$A$ uniform meter scale is supported at its $20 \ cm$ mark. $A$ body suspended from the $10 \ cm$ mark keeps the scale horizontal. However,the scale becomes unbalanced if the body is completely immersed in water. To regain the balance,the body is shifted to the $8 \ cm$ mark. Therefore,the specific gravity of the material of the body is

  • A
    $5$
  • B
    $6$
  • C
    $7$
  • D
    $4$

$A$ $U$-tube of small and uniform cross-section contains water of total length $4H$. The height difference between the water columns on the left and on the right is $H$ when the valve $K$ is closed. The valve is suddenly opened,and water flows from left to right. Ignore friction. The speed of the water when the heights of the left and the right water columns are the same is:

State whether the following statements are True or False:
$(i)$ In incompressible flow,the density of a fluid changes with time and position.
$(ii)$ Non-viscous flow can be a streamline flow.
$(iii)$ In a steady flow,the velocity of the fluid at each point remains identical with time.

$A$ thin vertical uniform wooden rod is pivoted at the top and immersed in water as shown. The container is slowly raised. At a certain moment,the equilibrium becomes unstable. If the density of water is $9/5$ times the density of wood,then the ratio of the total length of the rod to the submerged length of the rod at that moment is:
