Mix Examples-Fluid Mechanics and Surface Tension Questions in English

(B) When a cylindrical vessel containing water is rotated about its vertical central axis,every water particle experiences a centrifugal force directed radially outward from the axis of rotation.
This centrifugal force pushes the water particles towards the walls of the vessel.
As a result,the water level near the sides of the vessel rises,while the water level at the center (near the axis) decreases,forming a parabolic shape.
Therefore,the surface of the water rises from the sides.

(C) When the bottle is swung in a vertical circle,the liquid (which is denser than the gas bubbles) experiences a larger centrifugal force directed away from the center of rotation.
Since the liquid is pushed towards the bottom of the bottle due to this centrifugal force,the lighter gas bubbles are displaced towards the region of lower centrifugal force,which is near the neck of the bottle.

(D) Let $h$ be the common height when the vessels are connected. By the conservation of mass,the total volume of liquid remains constant:
$A h_1 + A h_2 = A h + A h = 2Ah$
$h = \frac{h_1 + h_2}{2}$
The initial potential energy of the system is the sum of the potential energies of the liquid in each vessel. The center of gravity of the liquid in a cylindrical vessel is at half its height:
$U_i = (A h_1 \rho) g \frac{h_1}{2} + (A h_2 \rho) g \frac{h_2}{2} = \frac{1}{2} A \rho g (h_1^2 + h_2^2)$
After connecting the vessels,the final height in each vessel is $h = \frac{h_1 + h_2}{2}$. The final potential energy of the system is:
$U_f = 2 \times (A h \rho) g \frac{h}{2} = A \rho g h^2 = A \rho g \left( \frac{h_1 + h_2}{2} \right)^2 = \frac{1}{4} A \rho g (h_1 + h_2)^2$
The work done by gravity is the decrease in potential energy:
$W = U_i - U_f = \frac{1}{2} A \rho g (h_1^2 + h_2^2) - \frac{1}{4} A \rho g (h_1 + h_2)^2$
$W = \frac{1}{4} A \rho g [2(h_1^2 + h_2^2) - (h_1^2 + h_2^2 + 2h_1 h_2)]$
$W = \frac{1}{4} A \rho g (h_1^2 + h_2^2 - 2h_1 h_2) = \frac{1}{4} A \rho g (h_1 - h_2)^2$

(C) The power $P$ required by a pump to deliver water through a pipe of cross-sectional area $A$ with velocity $v$ is given by $P = \frac{1}{2} \rho A v^3$, where $\rho$ is the density of water.
Since the volume flow rate $Q = Av$ must be doubled in the same time, the velocity $v$ must be doubled $(v' = 2v)$.
Substituting this into the power equation: $P' = \frac{1}{2} \rho A (2v)^3 = \frac{1}{2} \rho A (8v^3) = 8P$.
Therefore, the power of the motor must be increased to $8$ times the original power.

(A) Power is defined as the rate of doing work,which can be expressed as $P = \frac{W}{t}$.
Since work done by pressure is $W = P \times \Delta V$,the power is $P = \frac{P \times \Delta V}{t}$.
Given:
Pressure $(P)$ = $20000 \ N/m^2$
Volume $(\Delta V)$ = $1 \ cc = 1 \ cm^3 = 1 \times 10^{-6} \ m^3$
Time $(t)$ = $1 \ s$
Substituting the values:
$P = \frac{20000 \times 1 \times 10^{-6}}{1} \ W$
$P = 2 \times 10^4 \times 10^{-6} \ W$
$P = 2 \times 10^{-2} \ W = 0.02 \ W$.

(D) When the water is heated,the following changes occur:
$1$. The saturated vapour pressure of water increases with temperature,which exerts more pressure inside the bubble,causing it to expand.
$2$. As the temperature increases,the kinetic energy of the air molecules inside the bubble increases,leading to an increase in their root mean square velocity,which increases the pressure exerted by the air on the bubble walls.
$3$. The surface tension of water decreases as the temperature increases. Since the excess pressure inside a bubble is given by $P = 2T/r$,a decrease in surface tension $(T)$ allows the bubble to expand for a given internal pressure.
Therefore,all the given factors contribute to the increase in the size of the bubble.

(C) The correct answer is $C$. The phenomenon where a liquid surface comes to rest after stirring is due to the viscosity of the liquid,which provides internal friction to dampen the motion. The other options (dancing of camphor,spherical shape of mercury drops,and non-wetting of glass by mercury) are all direct consequences of surface tension.

