4. 2.5 g

A small hole of area of cross-section 2 mm2 is present near the bottom of a fully filled open tank of height 2 m. Taking g = 10 m/s2, the rate of flow of water through the open hole would be nearly :

2. 2.23 10-6 m3/s
3. 6.4 10-6 m3/s
4. 12.6 10-6 m3/s

A soap bubble, having radius of 1 mm, is blown from a detergent solution having a surface tension of 2.5 10-2 N/m. The pressure inside the bubble equals the pressure at a point Z0 below the free surface of water in a container. Taking g = 10 m/s2, density of water = 103 kg/m3, the value of Z0 is :

1. 1 cm
2. 10 cm
3. 100 cm
4. 0.5 cm

A small sphere of radius 'r' falls from rest in a viscous liquid. As a result, heat is produced due to viscous force. The rate of production of heat when the sphere attains its terminal velocity, is proportional to

1. r3
2. r2
3. r5
4. r4

A U tube with both ends open to the atmosphere, is partially filled with water. Oil, which is immiscible with water, is poured into one side until it stands at a distance of 10 mm above the water level on the other side. Meanwhile the water rises by 65 mm from its original level (see diagram). The density of the oil is [figure]

1. 425 kg m-3
2. 800 kg m-3
3. 928 kg m-3
4. 650 kg m-3

Two non-mixing liquids of densities and n (n > 1) are put in a container. The height of each liquid is h. A solid cylinder of length L and density d is put in this container. The cylinder floats with its axis vertical and length pL (p < 1) in the denser liquid. The density d is equal to

1. \2 + (n - 1)p\
2. \1 + (n - 1)p\
3. \1 + (n + 1)p\
4. \2 + (n + 1)p\

A rectangular film of liquid is extended from (4 cm 2 cm) to (5 cm 4 cm). If the work done is 3 10-4 J, the value of the surface tension of the liquid is

1. 0.250 N m-1
2. 0.125 N m-1
3. 0.2 N m-1
4. 8.0 N m-1

Three liquids of densities 1, 2 and 3 (with 1 > 2 > 3), having the same value of surface tension T, rise to the same height in three identical capillaries. The angles of contact 1, 2 and 3 obey

1. 2 > 1 > 2 > 3 0
2. 0 1 < 2 < 3 < 2
3. 2 < 1 < 2 < 3 <
4. > 1 > 2 > 3 > 2

The heart of a man pumps 5 litres of blood through the arteries per minute at a pressure of 150 mm of mercury. If the density of mercury be 13.6 103 kg/m3 and g = 10 m/s2 then the power (in watt) is

1. 3.0
2. 1.50
3. 1.70
4. 2.35

The cylindrical tube of a spray pump has radius R, one end of which has n fine holes, each of radius r. If the speed of the liquid in the tube is V, the speed of the ejection of the liquid through the holes is

2. V2Rnr
3. VR2n2r2
4. VR2nr2
