Assertion: A fluid flowing out of a small hole in a vessel apply a backward thrust on the vessel.
Reason: According to equation of continuity, the product of area and velocity remain 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
Due to small area of cross-section of the hole, fluid flows out of the vessel with a large speed and thus the fluid possesess a large linear momentum. As no external force acts on the system, in order to conserve linear momentum, the vessel acquires a velocity in backward thrust result on the vessel.

Assertion : The equation of motion can be applied only if acceleration is along the direction of velocity and is constant. Reason : If the acceleration of a body is constant then its motion is known as uniform motion.

Two cylindrcal vesels placed on a horizontal table contain water and mercury respectively up to the same height.
