A horizontal pipe carries water in the positive direction ofxincrease ...
Explanation:
When water flows through a horizontal pipe, it experiences pressure due to the weight of the water above it. This pressure is known as hydrostatic pressure and is directly proportional to the depth of the water.
Hydrostatic Pressure:
The hydrostatic pressure at a particular point in a fluid is given by the equation:
P = P₀ + ρgh
Where:
P is the pressure at the point,
P₀ is the pressure at a reference point (usually taken as atmospheric pressure),
ρ is the density of the fluid,
g is the acceleration due to gravity, and
h is the height of the fluid column above the point.
Water Stream from the Holes:
In this case, the holes are made vertically upwards. When the water stream exits the holes, it is subject to the atmospheric pressure. Therefore, the pressure at the exit point of each hole is the same.
Since the pressure at the exit point is the same for all three holes, the height to which the water stream rises from each hole will also be the same. This is because the height of the water column above the exit point determines the pressure at that point, and the pressure is the same for all three holes.
Conclusion:
Based on the above explanation, the correct answer is option 'C'. The height to which the water stream rises from the three holes is the same.
