Important Questions on Properties of Solid and Liquid

If two glass plates have water between them and are separated by very small distance (see figure), it is very difficult to pull them apart. It is because the water in between forms cylindrical surface on the side that gives rise to lower pressure in the water in comparison to atmosphere. If the radius of the cylindrical surface is R and surface tension of water is T then the pressure in water between the plates is lower by:


(gravitational acceleration)

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) :


In the diagram shown, the difference in the two tubes of the manometer is , the cross-section of the tube at and is and respectively. The rate at which water flows through the tube is
