Two bodies are in equilibrium when suspended in water from the arms of a balance. The mass of one body is 36 g and its density is 9 g/cm3. If the mass of the other is 48 g, its density in (g/cm3) will be:
1. 43
2. 32
3. 3
4. 5
An inverted bell lying at the bottom of a lake 47.6 m deep has 50 cm3 of air trapped in it. The bell is brought to the surface of the lake. The volume of the trapped air will be (atmospheric pressure = 70 cm of Hg and density of Hg = 13.6 g/cm3)
1. 350 cm3
2. 300 cm3
3. 250 cm3
4. 22 cm3
A siphon in use is demonstrated in the following figure. The density of the liquid flowing in siphon is 1.5 gm/cc. The pressure difference between the point P and S will be
1. 105 N/m
2. 2×105 N/m
3. Zero
4. Infinity
The height of a mercury barometer is 75 cm at sea level and 50 cm at the top of a hill. Ratio of density of mercury to that of air is 104. The height of the hill is
1. 250 m
2. 2.5 km
3. 1.25 km
4. 750 m
Equal masses of water and a liquid of relative density 2 are mixed together, then the mixture has a density of:
1. 23
2. 43
3. 32
4. 3
A body of density d1 is counterpoised by Mg of weights of density d2 in air of density d. Then the true mass of the body is
1. M
2. M(1-dd2)
3. M(1-dd1)
4. M(1-d/d2)(1-d/d1)
The value of g at a place decreases by 2%. The barometric height of mercury
1. Increases by 2%
2. Decreases by 2%
3. Remains unchanged
4. Sometimes increases and sometimes decreases
A barometer kept in a stationary elevator reads 76 cm. If the elevator starts accelerating up, the reading will be:
1. Zero
2. Equal to 76 cm
3. More than 76 cm
4. Less than 76 cm
A closed rectangular tank is completely filled with water and is accelerated horizontally with an acceleration a towards right. Pressure is (i) maximum at, and (ii) minimum at
1. (i) B (ii) D
2. (i) C (ii) D
3. (i) B (ii) C
4. (i) B (ii) A
A vertical U-tube of uniform inner cross-section contains mercury in both its arms. A glycerin (density=1.3 g/cm3) column of length 10 cm is introduced into one of its arms. Oil of density 0.8 g/cm3 is poured into the other arm until the upper surfaces of the oil and glycerin are at the same horizontal level. The length of the oil column is:
(density of mercury =13.6 g/cm3)
1. 10.4 cm
2. 8.2 cm
3. 7.2 cm
4. 9.6 cm