(C) Let $n$ be the number of small drops of radius $r$ that combine to form a large drop of radius $R$.
The volume is conserved: $n \cdot \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3$,so $n = \frac{R^3}{r^3}$.
The change in surface area is $\Delta A = n(4 \pi r^2) - 4 \pi R^2 = 4 \pi (n r^2 - R^2)$.
Substituting $n = \frac{R^3}{r^3}$,we get $\Delta A = 4 \pi \left( \frac{R^3}{r} - R^2 \right) = 4 \pi R^3 \left( \frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{R} \right)$.
The energy released is $W = T \cdot \Delta A = 4 \pi R^3 T \left( \frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{R} \right)$.
This energy is converted into heat: $Q = mS \Delta \theta$,where $m = \rho \cdot \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3$.
Using $W = JQ$,we have $4 \pi R^3 T \left( \frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{R} \right) = J \cdot \rho \cdot \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 \cdot S \cdot \Delta \theta$.
For water,density $\rho = 1 \text{ g/cm}^3$ and specific heat $S = 1 \text{ cal/g}^{\circ}\text{C}$.
Thus,$\Delta \theta = \frac{3T}{J} \left( \frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{R} \right)$.

(C) Let the atmospheric pressure be $P_0 = 75 \ cm$ of $Hg$. The pressure at the bottom of the lake is $P_1 = P_0 + h\rho_w g$,where $h$ is the depth of the lake and $\rho_w$ is the density of water.
At the surface,the pressure is $P_2 = P_0$.
According to Boyle's Law,$P_1 V_1 = P_2 V_2$.
Given $V_2 = 3V_1$,we have $(P_0 + h\rho_w g)V_1 = P_0(3V_1)$.
This simplifies to $P_0 + h\rho_w g = 3P_0$,or $h\rho_w g = 2P_0$.
Given $\rho_w = \frac{1}{10} \rho_{Hg}$,we substitute $P_0 = h_{Hg} \rho_{Hg} g$ where $h_{Hg} = 0.75 \ m$.
So,$h (\frac{1}{10} \rho_{Hg}) g = 2 (h_{Hg} \rho_{Hg} g)$.
$h / 10 = 2 \times 0.75$.
$h = 20 \times 0.75 = 15 \ m$.

(D) At the condition of equilibrium,the pressure at the same horizontal level in a continuous liquid is equal.
Let the horizontal level be at the bottom of the glycerin column,passing through points $A$ and $B$ as shown in the diagram.
Pressure at point $A$ = Pressure at point $B$.
The pressure at $A$ is due to the glycerin column of height $10 \text{ cm}$.
$P_A = h_{\text{glycerin}} \times \rho_{\text{glycerin}} \times g = 10 \times 1.3 \times g$.
The pressure at $B$ is due to the oil column of height $h$ and the mercury column of height $(10 - h)$.
$P_B = h \times \rho_{\text{oil}} \times g + (10 - h) \times \rho_{\text{mercury}} \times g = h \times 0.8 \times g + (10 - h) \times 13.6 \times g$.
Equating $P_A$ and $P_B$:
$10 \times 1.3 \times g = h \times 0.8 \times g + (10 - h) \times 13.6 \times g$.
Dividing by $g$:
$13 = 0.8h + 136 - 13.6h$.
$13 = 136 - 12.8h$.
$12.8h = 136 - 13 = 123$.
$h = \frac{123}{12.8} \approx 9.609 \text{ cm}$.
Rounding to the nearest given option,the length of the oil column is $9.6 \text{ cm}$.

(A) When the tube rotates with angular velocity $\omega$,the water in the horizontal arms experiences a centrifugal force directed outwards.
For a small element of water of mass $dm$ at a distance $r$ from the axis of rotation,the required centripetal force is provided by the pressure gradient: $dP = \rho \omega^2 r dr$.
Integrating this from the axis $(r=0)$ to a distance $r$,we get the pressure at distance $r$ as $P(r) = P_0 + \frac{1}{2} \rho \omega^2 r^2$,where $P_0$ is the pressure at the axis.
Since the pressure at the surface of the water in the vertical arms must be equal to the atmospheric pressure,the height $h$ of the water column in an arm at distance $r$ from the axis is given by $\rho gh = P(r) - P_{atm}$.
As $r$ increases,the pressure $P(r)$ increases,which means the height $h$ of the water column must increase to balance this pressure.
Since both arms $A$ and $B$ are at distances $L$ and $2L$ respectively from the axis,the water levels in both arms will rise compared to the level at the central axis to provide the necessary centripetal force for the rotation of the water mass.

(D) Let the depth of the lake be $h$. The pressure at the bottom of the lake is $P_1 = P_{atm} + h \rho g$,where $P_{atm} = P \rho g$ (given as $P \text{ cm}$ of water). Thus,$P_1 = (P + h) \rho g$.
The pressure at the surface is $P_2 = P_{atm} = P \rho g$.
Since the temperature remains constant,we use Boyle's Law: $P_1 V_1 = P_2 V_2$.
The volume of the bubble at the bottom is $V_1 = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$ and at the surface is $V_2 = \frac{4}{3} \pi (2r)^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi (8r^3)$.
Substituting these into the equation:
$(P + h) \rho g \cdot \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 = P \rho g \cdot \frac{4}{3} \pi (8r^3)$
Dividing both sides by $\rho g \cdot \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$:
$P + h = 8P$
Solving for $h$:
$h = 8P - P = 7P$.

