1. Velocity of flow of water in a horizontal pipe is 10.0 m s-1.
Find the velocity-head of water. (g = 10.0 m s-2 ).
2. Water is flowing through a cylindrical pipe of cross-sectional area 0.09 π m² at a speed of 1.0 m s.
If the diameter of the pipe is halved, then find the speed of flow of water through it.
3. Water is flowing through a horizontal tube of non-uniform cross-section. At a place the radius of
the tube is 0.5 cm and the velocity of water there is 20 cm s-1. What will be the velocity at another
place where the radius of the tube is 1.0 cm?
4. Water is flowing through a horizontal pipe of non-uniform cross-section. The speed of water is 30
cm s-1 at a place where pressure is 10 cm (of water). Calculate the speed of water at the other place
where the pressure is half of that at the first place.
5. Water enters a horizontal pipe of non-uniform cross-section with a velocity of 0.5 m s-1 and leaves
the other end with a velocity of 0.7 m s-1. The pressure of water at the first end is 103 N m-2.
Calculate pressure at the other end. (Density of water -1.0 x 103 kg m-3)
6. What will be the terminal velocity of a steel ball of radius 2 mm in glycerine?
7. An iron ball of radius 0.3 cm falling through a column of oil of density 0.94 6O cm -3 attains a
terminal velocity of 0.5 cm s-1. What is the coefficient of viscosity of the oil?
The density of iron is 7.8 g cm-3.
8. Two drops of equal radii are falling through air with a terminal velocity of 5 cm s-1. If they
coalesce into one drop, what will be the terminal velocity of the new drop?
9. An air bubble (radius 0.4 mm) rises up in water. Determine the terminal speed of the bubble.
Density of air is negligible.
10. With what terminal velocity will an air bubble of diameter 0.8 mm rise in a liquid of density 900
kg m-3 and viscosity 0.15 N s m-2? What will be the terminal velocity of the same bubble in water?
Ignore density of air.
