This question has statement -I and statement-II of the four choices given after the statements. Choose the one that best describes the two statements.
Statement-I: A capillary tube is dipped in a liquid rises to a height hh in it. As the temperature of the liquid is raised, the height hh decreases (if the density of the liquid and the angle of contact remain the same)
Statement-II: Surface tension of a liquid decreases with the rise in its temperature.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Statement I and statement II are true and statement II is correct explanation of statement I
Option A is correct because the height a liquid rises in a capillary tube decreases with increasing temperature due to the decrease in surface tension, as stated in Statement II, which explains Statement I.

A stone of mass 10 kg10 \mathrm{~kg} is lying at the bed of a large lake 10 m10 \mathrm{~m} deep. If the relative density of the stone is 2, the amount of work done by external force to bring slowly it at the surface of the lake will be (neglect all resistive forces)
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
490 J490 \mathrm{~J}
Option A (490 J490 \mathrm{~J}) is correct because it is the work done against the net weight (weight - buoyant force) to lift the stone to the surface.

A metal ball immersed is alcohol weighs W1W_1 at 0∘C0^{\circ} {C} and W2W_2 at 50∘C50^{\circ} {C}. Assuming that the density of the metal is large compared to that of alcohol, then
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
W1<W2W_1 < W_2
Option C (W1>W2W_1>W_2) is correct because as temperature increases, the density of alcohol decreases, leading to a decrease in buoyant force and an apparent increase in weight.

A: During takeoff of an aeroplane, velocity of air above the wing is greater than velocity below the wing
R: Bernoulli's principle is based on law of conservation of energy
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A
Option B is correct because both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason does not explain the assertion. Bernoulli's principle is based on conservation of energy, and the air velocity is higher above the wing during takeoff.

The excess pressure inside an air bubble of radius r\text{r} just below the surface of water is p1.\text{p}_1. The excess pressure inside a drop of the same radius just outside the surface is p2\mathrm{p}_2. If T\mathrm{T} is surface tension, then
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
p1=p2\mathrm{p}_1=\mathrm{p}_2
Option B (p1=p2\mathrm{p}_1=\mathrm{p}_2) is correct because the excess pressure inside an air bubble just below the surface and a drop just outside the surface are both given by 2Tr\frac{{2T}}{{r}}.

A: An ice block with lead short is floating in water. When ice melt completely water level slightly drops.
R: When ice block with less shot is placed in water, volume of displaced water is more then that of the ice block
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A
The correct answer is B because both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason doesn't explain the assertion. The water level drops because the lead shot displaces less water when submerged than the ice block did.

Assertion:- Density of Hollow body is always less then the density of substance of equal mass of the body.
Reason:- Volume of Hollow body is greater than the volume of substance of the body. But mass of Hollow body is equal to mass of substance of the body.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
If both Assertion & Reason are True & the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion
Option A (If both Assertion & Reason are True & the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion) is correct because a hollow body's volume is greater than the volume of the substance it's made of, leading to a lower density for the same mass.

Statement B: The buoyancy of an object depends both on the material and shape of the object.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Statement A is false and statement B is true
Option C (Statement A is false and statement B is true) is correct because a needle floats due to surface tension, not buoyancy, and buoyancy depends on both material and shape.

There is a small bubble at one end and bigger bubble at other end of a rod. What will happen?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B

Correct option: D
Transmitted unchanged to every portion of the fluid and wall of containing vessel
Option D (Transmitted unchanged to every portion of the fluid and wall of containing vessel) is correct because Pascal's law states that pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted equally throughout the fluid.
