The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the three cases of the cylindrical tube filled with water and determine under what conditions the speeds \( v_1 \) and \( v_2 \) are equal. We will use the principle of continuity in fluid mechanics, which states that for an incompressible fluid flowing through a pipe, the product of the cross-sectional area and the fluid velocity is constant along the pipe. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Setup**: - We have a cylindrical tube with two ends: A (where water enters) and B (where water exits). - The water enters with speed \( v_1 \) at end A and exits with speed \( v_2 \) at end B. - The tube is completely filled with water. 2. **Case I: Horizontal Tube**: - In this case, the tube is horizontal, and the height difference between A and B is zero. - According to the continuity equation: \[ A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2 \] - Since the cross-sectional area \( A_1 \) at A is equal to the cross-sectional area \( A_2 \) at B (the tube is cylindrical and uniform), we can conclude: \[ v_1 = v_2 \] 3. **Case II: Vertical Tube with A Upward**: - Here, the tube is vertical with end A at the top and end B at the bottom. - The continuity equation still applies: \[ A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2 \] - Again, since \( A_1 = A_2 \), we have: \[ v_1 = v_2 \] - The gravitational potential energy does not affect the flow speed directly since the tube is completely filled with water. 4. **Case III: Vertical Tube with B Upward**: - In this scenario, the tube is vertical with end B at the top and end A at the bottom. - The continuity equation applies as well: \[ A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2 \] - Since \( A_1 = A_2 \), we again find: \[ v_1 = v_2 \] - The orientation does not change the fact that the tube is filled with water. 5. **Conclusion**: - In all three cases (horizontal, vertical A up, vertical B up), the speeds \( v_1 \) and \( v_2 \) are equal due to the continuity equation and the uniform cross-sectional area of the tube. ### Final Answer: In all cases (I, II, and III), we have \( v_1 = v_2 \).
