Important Questions on Mechanical Properties of Fluids


Consider a water jar of radius R that has water filled up to height H and is kept on a stand of height h (see figure). Through a hole of radius r at its bottom, the water leaks out and the stream of water coming down towards the ground has a shape like a funnel as shown in the figure. If the radius of the cross-section of water stream when it hits the ground is x. Then:





A cylindrical container containing water has a small hole at height of from the bottom and at a depth of from the top surface of the liquid. The maximum horizontal distance travelled by the water before it hits the ground is

Reason (R): The air currents at the top have smaller velocity and thus less pressure at the bottom than at the top.



Consider a water tank as shown in the figure. It's cross-sectional area is . The tank has an opening near the bottom whose cross-section area is . A load of is applied on the water at the top when the height of the water level is above the bottom, the velocity of water coming out the opening is . The value of , to the nearest integer, is ___ .[Take the value of to be ]


A light cylindrical vessel is kept on a horizontal surface. Area of the base is A hole of cross-sectional area is made just at its bottom side. The minimum coefficient of friction necessary to prevent sliding the vessel due to the impact force of the emerging liquid is





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


Two light balls are suspended as shown in figure. When a stream of air passes through the space between them, the distance between the balls will
