Question

$\text{If}\rho \text{is density of fluid, then pressure of fluid due to water hammer is directly proportional to-}$

• A. $\rho$
• B. $\frac{1}{\sqrt{\rho }}$
• C. $\sqrt{\rho }$
• D. ${\rho }^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\sqrt{\rho }$

$\text{Water hammer pressure}=\rho VC$

$C=\sqrt{\frac{K}{\rho }}$

$\Rightarrow \text{Water hammer pressure}\propto \sqrt{\rho }$
