4. Water is flowing through a horizontal pipe of
non-uniform cross-section. The speed of water is
30 cm s at a place where pressure is 10 cm (of
water). Calculate the speed of water at the other place
where the pressure is half of that at the first place.

Correct Question:
Water is flowing through a horizontal pipe of non-uniform cross-section. the speed of water is 30 cm/s at a place where pressure is 10 cm (of water). calculate the speed of water at the other place where the pressure is half of that at the first place?
Answer:
- Speed of the Water (v₂) = 1.04 m/s.
Given:
- Velocity at one End (v₁) = 30 cm/s.
- Height where pressure (h₁) = 10 cm.
- Height half the Pressure (h₂) =5 cm
Note:-
- We took h₂ as 5 cm as Question states to find the Velocity where the pressure is half of that at the first place.
Explanation:
This is an Application of Bernoullis theorem.
From Bernoullis theorem we Know,
But Question says that the Pipe is Horizontal. Therefore the Height (h) will be Zero.
Therefore, Equation becomes,
We Know, P = hρg
Now,
Substituting the values,
∵ [g = 10 m/s² = 1000 cm/s²]
We know, [1cm = 10⁻²m]
∴ Velocity will be 1.04 m/s.
Correct Question:
Given:
→ Water is flowing through a horizontal pipe of non-uniform cross-section.
The speed of water is 30 cm/s at a place where pressure is 10 cm of water.
Find:
→ Calculate the speed of water at the other place where the pressure is half of that at the first place?
According to given question:
→ 31.62 m/s = (v₂ Speed of Water).
→ 30 cm/s = (v₁ Velocity at one End).
→ 10 cm = (h₁ height of pressure).
→ 5 cm = (h₂ half height of pressure).
Calculations:
→ P + 1/2 pv² = constant
→ P = hpg
→ hpg + 1/2 pv² = constant
→ p(hg + 1/2 v²) = constant
→ hg + 1/2 v² = constant
→ h₁ g + 1/2 v²₁ = h = g + 1/2 v²₂
Adding values to the question:
→ 10 × 10 + 1/2 × (3)² = 5 × 10 + 1/2 v²₂
→ 100 + 1/2 × 900 = 50 + 1/2 v²₂
→ 100 + 1/2 × 900 = 50 + 1/2 v²₂
→ 100 + 450 = 50 + 1/2 v²₂
→ 550 = 50 + 1/2 v²₂
→ 550 = 50 + 1/2 v²₂/2
→ 500 = v²₂/2
→ v²₂ = 500 × 2
→ v²₂ = 1000
→ v₂ = √1000
→ v₂ = 31.62 m/s
Therefore, 31.62 m/s is the velocity.
