The weight of an aeroplane flying in the air is balanced by:

  • A
    Vertical component of the thrust created by air currents striking the lower surface of the wings
  • B
    Force due to reaction of gases ejected by the revolving propeller
  • C
    Upthrust of the air which will be equal to the weight of the air having the same volume as the plane
  • D
    Force due to the pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the wings created by different air speeds on the surfaces

Water containing air bubbles flows without turbulence through a horizontal pipe which has a region of narrow cross-section. In this region,the bubbles

$A$ horizontal pipeline carries water in a stream-line flow. At a point along the pipe, where the cross-sectional area is $10 \,cm^2$, the velocity of water is $1 \,m/s$ and the pressure is $2000 \,Pa$. The pressure of water at another point where the cross-sectional area is $5 \,cm^2$ is (Given: density of water $\rho = 1000 \,kg/m^3$) (in $\,Pa$)

$A$ train with cross-sectional area $S_t$ is moving with speed $v_t$ inside a long tunnel of cross-sectional area $S_0$ $(S_0 = 4S_t)$. Assume that almost all the air (density $\rho$) in front of the train flows back between its sides and the walls of the tunnel. Also,the air flow with respect to the train is steady and laminar. Take the ambient pressure and that inside the train to be $p_0$. If the pressure in the region between the sides of the train and the tunnel walls is $p$,then $p_0 - p = \frac{7}{2N} \rho v_t^2$. The value of $N$ is. . . . .
