A liquid is poured into three vessels of the same base area and equal heights as shown in the figure, then:
1. | The maximum force on the base will be for the vessel C. |
2. | The maximum force on the base will be for the vessel B. |
3. | The maximum force on the base will be for the vessel A. |
4. | Force on the base will be equal for all the vessels. |
The area of cross-section of the wider tube shown in the figure is 800 cm2. If a mass of 12 kg is placed on the massless piston, then the difference in heights h of the levels of water in the two tubes will be:
1. | 10 cm | 2. | 6 cm |
3. | 15 cm | 4. | 2 cm |
The value of g at a place decreases by 2%. Then, the barometric height of mercury:
1. | increases by 2%. | 2. | decreases by 2%. |
3. | remains unchanged. | 4. | sometimes increases and sometimes decreases. |
The height of a mercury barometer is 75 cm at sea level and 50 cm at the top of a hill. The ratio of the 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 |
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 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
1. | PP=PQ=PR=PS | 2. | PP>PQ>PR>PS |
3. | PP<PQ<PR<PS | 4. | The data is insufficient to predict the relation |

Three liquids of densities d, 2d and 3d are mixed in equal proportions of weights. The relative density of the mixture is:
1. | 11d7 | 2. | 18d11 |
3. | 13d9 | 4. | 23d18 |
