Important Questions on Bernoulli's Principle and its Applications

EASY
IMPORTANT

A siphon tube is used to carry water from a reservoir at a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure to an open-end 4 m below the water surface. If the summit of the siphon is at 1 m height, calculate the speed of water coming out of the open end in m/s. Take the value of g=10 m/s2 and consider summit of the siphon to be at atmospheric pressure.
