The reading of pressure metre attached with a closed pipe is $4.5 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2$. On opening the valve, water starts flowing and the reading of pressure metre falls to $2.0 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2$. The velocity of water is found to be $\sqrt{V} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. The value of $V$ is _________.
Answer (integer)
50
Solution
<p>$$\begin{aligned}
& \text { Change in pressure }=\frac{1}{2} \rho \mathrm{v}^2 \\
& 4.5 \times 10^4-2.0 \times 10^4=\frac{1}{2} \times 10^3 \times \mathrm{v}^2 \\
& 2.5 \times 10^4=\frac{1}{2} \times 10^3 \times \mathrm{v}^2 \\
& \mathrm{v}^2=50 \\
& \mathrm{v}=\sqrt{50} \\
& \text { Velocity of water }=\sqrt{\mathrm{V}}=\sqrt{50} \\
& =\mathrm{V}=50
\end{aligned}$$</p>
