Q 10.16 The cylindrical tube of a spray pump has a cross-section of 8.0 cm2 one end of which has 40 fine holes each of diameter 1.0 mm. If the liquid flow inside the tube is 1.5 m min-1, what is the speed of ejection of the liquid through the holes?
Cross-sectional area of cylindrical tube is a1 = 8.0 cm2
The total area of the 40 fine holes is a2
Speed of liquid inside the tube is v1 = 1.5 m min-1
Let the speed of ejection of fluid through the holes be v2
Using the continuity equation