(D) In a turbulent flow,the fluid motion is characterized by chaotic,irregular fluctuations in velocity and pressure. Unlike laminar flow,where the no-slip condition strictly dictates that the velocity of the fluid layer in contact with a stationary boundary is zero,turbulent flow involves complex eddy structures and fluctuating velocity gradients near the wall.
Due to the presence of these irregular fluctuations and the dynamic nature of the boundary layer in turbulent regimes,the instantaneous velocity of fluid molecules at the wall is not necessarily zero. It can exhibit a wide range of values depending on the local instantaneous flow conditions. Therefore,in a turbulent flow,the velocity of the liquid molecules in contact with the walls of the tube may have any value.

(D) According to the equation of continuity,the volume of liquid flowing through the tube in unit time remains constant,i.e.,$A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2$. Hence,option $(a)$ is correct.
According to Bernoulli's theorem for a horizontal tube,the total energy per unit mass is conserved,meaning $P_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2$. Thus,option $(b)$ is correct.
Rearranging the Bernoulli equation: $P_1 - P_2 = \frac{1}{2}\rho (v_2^2 - v_1^2)$.
Since the pressure difference is measured by the height difference $h$ in the vertical tubes,$P_1 - P_2 = h\rho g$.
Equating these,$h\rho g = \frac{1}{2}\rho (v_2^2 - v_1^2)$,which simplifies to $v_2^2 - v_1^2 = 2gh$. Hence,option $(c)$ is correct.
Since $(a)$,$(b)$,and $(c)$ are all correct,option $(d)$ is the correct answer.

(C) Let the cross-sectional area of the left limb be $A$ and the right limb be $4A$.
Let the rise in the level of mercury in the right limb be $x \text{ cm}$.
Due to the conservation of volume,the fall in the level of mercury in the left limb will be $4x \text{ cm}$ because the area of the right limb is $4$ times that of the left limb.
Initially,the mercury level was at $36 \text{ cm}$ from the top. After the fall,the mercury level in the left limb is at a distance of $(36 + 4x) \text{ cm}$ from the top.
Now,equating the pressure at the interface of mercury and water (at the new level $A'B'$ in the left limb):
Pressure due to water column = Pressure due to the rise in mercury column in the right limb.
$(36 + 4x) \times 1 \times g = (4x + x) \times 13.6 \times g$
$(36 + 4x) = 5x \times 13.6$
$36 + 4x = 68x$
$64x = 36$
$x = \frac{36}{64} = 0.56 \text{ cm}$.

(B) Consider two points $A$ (at the centre) and $B$ (at the edge) on the surface of the liquid.
Let $P_A$ and $P_B$ be the pressures at points $A$ and $B$ respectively.
Since both points are on the free surface of the liquid,$P_A = P_B = P_{atm}$.
In the rotating frame of the vessel,the effective force on a fluid element is the combination of gravity and centrifugal force.
The pressure variation in the rotating liquid is given by $dP = \rho \omega^2 x dx$,where $x$ is the distance from the axis.
Integrating from $x = 0$ to $x = r$:
$\int_{P_A}^{P_B} dP = \int_{0}^{r} \rho \omega^2 x dx$
$P_B - P_A = \frac{1}{2} \rho \omega^2 r^2$
Since $P_A = P_B$,this pressure difference is balanced by the hydrostatic pressure difference due to the height difference $h$:
$P_B - P_A = \rho g h$
Equating the two expressions:
$\rho g h = \frac{1}{2} \rho \omega^2 r^2$
$h = \frac{r^2 \omega^2}{2g}$

(B) When a liquid in a cup is stirred and rotates without turbulence,it exhibits forced vortex motion near the center and free vortex motion further out. However,in a standard cup of tea,the liquid near the center rotates with the cup,and as we move radially outward from the center $(X=0)$ to the edge of the cup,the tangential velocity $v$ increases linearly $(v = \omega X)$ due to the rotation of the fluid as a rigid body. Once the fluid reaches the boundary,the velocity must satisfy the no-slip condition at the wall. Among the given options,the linear relationship $v \propto X$ is represented by graph $B$.

(B) The melting point of ice decreases with an increase in pressure. This is because ice expands upon solidification,meaning its volume increases when it turns from liquid water to solid ice. According to Le Chatelier's principle and the Clausius-Clapeyron relation,for substances that expand upon freezing,an increase in pressure lowers the melting point.

(A) Relative humidity is defined as the ratio of the amount of water vapor present in the air to the maximum amount the air can hold at that temperature.
When the relative humidity is low (e.g., $25\%$), the air is dry and can absorb more moisture.
This leads to a faster rate of evaporation of sweat from our skin.
Since evaporation is an endothermic process that absorbs latent heat from the body, a higher rate of evaporation results in a greater cooling effect.
Therefore, we feel colder on a day with lower relative humidity.

