A container, with a liquid in it, is kept on a rough platform which is accelerating horizontally to the right with a constant acceleration . The coefficient of friction between the container and platform is . Regarding the angle , which of the following is always correct?


Important Questions on Fluid Mechanics







A cylindrical block of wood (density = ), of base area and height , floats in a liquid of density . The block is depressed slightly and then released. The time period of the resulting oscillations of the block would be equal to that of a simple pendulum of length (nearly) :



[Take surface tension of water , angle of contact and density of water

[Take, density of water ]

Two liquids of densities and are filled up behind a square wall of side as shown in figure. Each liquid has a height of The ratio of the forces due to these liquids exerted on upper part to that at the lower part is (Assume that the liquids are not mixing):





An open-ended U-tube of uniform cross-sectional area contains water (density ). Initially the water level stands at from the bottom in each arm. Kerosene oil (a water-immiscible liquid) of density is added to the left arm until its length is , as shown in the schematic figure below. The ratio of the heights of the liquid in the two arms is



A cylindrical vessel containing a liquid is rotated about its axis so that the liquid rises at its sides as shown in the figure. The radius of vessel is and the angular speed of rotation is . The difference in the height, of liquid at the Centre of vessel and at the sides of the vessel will be :
