(N/A) Turbulence dissipates kinetic energy,usually in the form of heat.
Racing cars and planes are engineered to precision in order to minimize turbulence.
On the other hand,turbulence is sometimes desirable. Turbulence promotes mixing and increases the rates of transfer of mass,momentum,and energy.
The blades of a kitchen mixer induce turbulent flow,which helps in preparing thick milkshakes and beating eggs into a uniform texture.

In the figure shown,the heavy cylinder (radius $R$) resting on a smooth surface separates two liquids of densities $2\rho$ and $3\rho$. The height '$h$' for the equilibrium of the cylinder must be

Two solid spheres $A$ and $B$ of equal volumes but of different densities $d_A$ and $d_B$ are connected by a string. They are fully immersed in a fluid of density $d_F$. They get arranged into an equilibrium state as shown in the figure with a tension in the string. The arrangement is possible only if:
$(A)$ $d_A < d_F$
$(B)$ $d_B > d_F$
$(C)$ $d_A + d_B = 2d_F$
$(D)$ $d_A > d_F$

Two identical cylindrical vessels with their bases at the same level, each contains a liquid of density $d$. The height of the liquid in one vessel is $h_1$ and that in the other vessel is $h_2$. The area of either base is $A$. The work done by gravity in equalizing the levels when the two vessels are connected is

$A$ cylindrical vessel containing a liquid is rotated about its axis so that the liquid rises at its sides as shown in the figure. The diameter of the vessel is $10 \, cm$ and the angular speed of rotation is $\omega \, rad \, s^{-1}$. The difference in the height,$h$ (in $cm$),of the liquid at the centre of the vessel and at the side will be
