Consider a cylindrical pipe with uniform cross area. If water is flowing in the downward direction then .
By equation of continuity, AV=av where A and a represent cross section areas and V and v represent velocity at A and a respectively.
Since A=a ,Equation of continuity will be
V=v.
But as the water is coming in the downward direction velocity at two different points can't be equal.
Then how is this possible???
