JEE Main 2026 · 8 Apr · Shift 2, Physics question 33

A liquid of density 600 kg/m³ flowing steadily in a tube of varying cross-section. The cross-section at a point AA is 1.0 cm² and that at BB is 20 mm². Both the points AA and BB are in same horizontal plane, the speed of the liquid at AA is 10 cm/s. The difference in pressures at AA and BB points is ________ Pa.

Choose one option
Answer and worked solution

Official answer: D

Continuity. vB=vAAAAB=0.1×10020=0.5v_B=v_A\dfrac{A_A}{A_B}=0.1\times\dfrac{100}{20}=0.5 m/s.

Bernoulli.
ΔP=12(600)(0.25−0.01)=72 Pa.\Delta P=\tfrac12(600)(0.25-0.01)=72\text{ Pa}.

(D)
