tube V1=Pπr48η(l+l2)=23πPr48ηl

=23×8=163cm3sec

[  l1=l=2l2 or l2=l2]
