A cylindrical furnace has height $(H)$ and diameter $(D)$ both $1 \mathrm{~m}$. It is maintained at temperature $360 \mathrm{~K}$. The air gets heated inside the furnace at constant pressure $P_a$ and its temperature becomes $T=360 \mathrm{~K}$. The hot air with density $\rho$ rises up a vertical chimney of diameter $d=0.1 \mathrm{~m}$ and height $h=9 \mathrm{~m}$ above the furnace and exits the chimney (see the figure). As a result, atmospheric air of density $\rho_a=1.2 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}$, pressure $P_a$ and temperature $T_a=300 \mathrm{~K}$ enters the furnace. Assume air as an ideal gas, neglect the variations in $\rho$ and $T$ inside the chimney and the furnace. Also ignore the viscous effects.

($1$) Considering the air flow to be streamline, the steady mass flow rate of air exiting the chimney is

. . . . .$\mathrm{gm} \mathrm{s}^{-1}$.

($2$) When the chimney is closed using a cap at the top, a pressure difference $\Delta P$ develops between the top and the bottom surfaces of the cap. If the changes in the temperature and density of the hot air, due to the stoppage of air flow, are negligible then the value of $\Delta P$ is. . . . .$\mathrm{Nm}^{-2}$.

A cylinder stands vertical in two immiscible liquids of densities $\rho$ and $2 \rho$. The height of two liquids are shown. Find the difference in pressure at point $A$ and $B$

A light cylindrical vessel is kept on a horizontal surface. Area of base is A. A hole of crosssectional area $'a'$ is made just at its bottom side. The minimum coefficient of friction necessary to prevent sliding the vessel due to the impact force of the emerging liquid is $(a\,<\,<\,A)$
