Fun demos – can you explain the effect?
Use Bernoulli’s equation … P1 + ρgh1 + ½ρv12 = P2 + ρgh2 + ½ρv22 [1] A water pipe of cross-section 0.002 m2 carries water into the basement of a house at a speed of 1.0 m/s and pressure 180 kPa. If the pipe tapers to 0.001 m2 and rises to the ground floor 4m above the basement pipe, calculate the water pressure on the ground floor. Use Bernoulli’s equation … P1 + ρgh1 + ½ρv12 = P2 + ρgh2 + ½ρv22 180000 + ½(1000)(2)2 = P2 +(1000)(9.8)(4) + ½(1000)(1)2 P2 = 142 300 pascals v2 = 2m/s

Why curveballs curve Bernoulli's equation can be used to explain why curveballs curve. Let's say the ball is thrown so it spins. As air flows over the ball, the seams of the ball cause the air to slow down a little on one side and speed up a little on the other. The side where the air speed is higher has lower pressure, so the ball is deflected toward that side. To throw a curveball, the rotation of the ball should be around a vertical axis. It's a little more complicated than that, actually. Although the picture here shows nice streamline flow as the air moves left relative to the ball, in reality there is some turbulence. The air does exert a force down on the ball in the figure above, so the ball must exert an upward force on the air. This causes air that travels below the ball in the picture to move up and fill the space left by the ball as it moves by, which reduces drag on the ball.
[4] Water is pumped from a pipeline 2 m above the ground to a water tower 15 m above the ground.

② ① Bernoulli's equation + Torricelli's law: does the speed of the fluid change if we change the area of the hole but not the height?
The velocity would stay the same no matter whether the area is slightly increased or decreased provided the hole is at the same height and is quantified by V= (2gh)0.5 And at the same time continuity principle isn't violated. Where you've gone wrong is comparing the same thing. It should be like .. Case 1 : Area increased Velocity stays the same, but the flow rate increases. Area at exit point (A2) increased and velocity (V2) stays the same. Similarly cross-sectional area of the tank (A1) is the same but the velocity with which the water moves down (V1) increases emptying the tank quickly as the flow rate is high. So (A1V1)=(A2V2) ------ since if A2 raises then V1 raises. Case 2 : Area decreased Velocity stays the same, but the flow rate decreases. Area at exit point (A2) decreased and velocity (V2) stays the same. Similarly cross-sectional area of the tank (A1) is the same but the velocity with which the water moves down (V1) decreases emptying the tank comparatively slowly as the flow rate is low. So (A1V1)=(A2V2) ------ since if A2 decrease then V1 too decreases. https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/285059/bernoullis-equation-torricellis-law-does-the-speed-of-the-fluid-change-if-w
