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 steel ball is dropped in oil then,
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
the ball attains constant velocity after some time

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.

Now the top is completely sealed with a cap and the orifice at the bottom is opened. Some water comes out from the orifice and the water level in the vessel becomes steady with height of water column being 200mm200mm. Find the fall in height (in mmmm) of water level due to opening of the orifice
(Take atmospheric pressure =1.0×105N/m2= 1.0 \times {10^5}N/{m^2}, density of water =1000kg/m3= 1000kg/{m^3} and g=10m/s2g = 10m/{s^2}. Neglect any effect of surface tension)
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
6mm6mm

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

View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Less than the work done by air friction in the second 100m100m

View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
the same in all the vessels
Option C (the same in all the vessels) is correct because the force exerted by the liquid on the base depends only on the mass of the liquid, which is the same for all vessels.

Two drops of same radius are falling through air with steady speed vv. If the two drops coalesce, what would be the terminal speed
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
None of these
Option D (None of these) is correct because the terminal velocity of the coalesced drop is proportional to (2)2/3v(2)^{2/3}v, which is not equal to any of the other options.

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.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not correct explanation of the assertion
Option B (If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not correct explanation of the assertion) is correct because the assertion is true due to Bernoulli's principle, and the reason is also true but unrelated to the assertion.

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 A: A needle placed carefully on the surface of water may float, whereas a ball of the same material will always sinks.
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
Bigger will grow until they collapse

Blood pressure rises in old age due to arteries becoming narrow. This phenomenon could be explained on the basis of
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Poiseuille's equation
Option C (Poiseuille's equation) is correct because Poiseuille's equation relates blood flow to pressure, radius of arteries, and viscosity, explaining how narrowing arteries increase blood pressure.

Pressure applied to enclosed fluid is:
View answer and explanation
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.

Assertion:- Surface tension of liquid decreases with increase in temperature.
Reason:- Cohesive force between liquid molecules increases with increase in the temperature.
View answer and explanation
