Question:medium
In a horizontal pipe of non-uniform cross-section, water flows with a velocity of \( 1 \text{ m s}^{-1} \) at a point where the diameter of the pipe is 20 cm. The velocity of water (in m s\(^{-1}\)) at a point where the diameter of the pipe is 5 cm is

Show Hint
Velocity increases when cross-sectional area decreases — inverse square relation with diameter.
