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

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).

A air bubble of radius 1 cm in water has an upward acceleration of 9.8 cm s2. The density of water is 1 gm cm3 and water offers negligible drag force on the bubble. The mass of the bubble is g = 980 cm/s2.

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

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
