When an object is in motion, its position changes with time. So, the quantity that
describes how fast is the position changing w.r.t. time and in what direction is given by
average velocity. It is defined as the change in position or displacement (Δx ) divided by
the time interval (Δt ) in which that displacement occurs. However, the quantity used to
describe the rate of motion over the actual path, is average speed. It defined as the total
distance travelled by the object divided by the total time taken.

If an object moving along the straight line covers equal distances in equal intervals of
time, it is said to be in uniform motion along a straight line. Distance and displacement
are two quantities that seem to mean the same but are different with different meanings
and definitions. Distance is the measure of actual path length travelled by object. It is
scalar quantity having SI unit of metre while displacement refers to the shortest distance
between initial and final position of object. It is vector quantity. The magnitude of the
displacement for a course of motion may be zero but the corresponding path length is
not zero. using this data answer following questions.

Variation of pressure with depth

Thus, the pressure P, at depth below the surface of a liquid open to the atmosphere is
greater than atmospheric pressure by an amount pgh. The excess of pressure, P − P a, at
depth h is called a gauge pressure at that point. The area of the cylinder is not appearing
in the expression of absolute pressure. Thus, the height of the fluid column is important
and not cross-sectional or base area or the shape of the container. The liquid pressure is
the same at all points at the same horizontal level called as hydrostatic paradox. The
flow of the fluid is said to be steady if at any given point, the velocity of each passing
fluid particle remains constant in time. This does not mean that the velocity at different
points in space is same. The velocity of a particular particle may change as it moves
from one point to another. That is, at some other point the particle may have a different
velocity, but every other particle which passes the second point behaves exactly as the
previous particle that has just passed that point. Each particle follows a smooth path,
and the paths of the particles do not cross each other. The path taken by a fluid particle
under a steady flow is a streamline. It is defined as a curve whose tangent at any point is
in the direction of the fluid velocity at that point.  For steady flow equation of continuity
hold good and it is a statement of conservation of mass in flow of incompressible fluids.
In general
Av = constant
Av gives the volume flux or flow rate and remains constant throughout the pipe of flow.
Thus, at narrower portions where the streamlines are closely spaced, velocity increases
and it’s vice versa. Steady flow is achieved at low flow speeds. Beyond a limiting value,
called critical speed, this flow loses steadiness and becomes turbulent. One sees this
when a fast flowing stream encounters rocks, small foamy whirlpool-like regions called
white water rapids are formed.
1) The flow of the fluid is said to be steady if at any given point, the velocity of
each passing fluid particle
a) Remains constant in time
b) changes continuously
c) continuously increasing
d) None of these
2) According to equation of continuity area is
a) Directly proportional to velocity
b) Inversely proportional to velocity
c) Does not depends upon velocity
d) None of these
3) Give equation of continuity
4) Write a note on Variation of pressure with depth. Give its formula

4) 
Thus, the pressure P, at depth below the surface of a liquid open to the
atmosphere is greater than atmospheric pressure by an amount rgh. The excess
of pressure, P − Pa, at depth h is called a gauge pressure at that point.
5) The liquid pressure is remains the same at all points at the same horizontal
level independent on area at base called as hydrostatic paradox.

Whenever external pressure is applied on any part of a fluid contained in a vessel, it is
transmitted undiminished and equally in all directions. This is another form of the
Pascal’s law and it has many applications in daily life. A number of devices, such as
hydraulic lift and hydraulic brakes, are based on the Pascal’s law. In these devices,
fluids are used for transmitting pressure.
Fluid flow is a complex phenomenon. Bernoulli’s principle helps in explaining blood flow
in artery. The artery may get constricted due to the accumulation of plaque on its inner
walls. In order to drive the blood through this constriction a greater demand is placed on
the activity of the heart. The speed of the flow of the blood in this region is raised which
lowers the pressure inside and the artery may collapse due to the external pressure. The
heart exerts further pressure to open this artery and forces the blood through. As the
blood rushes through the opening, the internal pressure once again drops due to same
reasons leading to a repeat collapse. This may result in heart attack.
Dynamic lift is the force that acts on a body, such as airplane wing, a hydrofoil or a
spinning ball, by virtue of its motion through a fluid. In many games such as cricket,
tennis, baseball, or golf, we notice that a spinning ball deviates from its parabolic
trajectory as it moves through air. This deviation can be partly explained on the basis of
Bernoulli’s principle. A ball which is spinning drags air along with it. If the surface is
rough more air will be dragged. shows the streamlines of air for a ball which is moving
and spinning at the same time. The ball is moving forward and relative to it the air is
moving backwards. Therefore, the velocity of air above the ball relative to the ball is
larger and below it is smaller .The stream lines, thus, get crowded above and rarified
below. This difference in the velocities of air results in the pressure difference between
the lower and upper faces and there is a net upward force on the ball. This dynamic lift
due to spining is called Magnus effect.
The Venturi-meter is a device to measure the flow speed of incompressible fluid. The
principle behind this meter has many applications. The carburetor of automobile has a
Venturi channel (nozzle) through which air flows with a high speed. The pressure is then
lowered at the narrow neck and the petrol (gasoline) is sucked up in the chamber to provide
the correct mixture of air to fuel necessary for combustion. Filter pumps or aspirators, Bunsen
burner, atomisers and sprayers used for perfumes or to spray insecticides work on the same
principle.

a) Flow speed of incompressible fluid.
b)  Area occupied by fluid.
c) Volume occupied by fluid

4) Explain Magnus effect with example of ball with spin in air.
5) What is dynamic lift?
 

Answer key – 4
1) a
2) a
3) With the help of Bernoulli’s principle we can explain heart attack phenomenon. The artery
may get constricted due to the accumulation of plaque on its inner walls. In order to flow the
blood through this constriction a large pressure is exerted on heart. The speed of the flow of
the blood in this region is raised which lowers the pressure inside and the artery may collapse
due to the external pressure. The heart exerts further pressure to open this artery and forces
the blood through. As the blood flows fast through the opening, the internal pressure once
again drops due to same reasons leading to a repeat collapse. This result in heart attack.
4) A ball which is spinning drags air along with it. If the surface is rough more air will be
dragged. When ball is moving forward and relative to it the air is moving backwards.
Therefore, the velocity of air above the ball relative to the ball is larger and below it is
smaller. This difference in the velocities of air results in the pressure difference between the
lower and upper faces and there is a net upward force on the ball. This dynamic lift due to
spinning is called Magnus effect.
5) Dynamic lift is the force that acts on a body due to its motion through a fluid. In many
games such as cricket, tennis, we notice that a spinning ball deviates from its parabolic
trajectory this is nothing but dynamic lift.
