A manometer connected to a closed tap reads 3.5×105 N/m2. When the valve is opened, the reading of manometer falls to 3.0×105 N/m2 , then velocity of flow of water is

Explanation

(b) Bernoulli's theorem for unit mass of liquid

Pρ+12v2= constant

As the liquid starts flowing, it pressure energy decreases 

12v2=P1-P2ρ12v2=3.5×10-5-3×105103=2×0.5×105103v2=100v=10 m/s

A large tank filled with water to a height ‘h’ is to be emptied through a small hole at the bottom. The ratio of time taken for the level of water to fall from h to h2 and from h2 to zero is

Explanation

(c)

When the tank is full upto height h, velocity at the hole, v=2ghLet the rate of decrease height of water=-dhdtSo, using continuity equation, -Adhdt=A0v=A02gh0tdt=-H1H2AA0dh2ght=-AA0×22ghH1H2=AA0×2gH1-H2

Time taken for the level to fall from H to H'

t1=AA02gH-H'

According to problem-the time taken for the level to fall from h to h2

t=AA02gh-h2

and similarly time taken for the level to fall from h2 to zero

t2=AA02gh2-0

t1t2=1-1212-0=2-1

A cylinder of height 20 m is completely filled with water. The velocity of efflux of water (in m/s) through a small hole on the side wall of the cylinder near its bottom is

(b) v=2gh=2×10×20=20 m/s

There is a hole in the bottom of tank having water. If total pressure at bottom is 3 atm (1 atm=105 N/m2) then the velocity of water flowing from hole is

Explanation

(a) Pressure at the bottom of tank P=hρg=3×105Nm2 

Pressure due to lipid column PI=3×105-1×105=2×105

and velocity of water v=2gh

v=2PIρ=2×2×105103=400 m/s

A cylindrical tank has a hole of 1 cm2 in its bottom. If the water is allowed to flow into the tank from a tube above it at the rate of 70 cm3/sec. then the maximum height up to which water can rise in the tank is

Explanation

(a) The height of water in the tank becomes maximum when the volume of water flowing into the tank per second becomes equal to the volume flowing out per second.
Volume of water flowing out per second

=Av=A2gh                             ....(i) 

Volume of water flowing in per second

=70 cm3/sec                             .....(ii)

From (i) and (ii) we get

A2gh=701×2gh=701×2×980×h=70h=49001960=2.5 cm

A square plate of 0.1 m side moves parallel to a second plate with a velocity of 0.1 m/s, both plates being immersed in water. If the viscous force is 0.002 N and the coefficient of viscosity is 0.01 poise, distance between the plates in m is

(b) F=6πηrv

A small sphere of mass m is dropped from a great height. After it has fallen 100 m, it has attained its terminal velocity and continues to fall at that speed. The work done by air friction against the sphere during the first 100 m of fall is

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

(b) In the first 100 m body starts from rest and its velocity goes on increasing and after 100 m it acquire maximum velocity (terminal velocity). Further, air friction i.e. viscous force which is proportional to velocity is low in the beginning and maximum at v=vT.
Hence work done against air friction in the first 100 m is less than the work done in next 100 m.

Two drops of the same radius are falling through air with a steady velocity of 5 cm per sec. If the two drops coalesce, the terminal velocity would be

Explanation

(c) If two drops of same radius r coalesce then radius of new drop is given by R

43πR3=43πr3+43πr3R3=2r3R=21/3r

If drop of radius r is falling in viscous medium then it acquire a critical velocity v and vr2

v2v1=Rr2=21/3r2v2=22/3×v1=22/3×5=5×41/3 cm/s

The rate of steady volume flow of water through a capillary tube of length 'l' and radius 'r' under a pressure difference of P is V. This tube is connected with another tube of the same length but half the radius in series. Then the rate of steady volume flow through them is (The pressure difference across the combination is P)

Explanation

(b) Rate of flow of liquid V=PR

where liquid resistance R=8ηlπr4

For another liquid resistance

R'=8ηlπr24=8ηlπr4.16=16R

For the series combination

VNew=PR+R'=PR+16R=P17R=V17
