A pitot tube is fixed in a water pipe of diameter `14 cm` and difference of pressure by the gauge is `20 cm` of water column. Calculate the rate of flow of water.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In Pitot tube velocity of liquids is given by
`V=sqrt(2xx1000xx20)=200m//s`
`Q=Av=pir^(2)v`
`=25/7xx7^(2)xx200=30800cm^(3)//s=30.8 1//s`
