Important Questions on Fluid Mechanics

There is a circular tube in a vertical plane. Two liquids that do not mix and of densities and are filled in the tube. Each liquid subtends angle at the centre. Radius joining their interface makes an angle with vertical. Ratio is:




An open glass tube is immersed in mercury in such a way that a length of extends above the mercury level. The open-end of the tube is then closed and sealed and the tube is raised vertically up by an additional. What will be length of the air column above mercury in the tube now? (Atmospheric pressure)

A body floats in a liquid contained in a beaker. If the whole system (shown in figure) falls under gravity then the up-thrust on the body is-

Water is filled up to a height in a beaker of radius as shown in the figure. The density of water is , the surface tension of water is and the atmospheric pressure is . Consider a vertical section of the water column through a diameter of the beaker. The force on water on one side of this section by water on the other side of this section has magnitude
