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
A triangular lamina of area A and height h is immersed in a liquid of density ρ in a vertical plane with its base on the surface of the liquid. The thrust on the lamina is:
1. 12Aρgh
2. 13Aρgh
3. 16Aρgh
4. 23Aρgh
If two liquids of same masses but densities ρ1 and ρ2 respectively are mixed, then density of mixture is given by
1. ρ=ρ1+ρ22
2. ρ=ρ1+ρ22ρ1ρ2
3. ρ=2ρ1ρ2ρ1+ρ2
4. ρ=ρ1ρ2ρ1+ρ2
The density ρ of water of bulk modulus B at a depth y in the ocean is related to the density at surface ρ0 by the relation
1. ρ=ρ0[1-ρ0gyB]
2. ρ=ρ0[1+ρ0gyB]
3. ρ=ρ0[1+Bρ0gy]
4. ρ=ρ0[1-Bρ0gy]
With rise in temperature, density of a given body changes according to one of the following relations
(a) ρ=ρ0[1+γ dθ] (b) ρ=ρ0[1-γ dθ]
(c) ρ=ρ0γ dθ (d) ρ=ρ0/γ dθ
For the figures given below, the correct observation is:
1. | pressure at the bottom of the tank (a) is greater than at the bottom of the tank (b). |
2. | pressure at the bottom of the tank (a) is lesser than at the bottom of (b). |
3. | pressure depends upon the shape of the container. |
4. | pressure at the bottom of (a) and (b) are the same. |
A given shaped glass tube having uniform cross section is filled with water and is mounted on a rotatable shaft as shown in figure. If the tube is rotated with a constant angular velocity ω then
1. Water levels in both sections A and B go up
2. Water level in Section A goes up and that in B comes down
3. Water level in Section A comes down and that in B it goes up
4. Water levels remains same in both sections
