Assertion: The velocity of flow of a liq...

Assertion: The velocity of flow of a liquid is smaller when pressure is larger and viceversa.
Reason: According to Bernoulli's theorem, for the stream line flow of an ideal liquid, the totla energy per unit mass remains constant.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

if assertion is true but reason is false.

D

if both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
According to Bernoulli's theorem,
`P+1/2 rhov^(2)` = a constant
i.e., when velocity is large, the pressure is less in a stream line flow of an ideal liquid through a horizontal tube.

Ac cording to Bernoulli's theorem for the streamline flow of an ideal liquid, the sum of pressure energy/mass, kinetic energy/mass and potential energy /mass remains constant at every cross section, throughout the liquid flow. i.e., (P)/(rho) + (1)/(2)upsilon^2 + gh = cosntant, where the symbols have their usual meaning. Note that an ideal liquied is the one, which is perfectly incompressible, irrotational and non visous. Read the above passage and answer the following question ? (i) At what speed will the velocity head of a stream of water be equal to 40 cm ? (ii) What is the implication of Bernoulli's theorem in day to day life ?
