33. Water coming out of the mouth of a tap and falling vertically in streamline flow forms a tapering column, i.e.,
the area of cross–section of the liquid column decreases as it moves down. Which of the following is the most
accurate explanation for this :-
(A) As the water moves down, its speed increases and hence its pressure decreases. It is then compressed
by the atmosphere.
(B) Falling water tries to reach a terminal velocity and hence reduces the area of cross–section to balance
upward and downward forces.
(C) The mass of water flowing past any cross–section must remain constant. Also, water is almost incompressible.
Hence, the rate of volume flow must remain constant. As this is equal to velocity × area, the area decreases
as velocity increases.

The human circulatory system can be thought of as a closed system of interconnecting pipes through which fluid is
continuously circulated by two pumps. The two pumps, the right and left ventricles of the heart, work as simple two–
stroke force pumps. The muscles of the heart regulate the force by contracting and relaxing. The contraction (systole)
lasts about 0.2s, and a complete systole/diastole (contraction/relaxation) cycle lasts about 0.8 s.
For blood pressures and speeds in the normal range, the volume flow rate of blood through a blood vessel is directly
proportional to the pressure difference over a length of the vessel and to the fourth power of the radius of the vessel.
The total mechanical energy per unit volume of blood just as it leaves the heart is : E/V = gh + P +  2

the blood remains the same.

on the blood remains the same

a blood vessel ?

Comprehension #6
When an object moves through a fluid, as when a ball falls through air or a glass sphere falls through water, the fluid
exerts a viscous force F on the object. This force tends to slow the object. For a small sphere of radius r, moving is
given by Stoke's law, Fv = 6r. In this formula,  is the coefficient of viscosity of the fluid, which is the proportionality
constant that determines how much tangential force is required to move a fluid layer at a constant speed , when the
layer has an area A and is located a perpendicular distance z from and immobile surface. The magnitude of the force
is given by F = A/z. For a viscous fluid to move from location 2 to location 1 along 2 must exceed that at location
1. Poiseuille's law gives the volume flow rate Q that results from such a pressure difference P 2–P 1. The flow rate is
