An airplane of a total wing area of \(120\) is in a level flight at some height. If the pressure difference between the upper and lower surface is \(2.5\) kPa, then the mass of the airplane is: (Take \(g=10\) )
1. | \(2\times10^3\) kg | 2. | \(3\times10^4\) kg |
3. | \(5\times10^4\) kg | 4. | \(7\times10^4\) kg |
For the figures given below, the correct observation is:
1. | pressure at the bottom of the tank (a) is greater than at the bottom of the tank (b). |
2. | pressure at the bottom of the tank (a) is lesser than at the bottom of (b). |
3. | pressure depends upon the shape of the container. |
4. | pressure at the bottom of (a) and (b) are the same. |
A liquid is poured into three vessels of the same base area and equal heights as shown in the figure, then:
1. | Maximum force on the base will be for vessel C |
2. | Maximum force on the base will be for vessel B |
3. | Maximum force on the base will be for vessel A |
4. | Force on the base will be equal for all the vessels |
If pressure at half the depth of a lake is equal to 2/3rd the pressure at the bottom of the lake, then the depth of the lake is:
1. | 10 m | 2. | 20 m |
3. | 60 m | 4. | 30 m |
A diver is \(10\) m below the surface of the water. The approximate pressure experienced by the diver is:
1. \(10^5\) Pa
2. \(2\times10^5\) Pa
3. \(3\times10^5\) Pa
4. \(4\times 10^5\) Pa
The area of cross-section of the wider tube shown in the figure is If a mass of 12 kg is placed on the massless piston, then the difference in heights h of the levels of water in the two tubes will be:
1. | 10 cm | 2. | 6 cm |
3. | 15 cm | 4. | 2 cm |
The value of g at a place decreases by 2%. Then, the barometric height of mercury:
1. | increases by 2%. | 2. | decreases by 2%. |
3. | remains unchanged. | 4. | sometimes increases and sometimes decreases. |
The height of a mercury barometer is 75 cm at sea level and 50 cm at the top of a hill. The ratio of density of mercury to that of air is . The height of the hill is:
1. | 250 m | 2. | 2.5 km |
3. | 1.25 km | 4. | 750 m |
A siphon in use is demonstrated in the following figure. The density of the liquid flowing in the siphon is 1.5 gm/cc. The pressure difference between the point P and S will be:
1. | 105 N / m | 2. | 2 × 105 N / m |
3. | Zero | 4. | Infinity |
A vertical U-tube of uniform inner cross section, contains mercury in both its arms. A glycerin (density = 1.3 g/) column of length 10 cm is introduced into one of its arms. Oil of density 0.8 gm/ is poured into the other arm until the upper surfaces of the oil and glycerin are at the same horizontal level. Find the length of the oil column. [Density of mercury = 13.6 g/]
1. 10.4 cm
2. 8.2 cm
3. 7.2 cm
4. 9.6 cm
