Figure shows a large closed cylindrical tank containing water. Initially, the air trapped above the water surface has a height `h_(0)` and pressure `2p_(0)` where `rh_(0)` is the atmospheric pressure. There is a hole in the wall of the tank at a depth `h_(1)` below the top from which water comes out. A long vertical tube is connected as shown. Find the speed with which water comes out of the holeA. `1/(rho)[p_(0)-rhog(h_(1)-2h_(0))]^(1/2)`B. `[2/(rho)[p_(0)+rhog(h_(1)-h_(0))]]^(1/2)`C. `[3/(rho)[p_(0)+rhog(h_(1)+h_(0))]]^(1/2)`D. `[4/(rho)[p_(0)-rhog(h_(1)-h_(2))]]^(1/2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`2P_(0)=(h_(2)+h_(0))rhog+p_(0)`
(since liquids at the same level have the same pressure)
`P_(0)=h_(2)rhog+h_(0)rhog`
`h_(2)rhog=P_(0)-h_(0)rhog`
`h_(2)=(P_(0))/(rhog)-(h_(0)rhog)/(rhog)=(P_(0))/(rhog)-h_(0)`
`KE` of the water `=` Pressure energy of the water at that layer
`1/2mV^(2)=mxxP/(rho)`
`V^(2)=(2P)/rho=2/(rho)[P_(0)+rhog(h_(1)-h_(2))]`
`V=[2/(rho){P_(0)+rhog(h_(1)-h_(0))}]^(1/2)`
We know `2P_(0)+rhog(h_(1)-h_(0))=P_(0)=rhogX`
`impliesX=(P_(0))/(rhog)+(h_(1)-h_(0))=h_(2)+h_(1)`
i.e., `X` is `h_(1)` metre below the top or `X` is `-h_(1)` above the top.

Two identical cylindrical vessel with their bases at the same level each contain a liquid of density `rho`. The height of the liquid in one vessel is `h_(1)` and in the other is `h_(2)` the area of either base is A. What is the work done by gravity is equalising the levels when the two vessels are connected?A. `2 rho Ag(h_(2)-h_(1))^(2)`B. `rho Ag(h_(2)-h_(1))^(2)`C. `(1)/(2) rho Ag(h_(2)-h_(1))^(2)`D. `(1)/(4) rhoAg(h_(2)-h_(1))^(2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Common height after they are connected can be determined by equating the volume. Hence
`(A_(1)+A_(2))h=A_(1)h_(1)+A_(2)h_(2) " " (A_(1)=A_(2)=A)`
`therefore " " h=(h_(1)+h_(2))/(2)`
Work done by gravity `= - Delta U = U_(i)-U_(f)`
`={Ah_(1) rho. g. (h_(1))/(2)+Ah_(2)rho.g.(h_(2))/(2)}-A(h_(1)+h_(2))rho. g. ((h_(1)+h_(2)))/(4)`
`=(rho Ag)/(4)(h_(2)-h_(1))^(2)`

Two bodies are in equilibrium when suspended in water from the arms of balance. The mass of one body is 36 g and its density is `9 g// cm^3` If the mass of the other is 46 g, its density in `g//cm^3` isA. `(4)/(3)`B. `(3)/(2)`C. `3`D. `5`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Apparent weight `=V(rho-sigma)g = (m)/(rho) (rho-sigma)g`
where m = mass of the body, rho = density of the body and `sigma` = density of water
If two bodies are in equilibrium then their apparent weight must be equal.
`therefore (m_(1))/(rho_(1))(rho_(1)-sigma)g = (m_(2))/(rho_(2))(rho_(2)-sigma)g implies (36)/(9)(9-1)=(48)/(rho_(2))(rho_(2)-1)g`. By solving we get `rho_(2) =3`.

A ball of density d is dropped on to a horizontal solid surface. It bounces elastically from the surface and returns to its original position in a time `t_1`. Next, the ball is released and it falls through the same height before striking the surface of a liquid of density of `d_L` (a) If `dltd_L`, obtain an expression (in terms of d, `t_1` and `d_L`) for the time `t_2` the ball takes to come back to the position from which it was released. (b) Is the motion of the ball simple harmonic? (c) If `d=d_L`, how does the speed of the ball depend on its depth inside the liquid? Neglect all frictional and other dissipative forces. Assume the depth of the liquid to be large.

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::C::D
In elastic collision with the surface, direction of velicity is reversed but its magnitude remains the same,
Therefore, time of fall=time of rise,
or, time of fall `=(t_(1))/(2)`
Hence, velocity of the ball just before it collides with liquids is
`v=g(t_(1))/(2)`
Retardation inside the liquid
`a=("upthrust-weight")/("mass")=(Vd_(L)g-Vdg)/(Vd)`
`=((d_(L)-d)/(d))g`
Time taken to come to rest under this retardation will be
`t=v/a=(g t_(1))/(2a)=(g t_(1))/(2((d_(L)-d)/(d))g)`
`=(dt_(1))/(2(d_(L)-d))`
Same will be the time to come to back on the liquid surface.
therefore,
(a) `(t_(2))=` time the ball takes to came back to the position from where it was released
`=t_(1)+2t=t_(1)+(dt_(1))/(d_(L)-d)`
`=t_(1)[1+(d)/(d_(L)-d)]` or `t_(2) =(t_(1)d_(L))/(d_(L)-d)`
(b) The motion of the ball is periodic but not simple harminic because the acceleration of the ball is g in air and `((d_(L)-d)/(d)) g` inside the liqudi which is not proportional to the displacenent, which is necessary and sufficient condition for SHM.
(c ) When `(d_(L)=d)`, retardation or acceleration inside teh liquid becones zero (upthrust-weight). Therefore, the ball will continue to move with constant velocity `v=(gt_(1))/(2)` inside the liquid.

`p=(4T)/(r). "then" p_(1=(4T))/(r_(1))....(i)`
`p_(2)=(4T)/(r_(2))....(ii)`
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
`(p_(1))/(p_(2))=(4T//r_(1))/(4T//r_(2))=(r_(2))/(r_(1))=(1)/(2)`

Two solid spheres of same metal but of mass M and 8M fall simultaneously on a viscous liquid and their terminal velocitied are v and n v, then value of n isA. 16B. 8C. 4D. 2

Answer» Correct Answer - C
The terminal velocity is given by v, where `v prop r^(2)`
(r=radius of the sphere).
The mass of the sphere can be given by `m=(4)/(3)pi r^(3)rho`.
Thus `m prop r^(3)`
So, according to the question,
`(m_(1))/(m_(2))=(1)/(8)=((r_(1))/(r_(2)))^(2) implies (r_(1))/(r_(2))=(1)/(2)`
and since, `(v_(1))/(v_(2))=((r_(1))/(r_(2)))^(2)=((1)/(2))^(2)=(1)/(4)=(v)/(nv)=(1)/(4) implies n=4`
