Properties Of Solids And Liquids Question 237

Question: Water flows in a streamlined manner through a capillary tube of radius a, the pressure difference being P and the rate of flow Q. If the radius is reduced to a/2 and the pressure increased to 2P, the rate of flow becomes

Options:

A) 9.4 m

B) 4.9 m

C) 0.49 m

D) 0.94 m

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

Given, l1=l2=1, and r1r2=12

V=πP1r148ηl=πP2r248ηl

therefore P1P2=(r2r1)4=16

therefore P1=16P2

Since both tubes are connectedin series, hence pressure difference across combination, P=P1+P2

therefore 1 = P1+P116

therefore P1=1617=0.94m
