JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 6th September Evening Slot - No. 5)

A fluid is flowing through a horizontal pipe of varying cross-section, with
speed v ms–1 at a point where the pressure is P pascal. At another point where pressure is $${P \over 2}$$ Pascal its speed is V ms–1. If the density of the fluid is $$\rho $$ kg m–3 and the flow is streamline, then V is equal to :
$$\sqrt {{P \over {2\rho }} + {v^2}} $$
$$\sqrt {{P \over \rho } + {v^2}} $$
$$\sqrt {{{2P} \over \rho } + {v^2}} $$
$$\sqrt {{P \over \rho } + {v}} $$

Explanation

From Bernoulli's equation,

P + $${1 \over 2}\rho {v^2}$$ = $${P \over 2} + {1 \over 2}\rho {V^2}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ V = $$\sqrt {{P \over \rho } + {v^2}} $$
