The answer is "option (2)"option (2)

Explanation:

Apply the following equation (derived from Bernouilli's Equation)

p_x-p_y=rho/2(v_y^2-v_x^2)pxpy=ρ2(v2yv2x)

Deltap=rho/2(v_y^2-v_x^2)

The density of water is rho=1000kgm^-3

The difference in pressure is

Deltap=rhogh=1000*10*0.0051=51Pa

The speed at x is v_x=0.02ms^-1

Therefore,

v_y^2-v_x^2=51*2/1000=0.102

So,

v_y^2=0.102+0.02^2=0.1024

v_y=sqrt(0.1024)=0.32ms^-1

The speed at y is =32cms^-1

The answer is "option (2)"
