The heart of a man pumps $5 \, \text{litres}$ of blood through the arteries per minute at a pressure of $150 \, \text{mm}$ of mercury. If the density of mercury is $13.6 \times 10^3 \, \text{kg/m}^3$ and $g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2$, then the power (in $\text{watt}$) is:

The figure shows a three-arm tube in which a liquid is filled up to a height $l$. It is now rotated at an angular frequency $\omega$ about an axis passing through arm $B$. Find the angular frequency $\omega$ at which the level of liquid in arm $B$ becomes zero.

When an air bubble of radius $r$ rises from the bottom to the surface of a lake,its radius becomes $\frac{5r}{4}$. Taking the atmospheric pressure to be equal to $10 \ m$ height of water column,the depth of the lake would approximately be ....... $m$ (ignore the surface tension and the effect of temperature).

Water flows through a frictionless duct with a cross-section varying as shown in the figure. Pressure $p$ at points along the axis is represented by:
