    Velocity as water = Cv2gh
    Cv = 1 (Given)

    h = x
    sg
    - 1
    s0

    = 0.01 (10 – 1) = 0.09 m
    ∴ velocity of flow = √2 × 9.8 × 0.09 = 1.328 m/ s

    Correct Option: C

    Velocity as water = Cv2gh
    Cv = 1 (Given)

    h = x
    sg
    - 1
    s0

    = 0.01 (10 – 1) = 0.09 m
    ∴ velocity of flow = √2 × 9.8 × 0.09 = 1.328 m/ s

  1. The arrangement shown in the figure measures the velocity V of a gas of density 1 kg/m³ flowing through a pipe. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s². If the manometric fluid is water (density 1000 kg/m³) and the velocity V is 20 m/ s, the differential head h(in mm) between the two arms of the manometer is _________.

    Dynamic pressure of gas = (δgh)water

    1
    δgasv2 = δm × 9.81 × h
    2

    1
    × 1 × (20)² = 1000 × 9.81 × h
    2

    h = 0.02038 m of water
    h = 20.38 mm of water

    Correct Option: D

    Dynamic pressure of gas = (δgh)water

    1
    δgasv2 = δm × 9.81 × h
    2

    1
    × 1 × (20)² = 1000 × 9.81 × h
    2

    h = 0.02038 m of water
    h = 20.38 mm of water
