State the form of Bernoulli's theorem appropriate for an unsteady irrotational motion of an inviscid incompressible fluid in the absence of gravity.
Water of density is driven through a tube of length and internal radius by the pressure exerted by a spherical, water-filled balloon of radius attached to one end of the tube. The balloon maintains the pressure of the water entering the tube at in excess of atmospheric pressure, where is a constant. It may be assumed that the water exits the tube at atmospheric pressure. Show that
Solve equation ( ), by multiplying through by or otherwise, to obtain
where and is the initial radius of the balloon. Hence find the time when .
