Q 10.15 Figures (a) and (b) refer to the steady flow of a (non-viscous) liquid. Which of the two figures is incorrect? Why?
By the continuity equation, the velocity of the non-viscous liquid will be large at the kink than at the rest of the tube and therefore pressure would be lesser here by Bernoulli's principle and the air column above it, therefore, should be of lesser height. Figure (a) is therefore incorrect.
