Question

The pressures of water in a water pipe when the tap is closed and open are respectively 3.5 x 105 N/m2 and 3 x 105 N/m2. The velocity of water flowing through the pipe when the tap is open is:

Moderate
Solution

From Bernoulli's theorem
P1+12ρv12=P2+12ρu22 3.5×105+0=3×105+12×103u22                u2=(0.5×105)×2103=10 ms-1
