From equation of continuity,
av1=2av2⇒v2=2v1
From Bernoulli's theorem,
P1+21ρv12+ρgh1=P2+21ρv22+ρgh2⇒P1−P2=ρ[g(h2−h1)+21(v22−v12)]⇒4100=800[10(−1)+213v12]⇒8004100+10=23v12⇒v1=4×3121=6363ms−1
Therefore, x=363.
An ideal fluid of density 800kgm−3, flows smoothly through a bent pipe (as shown in figure) that tapers in cross-sectional area from a to 2a. The pressure difference between the wide and narrow sections of pipe is 4100Pa. At wider section, the velocity of fluid is 6xms−1 for x=_____ . (Given g=10ms−2)

Net gravitational force at the center of a square is found to be $F_{1}$ when four particles having mass $M, 2 M, 3 M$ and $4 M$ are placed at the four corners of the square as shown in figure and it is $F_{2}$ when the positions of $3 M$ and $4 M$ are interchanged. The ratio $\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}$ is $\frac{\alpha}{\sqrt{5}}$. The value of $\alpha$ is $\_\_\_\_$. 
A particle of mass 2 kg is projected vertically upward with a speed of 30 m/s. The maximum height reached by the particle is (g = 10 m/s²):
Two projectiles are projected with the same initial velocities at the $15^\circ$ and $30^\circ$ with respect to the horizontal. The ratio of their ranges is $1:x$. The value of $x$ is:
In an experiment the values of two spring constants were measured as $k_{1}=(10 \pm 0.2) \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}$ and $k_{2}=(20 \pm 0.3) \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}$. If these springs are connected in parallel, then the percentage error in equivalent spring constant is :
The surface tension of a soap solution is $3.5 \times 10^{-2}$ N/m. The work required to increase the radius of a soap bubble from $1$ cm to $2$ cm is $\alpha \times 10^{-6}$ J. The value of $\alpha$ is _____. ($\pi = 22/7$)
