A steady flow of a liquid of density ρ is shown in figure. At point 1, the area of crosssection is 2A and the speed of flow of liquid is 2 m s-1. At point 2, the area of crosssection is A. Between the points 1 and 2, the pressure difference is 100 N m-2 and the height difference is 10 cm. The value of ρ is
(Acceleration due to gravity =10 m s-2)

The correct answer is: 50 kg m-3

According to the equation of continuity,

A1v1=A2v2v2=22 m s-1

For a steady flow, applying Bernoulli's equation at point 1 and 2,

P1+ρgh1+12ρv12=P2+ρgh2+12ρv22ρgh1-h2+v12-v222=P2-P1ρ10×0.1+2-82=-100ρ=50 kg m-3
