Water is flowing through a horizontal pipe of non -uniform cross-section . At he extreme narrow portion of the pipe . The water will have :

Options:

A . maximum speed and least pressure

B . maximum pressure and maximum speed

C . both pressure and speed maximum

D . both pressure and speed least.

Answer: Option A

Bernoulli's principle states that if speed of liquid at a place is maximum then at hat place pressure will be minimum Therefore at the extreme narrow portion of the pipe of non -uniform cross section, the speed is maximum , so pressure will be minimum .
