A siphon is used to drain water from a large tank as shown in the figure below. Assume that the level of water is maintained constant. Ignore frictional effect due to viscosity and losses at entry,and exit. At the exit of the siphon, the velocity of water is

1. $\sqrt{2g(Z_Q-Z_R)} \\$
2. $\sqrt{2g(Z_P-Z_R)} \\$
3. $\sqrt{2g(Z_O-Z_R)} \\$
4. $\sqrt{2gZ_Q}$

Water flows through two different pipes $A$ and $B$ of the same circular cross-section but at different flow rates. The length of pipe $A$ is $1.0 \: m$ and that of pipe $B$ is $2.0 \: m$. The flow in both the pipes is laminar and fully developed ... head loss across the length of the pipes is same, the ratio of volume flow rates $Q_B/Q_A$ is __________ (round off to two decimal places).
