Water coming out of the mouth of a tap and falling vertically in streamline flow forms a tapering column, i.e.
the area of cross-section of the liquid column decreases as it moves down. Which of the following is the most
accurate explanation for this?
MCQ_1.3_46
(A) as the water moves down, its speed increases and hence its pressure decreases. It is
then compressed by the atmosphere
(B) f alling water tries to reach a terminal v elocity and hence reduces the area of crosssection to balance upward and downward forces
(C*) the mass of water flowing past any cross-section must remain constant. Also, water is
almost incompressible. Hence, the rate of volume flow must remain constant. As this is
equal to velocity area, the area decreases as velocity increases
(D) the surface tension causes the exposed surface area of the liquid to decrease continuously.

Example :
A 700 g solid cube having an edge of length 10 cm floats in water. How much volume of the cube is outside
the water ? Density of water = 1000 kg/m3.
HCV_Ch-13_Sol.Ex._2
Sol.
The weight of the cube is balanced by the buoyant force. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the water
displaced. If a volume V of the cube is inside the water, the weight of the displaced water = Vg, where is
the density of water. Thus,
Vg = (0.7 kg) g
V=

A beaker of circular cross-section of radius 4 cm is filled with mercury upto a height of 10 cm. Find the force
exerted by the mercury on the bottom of the beaker. The atmospheric pressure = 105 N/m2. Density of
mercury = 13600 kg/m3 . Take g = 10 m/s2.
HCV_Ch-13_WOE_1
The pressure at the surface = atmospheric pressure
= 105 N/m2.
The pressure at the bottom = 105 N/m2 + hg
= 105 N/m2 + hg
= 105 N/m2 + (0.1 m)
= 105 N/m2 + 13600 N/m2
= 1.136 105 N/m2.
The force exerted by the mercury on the bottom
= (1.136 105 N/m2) (3.14 0.04 m 0.04 m)
= 571 N.
