A tube of uniform cross section always has water flowing through it. It is kept vertical in such a way that water enters from top and leaves from the bottom. If the speed at a point A below the opening is ‘v’, what will be the speed at a point B vertically below A such that the distance between A & B is ‘2h’?

A tube of uniform cross section always has water flowing through it. It is kept vertical in such a way that water enters from top and leaves from the bottom. If the speed at a point A below the opening is ‘v’, what will be the speed at a point B vertically below A such that the distance between A & B is ‘2h’? Correct Answer v

According to the equation of continuity, the velocity at B will be the same as that at A since the area of the cross section is the same at both points. You may be confused by thinking that gravity will increase its velocity but the pressure will also decrease downwards and therefore net effect will be zero change in velocity.

Mr. Ali decided to walk down the escalator of a tube station. He found that if he walks down 26 steps, he requires 30 seconds to reach the bottom. However, if he steps down 34 stairs he would only require 18 seconds to get to the bottom. If the time is measured from the moment the top step begins to descend to the time he steps off the last step at the bottom, find out the height of the stair way in steps?
