Water is coming out from a tap and a falls vertically downwards. At the tap opening, the stream diameter is 20 mm with uniform velocity of 2 m/s. Acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/ s². Assuming steady, inviscid flow, constant atmospheric pressure everywhere and neglecting curvature and surface tension effects, the diameter in mm of the stream 0.5 m below the tap is approximately

Correct Option: B
Q = A1 V1 =A2 V2
⇒ | (20)² × 2 = | × d² × √2 x 9.8 x 0.5 | 4 | 4 |
d ≈ 15mm
