A cylinder drum, open at the top, contains 15 L of water. It drains out through a small opening at the bottom. 5 L of water comes out in time t1{t_1}, the next 5 L in further time t2{t_2} and the last 5 L in further time t3{t_3}. Then
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
t1<t2<t3{t_1} < {t_2} < {t_3}

Given below are two statements:

Statement-I: When a capillary tube is dipped into a liquid, the liquid neither rises nor falls in the capillary. The contact angle may be 0∘.0^{\circ}.

Statement-II: The contact angle between a solid and a liquid is a property of the material of the solid and liquid as well.

In the light of above statement, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Statement-I is false but Statement-II is true
Option A is correct. Statement-I is false because a liquid can rise or fall depending on the contact angle. Statement-II is true because the contact angle depends on the solid and liquid materials.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
No change
Option A (No change) is correct because the volume of water displaced by the block is the same regardless of its orientation, ensuring the water level remains constant.
