What will be the nature of flow of water from a circular tap, when its flow rate increased from 0.18 L min-1 to 0.48 L min-1? The radius of the tap and viscosity of water are 0.5 cm and 10-3 Pa s, respectively. (Density of water : 103 kg m-3)

The approximate depth of an ocean is 2700 m . The compressibility of water is 45.4×10-11 Pa-1 and density of water is 103  kg/m 3. What fractional compression of water will be obtained at the bottom of the ocean ?

Consider the wall of a dam to be straight with height H and length L. It holds a lake of water of height hh<H on one side. Let the density of water be ρw Denote the torque about the axis along the bottom length of the wall by τ1. Denote also a similar torque due to the water up to height h2 and wall length L2 by τ2. Then, τ1τ2 (ignore atmospheric pressure) is

Consider the configuration of a stationary water tank of cross-section area A0 and a small bucket as shown in figure below;

Question Image

What should be the speed v of the bucket, so that the water leaking out of a hole of cross-section area A (as shown) from the water tank does not fall outside the bucket?

(Take, h=5 m, H=5 m, g=10 m s-2, A=5 cm2 and A0=500 cm2).

Air (density ρ ) is being blown on a soap film (surface tension T ) by a pipe of radius R with its opening right next to the film. The film is deformed and a bubble detaches from the film when the shape of the deformed surface is a hemisphere. Given that the dynamic pressure on the film due to the air blown at speed v is 12ρv2, the speed at which the bubble formed is

Consider the following statements:

1. Taking into account, the fact that any object which floats must have an average density less than that of water during World War 1, a number of cargo vessels were made of concrete.

2. Concrete cargo vessels were filled with air.

3. A ship floats higher in the water on a high-pressure day than on a low-pressure day.

4. Floating of the ship in the water is not possible because of the buoyancy force which is present due to pressure difference.

Which of the statements given above are correct?
