The correct answer is (d) unsteady and non-uniform
Best explanation: The velocity in which the water is discharged with a velocity With time as the water gets discharged,v decreases as H decreases. Hence, it will be an unsteady flow.
According to the continuity equation, ρAV =constant, where ρ= density, A= cross-sectional area of flow, V = velocity of flow. In this case, water is treated as an incompressible liquid (ρ = constant) but the nozzle has a gradually decreasing diameter (A decreases). At a given instant, V at the exit of the nozzle will be more than that at it’s entrance. Hence, it will be a non-uniform flow.
