Answer:
Correct Answer: 42. (d)
Solution:
(d) Amount of water flowing per second from the pipe
$ =\frac{m}{\text{ time }}=\frac{m}{\ell} \cdot \frac{\ell}{t}=(\frac{m}{\ell}) v $
Power $=$ K.E. of water flowing per second
$=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{m}{\ell}) v \cdot v^{2}$
$=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{m}{\ell}) v^{3}$
$=\frac{1}{2} \times 100 \times 8=400 W$
