Why can liquids flow?

  • A
    Because the intermolecular forces are very strong.
  • B
    Because the intermolecular forces are weak and molecules can move past each other.
  • C
    Because the molecules are fixed in a rigid structure.
  • D
    Because the kinetic energy of molecules is zero.

$A$ table tennis ball has radius $(3 / 2) \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}$ and mass $(22 / 7) \times 10^{-3} \text{ kg}$. It is slowly pushed down into a swimming pool to a depth of $d = 0.7 \text{ m}$ below the water surface and then released from rest. It emerges from the water surface at speed $v$,without getting wet,and rises up to a height $H$. Which of the following option$(s)$ is (are) correct?
[Given: $\pi = 22 / 7, g = 10 \text{ ms}^{-2}$,density of water $= 1 \times 10^3 \text{ kg m}^{-3}$,viscosity of water $= 1 \times 10^{-3} \text{ Pa-s}$.]
$(A)$ The work done in pushing the ball to the depth $d$ is $0.077 \text{ J}$.
$(B)$ If we neglect the viscous force in water,then the speed $v = 7 \text{ m/s}$.
$(C)$ If we neglect the viscous force in water,then the height $H = 1.4 \text{ m}$.
$(D)$ The ratio of the magnitudes of the net force excluding the viscous force to the maximum viscous force in water is $500 / 9$.

$A$ liquid drop of density $\rho$ is floating half-immersed in a liquid of density $d$. If $T$ is the surface tension,then the diameter of the liquid drop is ($g$ = acceleration due to gravity).

$A$ motor is used to deliver water at a certain rate through a given horizontal pipe. To deliver $n$-times the water through the same pipe in the same time,the power of the motor must be increased as follows:

$A$ cylindrical vessel partially filled with water is rotated about its vertical central axis. Its surface will

$A$ liquid flows through a horizontal tube. The velocities of the liquid in the two sections,which have areas of cross-section $A_1$ and $A_2$,are $v_1$ and $v_2$ respectively. The difference in the levels of the liquid in the two vertical tubes is $h$.
