In the given figure, the velocity will be
A container has a small hole at its bottom. The area of cross-section of the hole is A1 and that of the container is A2 . The liquid is poured into the container at a constant rate Q m3/s. The maximum level of liquid in the container will be:
From shows how the stream of water emerging from faucet neeks down as it falls. The area changes from to A through a fall of h. At what rate does the water flow the tap?
A cylindrical tank has a hole of 1m at its bottom. If the water is allowed to flow into the tank from a tube above it at a rate of 70cm3/s, the maximum height upto which the water can rise in the tank is:
From shows how the stream of water emerging from faucet neeks down as it falls. The area changes from to A through a fall of h. At what rate does the water flow the tap?

Equation of Continuity
It is applied when fluid is an ideal fluid. (means fluid is Incompressible and Non-viscous)
The equation of continuity is derived from the principle of conservation of mass.
Have a look at the flow of ideal fluid through the tube AB.
For the above figure
Let Mass of the liquid entering per second at A=
And Mass of the liquid leaving per second at B=
From Mass conservation law we can write
=
If the cross-sectional area of the pipe at points A and B be a1 and a2 respectively.
And let the liquid enter with normal velocity v1 at A and leave with velocity v2 at B.
And be the densities of the liquid at point A and B respectively.
Then
But =
And Since flow is incompressible so
So Equation of Continuity for the liquid flow in tube AB is given by
Or the Equation of Continuity states that for the liquid flow in the tube, the product of cross-section area and velocity remains the same at all points in the tube.
From the Equation of Continuity, we can say that
-
The velocity of flow will increase if cross-section decreases and vice-versa.
