The continuity equation shows that the ratio of fluid velocities within different openings is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional areas of those openings. Provide one example where this might be useful for finding differences in areas after measuring velocities, or in finding differences in velocities after measuring areas. Describe your example in detail making sure to talk about the different variables involved.

A typical example of where the continuity equation can be applied, is in finding the cross sectional area of a laminar falling stream of water from a pipe at an elevation, at the point where it hits the ground.

The speed of the water through the discharge opening of the pipe can be measured with a flow-meter, and the cross sectional opening of the pipe is known.

As the water leaves the pipe, and falls towards the ground, the water stream is accelerated under gravity, and the speed of the water stream increase. The increase in the speed of the water stream causes the cross sectional area to decrease in obedience of the continuity law and equation. If the speed of can be measured, then the area of the water stream just before the water touches the ground can be calculated from the continuity equation.

If the speed of the water stream can not be measured, then it can be calculated using Newton' equation of motion

$v^{2} = u^{2} + 2gz$

$v = \sqrt{u^{2} + 2gz}$

where

v = the velocity of the water stream at the point where it hits the ground

u = the velocity of the water at the pipe discharge (measured with a flow meter in the pipe)

g = acceleration due to gravity

z = the elevation of the pipe above the ground.

After calculating the speed of the water stream at the point where it hits the ground, the cross sectional area of the the stream can be calculated from the continuity equation.

uA = va

where

u and v are the velocities of the water stream at the pipe discharge and at the ground respectively.

A = the cross sectional area of the pipe

a = the area of the water stream before it hits the ground.

the equation is simplified as

$a = \frac{uA}{v}$

Answer from: Quest

The best answer is (a) which is universal law is in effect at all times. it is constantly at play in everything we do and governs our lives. it is also important to note that universal law applies to not only everything on earth, but everything in the universe as well, which is another reason why it is in effect at all times.
