Water rises to a height h in capillary tube. If the length of capillary tube above the surface of water is made less than h, then

  1. water rises upto a point a little below the top and stays there.
  2. water does not rise at all.
  3. water rises upto the tip of capillary tube and then starts overflowing like a fountain.
  4. water rises upto the top of capillary tube and stays there without overflowing.

Answer

(4) water rises upto the top of capillary tube and stays there without overflowing.

Solution

Capillary rise: h = 2S r g = 2SR g, where R = r is the radius of the meniscus.

hR = 2S g = constant

When the tube length h' < h, water reaches the top and the meniscus becomes flatter (larger radius R') so that h'R' = hR.

Water rises up to the top and stays there; it does not overflow (an overflow would give a perpetual-motion machine).

Answer: (4)

A wind with speed 40 m/s blows parallel to the roof of a house. The area of the roof is 250 m2. Assuming that the pressure inside the house is atmospheric pressure, the force exerted by the wind on the roof and the direction of the force will be ( air = 1.2 kg/m3)

A certain number of spherical drops of a liquid of radius r coalesce to form a single drop of radius R and volume V. If T is the surface tension of the liquid, then

  1. energy = 4VT ( 1r - 1R ) is released.
  2. energy = 3VT ( 1r + 1R ) is absorbed.
  3. energy = 3VT ( 1r - 1R ) is released.
  4. energy is neither released nor absorbed.

A fluid is in streamline flow across a horizontal pipe of variable area of cross section. For this which of the following statements is correct?

  1. The velocity is maximum at the narrowest part of the pipe and pressure is maximum at the widest part of the pipe.
  2. Velocity and pressure both are maximum at the narrowest part of the pipe.
  3. Velocity and pressure both are maximum at the widest part of the pipe.
  4. The velocity is minimum at the narrowest part of the pipe and the pressure is minimum at the widest part of the pipe.
