Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Machinery

  1. 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
    1. 10
    2. 15
    3. 20
    4. 25
Correct Option: B

Q = A1 V1 =A2 V2