(C) The relative humidity is defined as the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapour to the saturated vapour pressure of water at the same temperature.
Given:
Partial pressure of water vapour $(P_W)$ = $0.012 \times 10^5 \, Pa$
Saturated vapour pressure of water $(P_V)$ = $0.016 \times 10^5 \, Pa$
Relative Humidity = $\frac{P_W}{P_V} \times 100\%$
Relative Humidity = $\frac{0.012 \times 10^5}{0.016 \times 10^5} \times 100\%$
Relative Humidity = $\frac{0.012}{0.016} \times 100\% = \frac{12}{16} \times 100\% = 0.75 \times 100\% = 75\%$.

(B) Loss of weight at $27^{\circ}C$ is $W_1 = 46 - 30 = 16 \, g$. This equals the weight of the displaced liquid: $V_1 \times \rho_1 \times g = 16 \, g$,where $\rho_1 = 1.24 \, g/cm^3$. Thus,$V_1 = 16 / 1.24 \, cm^3$.
Loss of weight at $42^{\circ}C$ is $W_2 = 46 - 30.5 = 15.5 \, g$. This equals $V_2 \times \rho_2 \times g = 15.5 \, g$,where $\rho_2 = 1.20 \, g/cm^3$. Thus,$V_2 = 15.5 / 1.20 \, cm^3$.
The volume expansion of the metal is given by $V_2 = V_1(1 + \gamma \Delta T)$,where $\gamma = 3\alpha$ and $\Delta T = 42 - 27 = 15^{\circ}C$.
$\frac{V_2}{V_1} = \frac{15.5 / 1.20}{16 / 1.24} = \frac{15.5 \times 1.24}{16 \times 1.20} = \frac{19.22}{19.2} \approx 1.0010416$.
Since $1 + 3\alpha(15) = 1.0010416$,we have $3\alpha(15) = 0.0010416$.
$\alpha = \frac{0.0010416}{45} \approx 2.315 \times 10^{-5} \, ^{\circ}C^{-1}$.

(D) Diffusion is the process of movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
In gases,the intermolecular forces are very weak and the particles have high kinetic energy,allowing them to move freely and rapidly.
In liquids,particles are more closely packed than in gases,and in solids,they are tightly packed with very little space to move.
Therefore,the rate of diffusion is highest in gases,followed by liquids,and lowest in solids due to the differences in intermolecular space and kinetic energy.

(D) Initially,as the vapour is injected into the evacuated vessel,the number of moles of vapour increases,causing the pressure to increase.
As the pressure reaches the saturated vapour pressure at the given temperature,the vapour begins to condense into liquid.
Once the system reaches a state of dynamic equilibrium between the liquid and vapour phases,the pressure remains constant regardless of further injection of vapour at a constant rate.

(C) Since the temperature is constant,we apply Boyle's Law: $P_1 V_1 = P_2 V_2$.
Let $P_0$ be the atmospheric pressure and $H$ be the depth of the lake.
At the bottom,the pressure is $P_1 = P_0 + \rho gH$.
The volume at the bottom is $V_1 = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$.
At the surface,the pressure is $P_2 = P_0$.
The volume at the surface is $V_2 = \frac{4}{3} \pi (5r/4)^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 (125/64)$.
Equating $P_1 V_1 = P_2 V_2$:
$(P_0 + \rho gH) \cdot \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 = P_0 \cdot \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 (125/64)$.
$P_0 + \rho gH = P_0 (125/64)$.
$\rho gH = P_0 (125/64 - 1) = P_0 (61/64)$.
Given $P_0 = \rho g (10 \, m)$,we substitute $P_0$:
$\rho gH = \rho g (10) (61/64)$.
$H = 10 \times (61/64) = 610 / 64 = 9.53125 \, m$.
Thus,the depth of the lake is approximately $9.53 \, m$.

(A) In a water voltameter,pure water is a poor conductor of electricity.
To facilitate electrolysis,a small amount of an electrolyte like dilute $H_2SO_4$ is added to the water.
However,the substance that actually undergoes electrolysis (decomposition into its constituent elements) is water $(H_2O)$.
Therefore,the electrolysis of $H_2O$ takes place.

(C) The power $P$ is given by the rate of work done: $P = \frac{dW}{dt} = \frac{P_{pressure} \cdot dV}{dt} = P_{pressure} \cdot \frac{dV}{dt}$.
First,calculate the pressure $P_{pressure} = h \cdot \rho \cdot g$:
$h = 0.1 \ m$,$\rho = 13600 \ kg/m^3$,$g = 9.8 \ m/s^2$.
$P_{pressure} = 0.1 \times 13600 \times 9.8 = 13328 \ Pa$.
Next,calculate the rate of volume discharge $\frac{dV}{dt}$:
Volume per beat $= 75 \ cc = 75 \times 10^{-6} \ m^3$.
Beats per second $= \frac{72}{60} = 1.2 \ s^{-1}$.
$\frac{dV}{dt} = 75 \times 10^{-6} \times 1.2 = 90 \times 10^{-6} \ m^3/s$.
Finally,calculate the power:
$P = 13328 \times 90 \times 10^{-6} \approx 1.1995 \ W \approx 1.19 \ W$.

