When an air bubble of radius r rises from the bottom to the surface of a lake, its radius becomes 5r4\frac{{5r}}{4}. Taking the atmospheric pressure to be equal to 10 m height of water column, the depth of the lake would approximately be (ignore the surface tension and the effect of temperature)
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
9.5 m
Option D (9.5 m) is correct because it is calculated by equating the pressure at the bottom and the surface of the lake using Boyle's Law.

Express standard atmospheric pressure in torr.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
760 torr760 \text { torr}

With increase in temperature, the viscosity of
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
gases increases and liquid decreases
Option C (gases increases and liquid decreases) is correct because the viscosity of gases increases with temperature due to increased molecular collisions, while the viscosity of liquids decreases due to weakened intermolecular forces.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
10−2m3s−1{10^{ - 2}}{\mathrm{m}^3}{\mathrm{s}^{ - 1}}
Option A (10−2m3s−1{10^{ - 2}}{\mathrm{m}^3}{\mathrm{s}^{ - 1}}) is correct because it calculates the rate of leakage using Torricelli's law and the area of the hole.

A\mathbf{A} : An iron needle placed carefully on the surface of water may float, whereas a solid ball of same material will always sink

R\mathbf{R} : The buoyancy on an object depends both on the material and shape of object.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
(A) is true, (R) is false
Option C is correct because while the assertion is true due to surface tension, the reason is false. Buoyancy depends on the volume of fluid displaced, not the material or shape directly.

Ice pieces are floating in beaker A containing water also in a beaker B containing miscible liquid of specific gravity 1.2. When ice melts, the level of
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
liquid in B increases
Option D (liquid in B decreases) is correct because when ice melts in a liquid with a specific gravity greater than 1, the volume of the melted ice (water) is less than the volume of the liquid it displaced when it was ice, causing the liquid level to decrease.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Less than the work done by air friction in the second 100m100m
Option C (If Assertion is True but the Reason is False) is correct because machine parts do jam in winter, but the viscosity of lubricants increases, not decreases, at low temperatures.

In the following fig. is shown the flow of liquid through a horizontal pipe. Three tubes A,BA,B and CC are connected to the pipe. The radii of the tubes A,BA,B and CC at the junction are respectively 2cm,1cm2cm,1cm and 2cm2cm. It can be said that the
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Height of the liquid in the tubes AA and CC is the same
Option D (Height of the liquid in the tubes AA and CC is the same) is correct because according to Pascal's law, the pressure at the same horizontal level is the same, and since tubes A and C have the same radius, the liquid height will be the same.

The working of venturimeter is based on
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Bernoulli’s theorem

A piece of wood is floating in water kept in bottle. The bottle is connected to an air pump. Neglect the compressibility of water. When more air is pushed into the bottle from the pump, the piece of wood will float with
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Same part in water
The correct answer is D (Same part in water) because the density of water and the wood remain constant, so the fraction of the wood submerged remains the same regardless of the air pressure in the bottle.

The terminal velocity of a ball in air is vv, where acceleration due to gravity is gg. Now the same ball is taken in a gravity free space where all other conditions are same. The ball is now pushed at a speed vvv v, then
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
The ball will finally stop (Given that density of the ball ρ=2\rho=2 times the density of air σ\sigma )
Option D is correct. In a gravity-free space, the only force acting on the ball is the viscous force due to air. Since the density of the ball is greater than the density of air, the ball will eventually stop due to this viscous drag.

Correct option: C
1.4ms−11.4\mathrm{m}{\mathrm{s}^{ - 1}}
Option C (1.4ms−11.4\mathrm{m}{\mathrm{s}^{ - 1}}) is correct because it is the result of calculating the speed of flow using the given velocity head and the formula relating velocity head to speed.

ρBρB−ρL\frac{{{\rho _B}}}{{{\rho _B} - {\rho _L}}}
Option D (ρBρB−ρL\frac{{{\rho _B}}}{{{\rho _B} - {\rho _L}}}) is correct because the extension of the wire is proportional to the tension, which changes when the brass block is immersed in the liquid due to the buoyant force.
