Options:
  • A $\sqrt{v^{2}+\frac{p}{\rho}}$
  • B $\sqrt{v^{2}-\frac{p}{\rho}}$
  • C $\sqrt{v^{2}+\frac{2 p}{\rho}}$
  • D $\sqrt{v^{2}-\frac{2 p}{\rho}}$

The correct answer is: $\sqrt{v^{2}+\frac{p}{\rho}}$
As the water is flowing through the horizontal tube, so in the streamline flow of water, the sun of static pressure and dynamic pressure is constant $i, e$
$$
P+\frac{1}{2} \rho v^{2}=\frac{P}{2}+\frac{1}{2} \rho v_{1}^{2}
$$
$\Rightarrow \quad v_{1}=\sqrt{\frac{P}{\rho}+v^{2}}$
