MHT CET 2026 Physics question

In case of liquid, if Reynold's number '' is 1450, then the flow of liquid will

(A)be streamline.
(B)be turbulent.
(C)change from streamline to turbulent flow.
(D)be sometimes turbulent and sometimes streamline.Correct

Answer: (D)

Solution

For flow of a liquid in a pipe, the Reynolds number decides the nature of flow: for the flow is streamline (laminar); for the flow is turbulent; and for the flow is unstable, i.e. it may switch between the two types. Since lies in the
