Options:
  • A $\left[\frac{2\left(\mathrm{P}_{1}+\mathrm{P}_{2}\right)}{\rho}\right]^{1 / 2}$
  • B $\left[\frac{2\left(\mathrm{P}_{1}-\mathrm{P}_{2}\right)}{\rho}\right]^{1 / 2}$
  • C $\left[\frac{\rho}{2\left(\mathrm{P}_{1}-\mathrm{P}_{2}\right)}\right]^{1 / 2}$
  • D $\left[\frac{\rho}{2\left(\mathrm{P}_{1}+\mathrm{P}_{2}\right)}\right]^{1 / 2}$

The correct answer is: $\left[\frac{2\left(\mathrm{P}_{1}-\mathrm{P}_{2}\right)}{\rho}\right]^{1 / 2}$
(B)
By Bernoulli equation,
$\begin{aligned}
& P_{1}=P_{2}+\frac{1}{2} \rho v^{2} \\
\therefore & P_{1}-P_{2}=\frac{1}{2} \rho v^{2} \\
\therefore \quad v &=\sqrt{\frac{2\left(P_{1}-P_{2}\right)}{\rho}}
\end{aligned}$
