Important Questions on Fluid Mechanics
A sealed tank containing a liquid of density moves with a horizontal acceleration as shown in the figure. The difference in pressure between the points and is-

The -tube shown has a uniform cross-section. A liquid is filled in the two arms up to heights and and then the liquid is allowed to move. Neglect viscosity and surface tension. When the levels equalize in the two arms, the liquid will-

Water coming out of the mouth of a tap and falling vertically in streamline flow forms a tapering column, i.e., the area of cross-section of the liquid column decreases as it moves down. Which of the following is the most accurate explanation for this:-

There are two identical small holes on the opposite sides of a tank containing a liquid. The tank is open at the top. The difference in height between the two holes is h. As the liquid comes out of the two holes, the tank will experience a net horizontal force proportional to-


A homogeneous solid cylinder of length cross-sectional area is immersed such that it floats with its axis vertical at the liquid-liquid interface with length in the denser liquid as shown in the figure. The lower density liquid is open to atmosphere having pressure Then, density of solid is given by :-

A mercury manometer is connected as shown in the figure. The difference in height is : (symbols have usual meaning).

An open pan P filled with water (density ) is placed on a vertical rod, maintaining equilibrium. A block of density is placed on one side of the pan as shown. Water depth is more than height of the block.