(C) The mass flow rate is given by $\frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A v$.
To obtain $n$ times the mass in the same time,the new mass flow rate must be $\left(\frac{dm}{dt}\right)' = n \frac{dm}{dt}$.
Since $\rho$ and $A$ are constant,$v' = nv$.
Force $F = v \frac{dm}{dt}$.
Thus,$F' = v' \left(\frac{dm}{dt}\right)' = (nv) (n \frac{dm}{dt}) = n^2 F$.
Power $P = Fv$.
Thus,$P' = F' v' = (n^2 F) (nv) = n^3 P$.
Therefore,the factors are $nv, n^2F, n^3P$.

(D) The potential energy of a liquid column of height $h$ in a vessel of cross-section $A$ is given by $U = (mass) \times g \times (height\ of\ center\ of\ mass) = (A \cdot h \cdot d) \cdot g \cdot (h/2) = \frac{1}{2}Adgh^2$.
Initial potential energy $U_i = \frac{1}{2}Adgh_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}Adgh_2^2$.
When connected,the final height in both vessels will be $h = \frac{h_1 + h_2}{2}$.
Final potential energy $U_f = 2 \times (\frac{1}{2}Adgh^2) = Adg(\frac{h_1 + h_2}{2})^2$.
Work done by gravity $W = U_i - U_f = \frac{1}{2}Adg(h_1^2 + h_2^2) - Adg(\frac{h_1 + h_2}{2})^2$.
$W = Adg [\frac{h_1^2 + h_2^2}{2} - \frac{h_1^2 + h_2^2 + 2h_1h_2}{4}] = Adg [\frac{2h_1^2 + 2h_2^2 - h_1^2 - h_2^2 - 2h_1h_2}{4}] = \frac{Adg}{4}(h_1 - h_2)^2$.

(B) Let $P_1$ and $V_1$ be the pressure and volume at the bottom of the lake,and $P_2$ and $V_2$ be the pressure and volume at the surface.
According to Boyle's Law,$P_1 V_1 = P_2 V_2$.
The pressure at the bottom is $P_1 = P_0 + h \rho_w g$,where $P_0$ is atmospheric pressure,$h = 47.6\, m = 4760\, cm$,$\rho_w = 1\, g/cm^3$,and $g$ is acceleration due to gravity.
The atmospheric pressure $P_0 = 70\, cm$ of $Hg = 70 \times 13.6 \times g$ (in $dyne/cm^2$).
The pressure at the bottom $P_1 = (70 \times 13.6 \times g) + (4760 \times 1 \times g) = g(952 + 4760) = 5712g$.
The pressure at the surface $P_2 = P_0 = 70 \times 13.6 \times g = 952g$.
Using $P_1 V_1 = P_2 V_2$:
$5712g \times 50 = 952g \times V_2$
$V_2 = \frac{5712 \times 50}{952} = 6 \times 50 = 300\, cm^3$.

(B) Consider a point $A$ at the center of the liquid surface and a point $B$ at the side of the container at the same horizontal level as $A$ in the rotating frame.
Using Bernoulli's principle in the rotating frame,the pressure difference between the center and the side is given by the hydrostatic pressure difference due to the height $h$:
$P_B - P_A = h \rho g$
In the rotating frame,the effective pressure difference due to centrifugal force is:
$P_B - P_A = \int_0^r \rho \omega^2 x \, dx = \frac{1}{2} \rho \omega^2 r^2$
Equating the two expressions for pressure difference:
$h \rho g = \frac{1}{2} \rho \omega^2 r^2$
$h = \frac{r^2 \omega^2}{2g}$

(D) Given:
Volume of blood pumped, $V = 5 \, \text{litres} = 5 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m}^3$.
Time, $t = 1 \, \text{min} = 60 \, \text{s}$.
Pressure, $P = 150 \, \text{mm of Hg} = 0.15 \, \text{m of Hg}$.
Density of mercury, $\rho = 13.6 \times 10^3 \, \text{kg/m}^3$.
Acceleration due to gravity, $g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2$.
First, calculate the pressure in $\text{N/m}^2$ using $P = h \rho g$:
$P = (0.15 \, \text{m}) \times (13.6 \times 10^3 \, \text{kg/m}^3) \times (10 \, \text{m/s}^2)$
$P = 20.4 \times 10^3 \, \text{N/m}^2$.
Now, calculate the power using $Power = \frac{P \times V}{t}$:
$Power = \frac{(20.4 \times 10^3 \, \text{N/m}^2) \times (5 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m}^3)}{60 \, \text{s}}$
$Power = \frac{20.4 \times 5}{60} \, \text{W}$
$Power = \frac{102}{60} \, \text{W} = 1.7 \, \text{W}$.

