Explanation

(d)

According to Pascal's principle, the pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to every part of the fluid with the walls of the containing vessel too. A common application of this principle is in hydraulic lift, to lift the car. Here, a small amount of force applied to the small-area piston, which will be transformed into a large force at a large-area piston.

A cork is submerged in water by a spring attached to the bottom of a bowl. When the bowl is kept in an elevator moving with acceleration downwards, the length of spring

Explanation

(b)

Upthrust reduces from Vdg to Vdg-a which is responsible for the extension in the spring.

A hollow sphere of volume V is floating on water surface with half immersed in it. What should be the minimum volume of water poured inside the sphere so that the sphere now sinks into the water ?

Explanation

(a) When body (sphere) is half immersed, then
upthrust = weight of sphere 

V2×ρliq×g=V×ρ×g     ρ=ρliq2

When body (sphere) is fully immersed then,

Upthrust = wt. of sphere + wt. of water poured in sphere

V×ρliq×g=V×ρ×g + V'×ρliq×gV×ρliq=V×ρliq2+V'×ρliqV'=V2

A ball whose density is 0.4×103 kg/m3 falls into water from a height of 9 cm . To what depth does the ball sink

Explanation

(b) The velocity of ball before entering the water surface

v=2gh=2g×9

When ball enters into water, due to upthrust of water the velocity of ball decreases (or retarded)

The retardation, a=apparent weightmass of ball

=V(ρ-σ)g=ρ-σρg=0.4-10.4×g=-32g

If h be the depth upto which ball sink, then,

0-v2=2×-32g×h2g×9=3gh h=6 cm

 

A boat carrying steel balls is floating on the surface of water in a tank. If the balls are thrown into the tank one by one, how will it affect the level of water ?

Explanation

(c)

ρball × Vball × g = ρwater × Vdisplaced × gAs ρball  >  ρwaterVdisplaced > VballSo water level falls

Two pieces of metal when immersed in a liquid have equal upthrust on them; then

Explanation

(c) Since, upthrust (F) =Vσg   i.e. F∝V

Construction of submarines is based on 

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

Submarine has a large volume ,so buoyant force  is more than the weight. Hence it floats on water surface. When it has to go inside water, it is filled with water so that weight is more than the buoyant force acting on submarine. So it sinks.

In which one of the following cases will the liquid flow in a pipe be most streamlined  ?

Explanation

(b) For streamline flow, Reynold's number NRη should be less. For less value of NR, radius and density should be small and viscosity should be high.
