(a) $2 \pi r T$

(b) $2 \pi R T$

(c) $\frac{2 \pi r^{2} T}{R}$

(d) $\frac{2 \pi R^{2} T}{r}$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 10. 500

Solution:

  1. From continuity equation

Applying Bernoulli’s theorem at 1 and 2

$$ \begin{aligned} & p _2+\frac{1}{2} \rho v _2^{2}=p _1+\frac{1}{2} \rho v _1^{2} \\ & \therefore \quad p _2=p _1+\frac{1}{2} \rho\left(v _1^{2}-v _2^{2}\right) \\ & =\left(2000+\frac{1}{2} \times 10^{3}(1-4)\right) \\ & \therefore \quad p _2=500 Pa \end{aligned} $$