(B) When a drop of water breaks into two droplets,the total mass of the system remains conserved according to the law of conservation of mass.
Let the radius of the original drop be $R$ and the radius of each of the two smaller droplets be $r$. Since the mass is conserved,the total volume remains constant:
$\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 = 2 \times \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$
This simplifies to $R^3 = 2r^3$,or $R = 2^{1/3} r$.
Since the total mass is the sum of the masses of the individual droplets,option $B$ is correct. The surface area increases during this process,and the temperature typically changes due to the change in surface energy.

(D) Given: $a = g/2$. Let the liquid level in the left limb rise by $x$ and in the right limb fall by $x$. The pressure at point $A$ (left corner) is $P_A = P_0 + \rho g h + 2\rho g(h-x) = P_0 + 3\rho g h - 2\rho g x$.
The pressure at point $B$ (right corner) is $P_B = P_0 + \rho g x$.
The pressure difference between $A$ and $B$ due to horizontal acceleration is $P_A - P_B = \rho_{eff} \cdot L \cdot a$,where $L = 2h$ is the length of the horizontal arm.
Considering the effective mass distribution,the pressure difference is $P_A - P_B = [2\rho(h+x) + \rho(h-x)] \cdot a$ is incorrect; the correct approach is using the pressure gradient: $P_A - P_B = (2\rho) \cdot (2h) \cdot a$.
$P_A - P_B = (2\rho)(2h)(g/2) = 2\rho g h$.
Substituting the expressions for $P_A$ and $P_B$:
$(P_0 + 3\rho g h - 2\rho g x) - (P_0 + \rho g x) = 2\rho g h$.
$3\rho g h - 3\rho g x = 2\rho g h$.
$\rho g h = 3\rho g x \implies x = h/3$.
The difference in heights is $\Delta H = (h+x) - (h-x) = 2x = 2h/3$.
Since $2h/3$ is not in the options,the correct answer is $D$.

(B) Let the mass of the (bucket $+$ water) be $M$. The mass of the weight is $M/2$.
The system is connected by a rope over a pulley. The net force on the system is $Mg - (M/2)g = Mg/2$.
The total mass of the system is $M + M/2 = 3M/2$.
The acceleration $a$ of the system is $a = \frac{\text{Net Force}}{\text{Total Mass}} = \frac{Mg/2}{3M/2} = g/3$.
Since the bucket is moving downward with acceleration $a = g/3$,the effective acceleration due to gravity is $g_{eff} = g - a = g - g/3 = 2g/3$.
The gauge pressure at the bottom is given by $P - P_0 = \rho g_{eff} h$.
Substituting the values: $\rho = 1000 \ kg/m^3$,$g = 10 \ m/s^2$,$h = 0.15 \ m$.
$P - P_0 = 1000 \times (2 \times 10 / 3) \times 0.15 = 1000 \times (20/3) \times 0.15 = 1000 \times 1 = 1000 \ Pa = 1 \ kPa$.

(B) Consider a fluid particle of mass $m$ on the free surface. In the non-inertial frame of the container,the effective forces acting on the particle are gravity ($mg$ downwards),pseudo force ($ma$ directed down the incline),and the normal force from the fluid below.
The free surface of the liquid must be perpendicular to the effective acceleration vector $\vec{g}_{eff}$.
The effective acceleration $\vec{g}_{eff} = \vec{g} - \vec{a}$.
Resolving components along and perpendicular to the incline:
Component of $\vec{g}$ perpendicular to the incline = $g\cos\alpha$ (downwards).
Component of $\vec{g}$ parallel to the incline = $g\sin\alpha$ (down the incline).
Component of $\vec{a}$ parallel to the incline = $a$ (up the incline).
Total effective acceleration parallel to the incline $a_{||} = g\sin\alpha + a$ (downwards along the incline).
Total effective acceleration perpendicular to the incline $a_{\perp} = g\cos\alpha$ (downwards).
The angle $\theta$ that the free surface makes with the horizontal (or the incline,depending on the diagram definition) is given by the ratio of the components of the effective acceleration.
From the geometry,$\tan\theta = \frac{a_{||}}{a_{\perp}} = \frac{a + g\sin\alpha}{g\cos\alpha}$.
Thus,$\theta = \tan^{-1}\left[\frac{a+g\sin\alpha}{g\cos\alpha}\right]$.

