MCQ
Figures below show water flowing through a horizontal pipe from left to right. Note that the pipe in the middle is narrower. Choose the most appropriate depiction of water levels in the vertical pipes.

  • B

  • C

  • D

Answer

Correct option: A.

a
$(a)$ By Bernoulli's equation for streamline flow,

$p+\frac{1}{2} \rho v^{2}+\rho g h=\text { a constant }$

In given situation $h=$ constant

$\therefore \quad p+\frac{1}{2} \rho v^{2}=$ constant

When velocity of flow in narrow section increases, pressure decreases.

So, current level in vertical tubes is as shown below.

A ball of mass $10\, kg$ moving with a velocity $10 \sqrt{3} m / s$ along the $x-$axis, hits another ball of mass $20\, kg$ which is at rest. After the collision, first ball comes to rest while the second ball disintegrates into two equal pieces. One piece starts moving along $y-$axis with a speed of $10$ $m / s$. The second piece starts moving at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with respect to the $x-$axis. The velocity of the ball moving at $30^{\circ}$ with $x-$ axis is $x\, m / s$. The configuration of pieces after collision is shown in the figure below. The value of $x$ to the nearest integer is
