Q.

A non-viscous liquid of constant density 500kg/m3  flows in a variable cross-sectional tube. The area of cross-section of the tube at two points P  and Q  at heights of 3m  and 6m  are 2×10−3 m2  and 4×10−3 m2  respectively. the work done per unit volume by the forces of gravity as the fluid from point P  to Q  is:

Detailed Solution

Work done per unit volume by force of gravity =− change in PE per unit volume∴  W=−ΔU=−ρg(h2−h1) =−ρg(6−3) =−3×500×9.8 =−1.47×104J/m3