(C) Let the cross-sectional area of each arm be $S$. When the tube rotates,the liquid level in arm $B$ drops to zero,and the liquid rises in arms $A$ and $C$. Since the total volume of liquid is conserved,the liquid rises by $l/2$ in arms $A$ and $C$,reaching a height of $3l/2$.
The pressure at the base of arm $A$ (or $C$) is $P = P_0 + \rho g (3l/2)$.
The pressure difference between the base of arm $A$ and the axis of rotation (arm $B$) provides the centripetal force for the liquid in the horizontal section of length $l$. The center of mass of this liquid column is at a distance $l/2$ from the axis.
Equating the pressure difference to the centripetal force per unit area:
$(P - P_0) S = (\rho S l) \omega^2 (l/2)$
Substituting $P - P_0 = \rho g (3l/2)$:
$\rho g (3l/2) S = \rho S l^2 \omega^2 / 2$
Canceling $\rho, S,$ and $l$ from both sides:
$3g/2 = l \omega^2 / 2$
$\omega^2 = 3g/l$
$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{3g}{l}}$

(B) Let the side length of the cubical tank be $L$. When the tank is accelerated with acceleration $a$ in the horizontal direction,the free surface of the water makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal,such that $\tan \theta = a/g$.
The volume of the empty space created in the tank is the volume of the triangular prism formed by the tilted water surface. The height of this empty space at the back wall is $h = L \tan \theta$.
The volume of the spilled water is equal to the volume of this empty space:
$V_{\text{spilled}} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \times \text{width} = \frac{1}{2} \times L \times (L \tan \theta) \times L = \frac{L^3 \tan \theta}{2}$.
Given that one-third of the total volume $(V_{\text{total}} = L^3)$ spilled out:
$\frac{L^3 \tan \theta}{2} = \frac{1}{3} L^3$.
Simplifying this,we get:
$\frac{\tan \theta}{2} = \frac{1}{3} \Rightarrow \tan \theta = \frac{2}{3}$.
Since $\tan \theta = a/g$,we have:
$a/g = 2/3 \Rightarrow a = 2g/3$.

(B) For the cylinder to be in equilibrium,the net horizontal force acting on it must be zero.
The horizontal force exerted by a liquid on a curved surface is equal to the force exerted by the same liquid on the vertical projection of that surface.
Let the length of the cylinder be $L$.
The force exerted by the liquid of density $2\rho$ on the left side is $F_1 = P_{avg} \times A = (2\rho g \frac{h}{2}) \times (hL) = \rho g h^2 L$.
The force exerted by the liquid of density $3\rho$ on the right side is $F_2 = P_{avg} \times A = (3\rho g \frac{h}{2}) \times (hL) = 1.5 \rho g h^2 L$.
However,the problem implies the cylinder is in equilibrium under the pressure of these liquids. For the cylinder to not move horizontally,the net force must be zero. This implies the pressure forces must balance. Given the geometry,the effective force is calculated by integrating pressure over the surface. The horizontal force on a submerged vertical projection of height $h$ is $F = \int_0^h (\rho g y) L dy = \frac{1}{2} \rho g h^2 L$.
Equating the forces: $(2\rho) g \frac{h^2}{2} L = (3\rho) g \frac{h^2}{2} L$ is not possible unless $h=0$. Re-evaluating: the cylinder is in equilibrium if the net torque or net force is zero. The horizontal force is $F_H = \int P dA_x$. For a cylinder of radius $R$ and height $h$ submerged,the horizontal force is $F = \int_0^h \rho g y (L dy) = \frac{1}{2} \rho g h^2 L$. Setting $2\rho g h^2 = 3\rho g (R^2 - (R-h)^2)$ is incorrect. The correct equilibrium condition for the cylinder resting on a surface is that the net horizontal force is zero. Since the liquids are on opposite sides,the forces are $F_1 = \frac{1}{2}(2\rho)gh^2$ and $F_2 = \frac{1}{2}(3\rho)g(R^2)$. Thus,$2h^2 = 3R^2$,which gives $h = R\sqrt{3/2}$.

(D) The gate is a semi-cylinder of radius $R$ and length $l$. The pressure at a depth $h$ from the free surface is $P = \rho g h$.
Consider an elemental strip of the gate at an angle $\theta$ with the vertical,having width $R d\theta$ and length $l$. The depth of this strip from the free surface is $h = R(1 - \cos\theta)$.
The pressure on this strip is $P = \rho g R(1 - \cos\theta)$.
The force on this elemental strip is $dF_p = P \cdot dA = \rho g R(1 - \cos\theta) \cdot (l R d\theta) = \rho g R^2 l (1 - \cos\theta) d\theta$.
The torque $d\tau$ due to this force about the pivot $O$ is $d\tau = dF_p \cdot R \sin\theta = \rho g R^3 l (1 - \cos\theta) \sin\theta d\theta$.
To find the total torque $\tau$ about $O$,we integrate from $\theta = 0$ to $\pi$:
$\tau = \int_{0}^{\pi} \rho g R^3 l (\sin\theta - \sin\theta \cos\theta) d\theta = \rho g R^3 l [-\cos\theta - \frac{\sin^2\theta}{2}]_{0}^{\pi} = \rho g R^3 l [(-(-1) - 0) - (-1 - 0)] = 2 \rho g R^3 l$.
The force $F$ is applied at the bottom edge,which is at a distance $R$ from the pivot $O$. Thus,the torque due to $F$ is $\tau_F = F \cdot R$.
Equating the torques: $F \cdot R = 2 \rho g R^3 l$,which gives $F = 2 \rho g R^2 l$.

