$A$ spray gun is shown in the figure where a piston pushes air out of a nozzle. $A$ thin tube of uniform cross section is connected to the nozzle. The other end of the tube is in a small liquid container. As the piston pushes air through the nozzle,the liquid from the container rises into the nozzle and is sprayed out. For the spray gun shown,the radii of the piston and the nozzle are $20 \ mm$ and $1 \ mm$ respectively. The upper end of the container is open to the atmosphere.
$1.$ If the piston is pushed at a speed of $5 \ mm \ s^{-1}$,the air comes out of the nozzle with a speed of
$(A)$ $0.1 \ m \ s^{-1}$ $(B)$ $1 \ m \ s^{-1}$ $(C)$ $2 \ m \ s^{-1}$ $(D)$ $8 \ m \ s^{-1}$
$2.$ If the density of air is $\rho_{a}$ and that of the liquid is $\rho_{\ell}$,then for a given piston speed,the rate (volume per unit time) at which the liquid is sprayed will be proportional to
$(A)$ $\sqrt{\frac{\rho_{a}}{\rho_{\ell}}}$ $(B)$ $\sqrt{\rho_{a} \rho_{\ell}}$ $(C)$ $\sqrt{\frac{\rho_{\ell}}{\rho_{a}}}$ $(D)$ $\rho_{\ell}$

$A$ ball is made of a material of density $\rho$ where $\rho_{\text{oil}} < \rho < \rho_{\text{water}}$,with $\rho_{\text{oil}}$ and $\rho_{\text{water}}$ representing the densities of oil and water,respectively. The oil and water are immiscible. If the above ball is in equilibrium in a mixture of this oil and water,which of the following pictures represents its equilibrium position?

State whether the following statements are True or False:
$(i)$ If the weight of a body is greater than the buoyant force of the liquid,the body floats on the surface of the liquid.
