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 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 |
2. | The maximum force on the base will be for the vessel |
3. | The maximum force on the base will be for the vessel |
4. | Force on the base will be equal for all the vessels. |
If pressure at half the depth of a lake is equal to 2/3rd the pressure at the bottom of the lake, then the depth of the lake is:
1. | 10 m | 2. | 20 m |
3. | 60 m | 4. | 30 m |
A diver is m below the surface of the water. The approximate pressure experienced by the diver is:
1. Pa
2. Pa
3. Pa
4. Pa
The area of cross-section of the wider tube shown in the figure is If a mass of is placed on the massless piston, then the difference in heights of the levels of water in the two tubes will be:
1. | 2. | ||
3. | 4. |
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 at sea level and at the top of a hill. The ratio of the density of mercury to that of air is The height of the hill is:
1. | 2. | ||
3. | 4. |
A siphon in use is demonstrated in the following figure. The density of the liquid flowing in the 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 |
A vertical -tube of uniform inner cross-section contains mercury in both its arms. A glycerin (density g/cm3) column of length cm is introduced into one of its arms. Oil of density 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 g/cm3)
1. cm
2. cm
3. cm
4. cm
