At a given place where acceleration due to gravity is gms−2,g\mathrm{m}{\mathrm{s}^{ - 2}}, a sphere of lead of density dkgm−3d\mathrm{kg}{\mathrm{m}^{ - 3}} is gently released in a column of liquid of density ρkgm−3\mathrm{\rho kg}{\mathrm{m}^{ - 3}}. If d>ρ,d > \mathrm{\rho }, the sphere will
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Fall vertically with an acceleration g(d−ρd)g\left( {\frac{{d - \mathrm{\rho }}}{d}} \right)
Option C (Fall vertically with an acceleration g(d−ρd)g\left( {\frac{{d - \mathrm{\rho }}}{d}} \right)) is correct because the net acceleration is the difference between gravitational acceleration and the acceleration due to buoyancy.

A square wire frame of size L is dipped in a liquid. On taking out a membrane is formed. If the surface tension of liquid is T, then the force acting on a frame will be
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
8T/L8T/L
Option D (16T/L16T/L) is incorrect. The correct answer is 8T/L8T/L because the liquid film has two surfaces, and the force due to surface tension acts along the perimeter of both surfaces of the square frame.

If two ping pong ball are suspended near each other and a fast stream of air is produced within the space of the balls, the balls
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Come nearer to each other
Option A (Come nearer to each other) is correct due to Bernoulli's principle, where faster air between the balls creates lower pressure, causing them to move together.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
mg[1cos⁡θ−1]m\mathrm{g}\left[ {\frac{1}{{\cos \mathrm{\theta }}} - 1} \right]
Option C (mg[1cos⁡θ−1]m\mathrm{g}\left[ {\frac{1}{{\cos \mathrm{\theta }}} - 1} \right]) is correct because the restoring force is related to the change in the center of buoyancy and the resulting torque.

A log of wood of mass 120kg120kg floats in water. The weight that can be put on raft to make it just sink, should be (density of wood =600kg/m3= 600kg/{m^3})
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
80kg80kg
Option A (80kg80kg) is correct because the additional weight needed is the difference between the buoyant force (equal to the weight of water displaced by the entire log) and the weight of the log.

Streamline flow is more likely for liquid with
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
low density and low viscosity
Option B (low density and high viscosity) is correct because low density reduces inertial forces and high viscosity dampens turbulence, both promoting streamline flow.

27 spherical rain drops of the same mass and radius are falling down with a terminal sped 4   cms−1.4\,\,\,cm{s^{ - 1}}. If they coalesce to form one big drop, what will be the terminal speed of bigger drop?

[Neglect the buoyancy of the air] [in   cms−1]\left[ {{\text{in}}\,\,\,cm{s^{ - 1}}} \right]
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
36
Option A (36) is correct because the terminal velocity is proportional to the square of the radius, and when 27 drops coalesce, the radius increases by a factor of 3, leading to a terminal velocity 9 times greater.

Angle of contact of a liquid with a solid depend on
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
orientation of the solid surface in liquid

A liquid is allowed into a tube of truncated cone shape. Identify the correct statement from the following.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
The speed is low at the wider end and high at the narrow end
Option B (The speed is low at the wider end and high at the narrow end) is correct because, according to the equation of continuity, for an incompressible fluid, the product of area and velocity is constant. Thus, where the area is smaller, the velocity must be higher.

Small droplets of liquid are usually more spherical in shape than larger drops of the same liquid because
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
force of surface tension predominates the force of gravity
Option B (force of surface tension predominates the force of gravity) is correct because surface tension effects are more significant for smaller volumes, leading to a spherical shape.

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. As temperature increases, surface tension decreases, leading to a decrease in the capillary rise height.

Two metal spheres are falling through a liquid of density 2×103kg/m32 \times {10^3}kg/{m^3}with the same uniform speed. The material density of sphere 1 and sphere 2 are 8×103kg/m38 \times {10^3}kg/{m^3} and 11×103kg/m311 \times {10^3}kg/{m^3} respectively. The ratio of their radii is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
32\sqrt {\frac{3}{2}}
Option D (32\sqrt {\frac{3}{2}}) is correct because at terminal velocity, the net force is zero, and equating the buoyant force and weight allows us to relate the radii to the densities.

Assertion: The upper surface of the wings of an aeroplane is made convex and the lower surface is made concave.
Reason: The air currents at the top have a smaller velocity and thus less pressure at the bottom than at the top.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If assertion is true, but reason is false
Option C is correct because the Assertion is true (airfoil shape creates lift), but the Reason is false (air velocity is greater at the top, resulting in lower pressure).

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion (A) and other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Time period of oscillation of a liquid drop depends on surface tension (S)(S), if density of the liquid is ρ\rho and radius of the drop is rr, then T=Kρr3S3/2T=K \sqrt{\frac{\rho r^3}{S^{3 / 2}}} is dimensionally correct, where KK is dimensionless.
Reason (R) : Using dimensional analysis we get R.H.S. having different dimension than that of time period.
In the light of above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
(A) is false but (R) is true
Option D is correct. Assertion (A) is dimensionally incorrect, and Reason (R) correctly states that dimensional analysis shows the incorrectness.

The weight of an aeroplane flying in the air is balanced by
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Force due to reaction of gases ejected by the revolving propeller
Option A (Vertical component of the thrust created by air currents striking the lower surface of the wings) is incorrect. Option D (Force due to the pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the wings created by different air speeds on the surfaces) is the primary way an airplane stays aloft.

A narrow capillary tube when dipped in a beaker containing water the rise in 20 cm . If the area of cross-section of the bore is reduced to 1/4th value water will raise to a height of
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
40 cm
Option C (40 cm) is correct because the height of the water rise is inversely proportional to the radius of the capillary tube, and therefore inversely proportional to the square root of the area.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If Assertion is True but the Reason is False
Option B (Less than the work done by air friction in the second 100m100m) is correct because the velocity increases during the first 100m, leading to a smaller average friction force compared to the constant terminal velocity during the second 100m.

An ice block floats in a liquid whose density is less than water. A part of block is outside the liquid. When whole of ice has melted, the liquid level will
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Go down
Option B (Go down) is correct because the density of ice is less than water, and the liquid's density is even less than that of water. Upon melting, the water formed occupies less volume than the ice block displaced in the liquid.
