Which of the following will vanish for a fluid in a space where there is no gravity?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Both (1) and (2)

A plane of mass 3250 g3250 {~g} is in level flight at a constant speed and each wing has an area of 25 m225 {~m}^2. During flight the speed of the air is 216 kmh−1216 \,{kmh}^{-1} over the lower wing surface and 252 kmh−1252 \,{kmh}^{-1} over the upper wing surface of each wing of aeroplane. Take density of air =1 kgm−3=1 \,{kgm}^{-3} and g=10 ms−2g=10 {~ms}^{-2}.
If a plane is in level flight with a speed of 360 kmh−1360 \,{kmh}^{-1} then the fractional increase in the speed of the air on the upper surface of the wing relative to the lower surface is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
6.5%6.5 \%
Option C (6.5%6.5 \%) is correct because it is the fractional increase in air speed on the upper surface, calculated using Bernoulli's principle and the lift equation.

Assertion: Water drops take spherical shape when falling freely.
Reason: Water has minimum surface tension among all liquids.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
If both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
Option D is correct. Water drops are actually oval-shaped due to air resistance, and water does not have the minimum surface tension among all liquids.

Assertion:- Soil particles inside water are freely placed but they stick together when taken out of water.
Reason:- Thin filens formed creates pressure difference.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
If both Assertion & Reason are True & the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion
Option A is correct because the assertion is true, and the reason correctly explains why soil particles stick together when taken out of water due to the pressure difference created by thin films of water.

If two soap bubbles of different radii are in communication with each other, then
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Air flows from the smaller bubble into the larger one and the larger one grows at the expense of the smaller one
Option C (Air flows from the smaller bubble into the larger one and the larger one grows at the expense of the smaller one) is correct because the smaller bubble has higher pressure, causing air to flow into the larger bubble.

Consider the following two statement A\mathrm{A} and B\mathrm{B}, and identify the correct choice in the given answers

A : The excess pressure inside a small liquid drop is more than that of a big drop.

B : As the aeroplane moves fast on the runway for take off the pressure is more on the upper surface of its wings and less on the bottom surface of the wings.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
A is true but B is false
Option B is correct. Excess pressure inside a small liquid drop is indeed more than that of a big drop, but the pressure on the upper surface of an airplane wing is less than the bottom surface.

Assertion: The velocity of the rain drops increases only upto a limit as they start their journey towards the surface of the earth.
Reason: The rain drops attain terminal velocity in the due course of time, while falling through air.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion
Option A (If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion) is correct because raindrops reach a terminal velocity due to air resistance, which limits their acceleration.

There is a hole of area AA at the bottom of a cylindrical vessel. Water is filled upto a height hh and water flows out in tt sec. If water is filled to a height 4h4h, then it will flow out in time
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
2t2t
Option A (2t2t) is correct because the time taken to empty the vessel is proportional to the square root of the height.

A spherical ball of radius 3.0×10−4 m3.0 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m} and density 104 kg/m310^4 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^3 falls freely under gravity through a distance ' hh ' before entering a tank of water. If after entering the water the velocity of the ball does not change, hh is (Viscosity of water is 10−5Nsm2,g=10 m/s210^{-5} \frac{\mathrm{Ns}}{\mathrm{m}^2},\quad g=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2)
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
1620 m1620 \mathrm{~m}
Option B (1620 m1620 \mathrm{~m}) is correct because it is derived by equating the terminal velocity in water with the velocity gained during free fall and solving for h.

A circular frame of wire having radius rr is floating on the surface of a liquid having surface tension σ\sigma. The additional force other than its weight, required to pull out the frame from the liquid is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
σ⋅4πr\sigma \cdot 4 \pi r
Option C (σ⋅4πr\sigma \cdot 4 \pi r) is correct because the force due to surface tension acts along the inner and outer circumference of the ring.

r1r2r2−r1\frac{r_1 r_2}{r_2-r_1}
Option B (r1r2r2−r1\frac{r_1 r_2}{r_2-r_1}) is correct because the radius of the common surface is determined by balancing the pressure difference across the curved surface.

An application of Bernoulli’s equation for fluid flow is found in
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Dynamic lift of an aeroplane
Option A is correct because the dynamic lift of an airplane is a direct application of Bernoulli's equation, where faster airflow over the wing creates lower pressure, resulting in lift.

An object of density d0d_0 kept deep inside water of density dωd_\omega. Its is then released from rest. During the time it moves a vertical distance hh with in the water.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
The gravitational potential energy of the water in vessel decreases of d0<dω\mathrm{d}_0 < \mathrm{d}_\omega.
Option D (The gravitational potential energy of the water in vessel decreases of d0<dωd_0 < d_\omega) is correct because when the object rises, water falls, decreasing the water's GPE if the object is less dense.

Bernoulli's equation for steady, non-viscous, incompressible flow expresses the;
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D

Statement-1: When a soda water bottle falls freely from a height hh, the gas bubble rises in water from the bottom.
Statement-2: Air is lighter than liquid.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True
Option D (Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True) is correct because the gas bubble rises due to buoyancy, not because of free fall, and air is indeed lighter than water.

The work done to blow a bubble is W. The extra work to be done to double it radius is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
3 W
Option C (3 W) is correct because the work done is proportional to the surface area, and doubling the radius quadruples the area, requiring 4W total work, so the extra work is 3W.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
9.48 cm9.48 \mathrm{~cm}
Option A (9.48 cm9.48 \mathrm{~cm}) is correct because it is calculated by applying Boyle's law and considering the pressure due to depth and surface tension.

A boat carrying a number of large stones is floating in a water tank. What would happen to the water level, if a few stones are unloaded into water?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Falls
Option B (Falls) is correct because the stones displace their weight in water when in the boat, but only their volume when submerged, which is less.
