Important Questions on Thrust and Pressure

EASY

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R

Assertion A: When you squeeze one end of a tube to get toothpaste out from the other end, Pascal’s principle is observed.

Reason R: A change in the pressure applied to an enclosed incompressible fluid is transmitted undiminished to every portion of the fluid and to the walls of its container.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

HARD
Two narrow bores of diameter 5.0 mm and 8.0 mm are joined together to form a U-shaped tube open at both ends. If this U-tube contains water, what is the difference in the level of two limbs of the tube.
[Take surface tension of water T=7.3×10-2 N m-1, angle of contact =0, g=10 m s-2 and density of water=1.0×103 kg m-3

One ton stone is put on a larger piston of diameter 40 cm of a hydraulic lift and a pressure P has to be applied on the smaller piston of diameter 2 cm, to lift the stone. The pressure P, is approximately
HARD

An open-ended U-tube of uniform cross-sectional area contains water (density 103 kg m-3 ). Initially the water level stands at 0.29 m from the bottom in each arm. Kerosene oil (a water-immiscible liquid) of density 800 kg m-3 is added to the left arm until its length is 0.1 m, as shown in the schematic figure below. The ratio h1h2 of the heights of the liquid in the two arms is
