An engine pumps water continuously through a hose. Water leaves the hose with a velocity v and m is the mass per unit length of the water jet. What is the rate at which kinetic energy is imparted to water?

Explanation

Let m is the mass per unit length then rate of mass per sec=mxt=mv

Rate of KE=12mvv2=12mv3

Two bodies are in equilibrium when suspended in water from the arms of a balance. The mass of one body is 36 g and its density is 9 g / cm3. If the mass of the other is 48 g, its density in g / cm3 is

Explanation

(c) Apparent weight = V(ρ-σ)g=mρ(ρ-σ)g
where m = mass of the body,
ρ = density of the body
σ = density of water
If two bodies are in equilibrium then their apparent weight must be equal.

m1ρ1(ρ1-σ)=m2ρ2(ρ2-σ)369(9-1)=48ρ2(ρ2-1)

By solving we get ρ2=3.

An inverted bell lying at the bottom of a lake 47.6 m deep has 50 cm3 of air trapped in it. The bell is brought to the surface of the lake. The volume of the trapped air will be (atmospheric pressure = 70 cm of Hg and density of Hg = 13.6 g/cm3

The height of a mercury barometer is 75 cm at sea level and 50 cm at the top of a hill. Ratio of density of mercury to that of air is 104. The height of the hill is

Explanation

(b) Difference of pressure between sea level and the top of hill
P=(h1-h2)×ρHg×g=(75-50)×10-2×ρHg×g         …(i)
and pressure difference due to h meter of air
P=h×ρair×g                                                          …(ii)
By equating (i) and (ii) we get

h×ρair×g=(75-50)×10-2×ρHg×g

h=25×10-2ρHgρair=25×10-2×104=2500 m

Height of the hill = 2.5 km.

Equal masses of water and a liquid of relative density 2 are mixed together, then the mixture has a density of

Explanation

(b) If two liquid of equal masses and different densities are mixed together then density of mixture

ρ=2ρ1ρ2ρ1+ρ2=2×1×21+2=43

A body of density d1 is counterpoised by Mg of weights of density d2 in air of density d. Then the true mass of the body is

Explanation

(d) Let M0=mass of the body in the vacuum.
Apparent weight of the body in air = Apparent weight of standard weights in air
Actual weight – upthrust due to displaced air = Actual weight – upthrust due to displaced air 

M0g-V0dg=Mg-VdgM0g-M0d1dg=Mg-Md2dgM0=M1-dd21-dd1

The value of g at a place decreases by 2%. The barometric height of mercury

Explanation

(a) h=Pρg  h1g (P and ρ are constant)

If value of g decreased by 2% then h will increase by 2%.

A barometer kept in a stationary elevator reads 76 cm. If the elevator starts accelerating up, the reading will be

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

(d) h=Pρg  h1g. If lift moves upward with some acceleration then effective g increases. So the value of h decreases i.e. reading will be less than 76 cm.

A barometer tube reads 76 cm of mercury. If the tube is gradually inclined at an angle of 60o with vertical, keeping the open end immersed in the mercury reservoir, the length of the mercury column will be

Explanation

(b) Thrust on lamina = pressure at centroid × Area

                               =hρg3×A=13Aρgh
