Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2020

A fluid is flowing through a horizontal pipe of varying cross-section, with
speed v ms–1 at a point where the pressure is P pascal. At another point where pressure is ${P \over 2}$ Pascal its speed is V ms–1. If the density of the fluid is $\rho$ kg m–3 and the flow is streamline, then V is equal to :

  1. A $\sqrt {{P \over {2\rho }} + {v^2}}$
  2. B $\sqrt {{P \over \rho } + {v^2}}$ Correct answer
  3. C $\sqrt {{{2P} \over \rho } + {v^2}}$
  4. D $\sqrt {{P \over \rho } + {v}}$

Solution

From Bernoulli's equation, <br><br>P + ${1 \over 2}\rho {v^2}$ = ${P \over 2} + {1 \over 2}\rho {V^2}$ <br><br>$\Rightarrow$ V = $\sqrt {{P \over \rho } + {v^2}}$
