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
    $(h_1 - h_2)gd$
  • B
    $(h_1 - h_2)gAd$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}(h_1 - h_2)^2gAd$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{4}(h_1 - h_2)^2gAd$

As shown in the figure,a liquid is at the same level in both arms of a $U$-tube of uniform cross-section when at rest. If the $U$-tube moves with an acceleration '$f$' towards the right,the difference between the liquid heights in the two arms of the $U$-tube will be (acceleration due to gravity $= g$):

An air bubble of volume $1\,cm^3$ rises from the bottom of a lake $40\,m$ deep to the surface at a temperature of $12^{\circ}C$. The atmospheric pressure is $1 \times 10^5\,Pa$,the density of water is $1000\,kg/m^3$,and $g = 10\,m/s^2$. There is no difference in the temperature of water at the depth of $40\,m$ and on the surface. The volume of the air bubble when it reaches the surface will be $..........\,cm^3$. (in $,cm^3$)

$A$ cylindrical vessel of height $500 \ mm$ has an orifice (small hole) at its bottom. The orifice is initially closed and water is filled in it up to height $H$. Now the top is completely sealed with a cap and the orifice at the bottom is opened. Some water comes out from the orifice and the water level in the vessel becomes steady with the height of the water column being $200 \ mm$. Find the fall in height (in $mm$) of the water level due to the opening of the orifice.
