Mechanical Properties of Fluids

A small spherical ball of radius r, falling through a viscous medium of negligible density has terminal velocity 'v'. Another ball of the same mass but of radius 2r, falling through the same viscous medium will have terminal velocity:

1. 4v
2. 2v
3. v4
4. v2

A big drop is formed by coalescing 1000 small identical drops of water. If E1 be the total surface energy of 1000 small drops of water and E2 be the surface energy of single big drop of water, then E1:E2 is x:1 where x= .

In a test experiment on a model aeroplane in wind tunnel, the flow speeds on the upper and lower surfaces of the wings are 70 ms-1 and 65 ms-1 respectively. If the wing area is 2 m2, the lift of the wing is N. (Given density of air =1.2 kg m-3)

A small liquid drop of radius R is divided into 27 identical liquid drops. If the surface tension is T, then the work done in the process will be:

1. 4 R2T
2. 8 R2T
3. 18 R2T
4. 3 R2T

The reading of pressure metre attached with a closed pipe is 4.5 104 N/m2. On opening the valve, water starts flowing and the reading of pressure metre falls to 2.0 104 N/m2. The velocity of water is found to be V m/s. The value of V is .