(A) Let the length of the rod immersed in water be $x$. The length of the rod extending out of water is $(2L - x)$.
For rotational equilibrium about the point where the string is attached,the torque due to the buoyant force must balance the torque due to the weight of the rod.
The buoyant force $B$ acts at the center of the submerged part,which is at a distance $x/2$ from the submerged end,or $(2L - x/2)$ from the pivot.
The weight $mg$ acts at the center of the rod,which is at a distance $L$ from the pivot.
Taking moments about the pivot:
$B(2L - x/2) \cos \theta = mg(L \cos \theta)$
Since $B = \rho_w A x g$ and $mg = \rho_{rod} A (2L) g$,where $\rho_{rod} = 0.75 \rho_w$:
$\rho_w A x g (2L - x/2) \cos \theta = 0.75 \rho_w A (2L) g (L \cos \theta)$
$x(2L - x/2) = 0.75(2L^2)$
$2Lx - x^2/2 = 1.5L^2$
Multiplying by $2$:
$4Lx - x^2 = 3L^2$
$x^2 - 4Lx + 3L^2 = 0$
$(x - L)(x - 3L) = 0$
Since $x$ must be less than $2L$,we have $x = L$.
The length of the rod extending out of water is $2L - x = 2L - L = L$.

(A) According to the continuity equation, $A(x)v(x) = \text{constant}$, where $A(x)$ is the cross-sectional area and $v(x)$ is the velocity of the fluid.
Since the area $A(x)$ increases linearly with $x$, we can write $A(x) = A_0 + kx$ (where $k > 0$).
Thus, the velocity $v(x) = \frac{\text{constant}}{A_0 + kx}$.
From Bernoulli's equation for a horizontal tube, $P(x) + \frac{1}{2}\rho v(x)^2 = \text{constant}$.
Therefore, $P(x) = \text{constant} - \frac{1}{2}\rho \left(\frac{C}{A_0 + kx}\right)^2$, where $C$ is a constant.
As $x$ increases, the denominator $(A_0 + kx)^2$ increases, which means the term $\frac{1}{2}\rho v(x)^2$ decreases.
Consequently, the pressure $P(x)$ must increase as $x$ increases.
Since $P(x)$ is inversely proportional to the square of a linear function of $x$, the curve of $P$ versus $x$ will be increasing and concave down, which matches the shape shown in Graph $A$.

(C) The rate of change of volume of water in the tank is given by the difference between the rate of inflow and the rate of outflow.
$A \frac{dh}{dt} = a_1 v_1 - a_2 \sqrt{2gh}$
Given $A = 4000 \ cm^2 = 0.4 \ m^2$,$a_1 = 1 \ cm^2 = 10^{-4} \ m^2$,$v_1 = 2 \ m/s$,$a_2 = 0.5 \ cm^2 = 0.5 \times 10^{-4} \ m^2$,and $g = 10 \ m/s^2$.
At steady state,the rate of inflow equals the rate of outflow,so $\frac{dh}{dt} = 0$.
$a_1 v_1 = a_2 \sqrt{2gh_{steady}}$
$1 \times 10^{-4} \times 2 = 0.5 \times 10^{-4} \sqrt{2 \times 10 \times h_{steady}}$
$2 = 0.5 \sqrt{20 h_{steady}}$
$4 = \sqrt{20 h_{steady}}$
$16 = 20 h_{steady}$
$h_{steady} = \frac{16}{20} = 0.8 \ m$.
As $t$ increases,the water level $h$ increases from $0$ and approaches the steady-state value of $0.8 \ m$. The rate of increase $\frac{dh}{dt}$ decreases as $h$ increases because the efflux velocity increases. Thus,the curve is concave downwards,approaching $0.8 \ m$ asymptotically. This corresponds to the graph in option $C$.

(C) The rate of collection of water is given by the flux of the rain velocity vector through the opening area,which is $dV/dt = v \cdot A_{\text{effective}}$,where $A_{\text{effective}}$ is the projection of the opening area perpendicular to the direction of rain.
For the first container,the opening is an ellipse with area $A_1$. The angle between the normal to the area $A_1$ and the vertical is $30^{\circ}$. The rain is falling at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the vertical. Thus,the angle between the normal to the area $A_1$ and the rain direction is $60^{\circ} - 30^{\circ} = 30^{\circ}$. The effective area is $A_1 \cos(30^{\circ}) = A_1 \sqrt{3}/2$. Since $A_1 = A / \cos(30^{\circ}) = A / (\sqrt{3}/2) = 2A/\sqrt{3}$,the effective area is $(2A/\sqrt{3}) \times (\sqrt{3}/2) = A$.
For the second container,the opening is a circle of area $A$ perpendicular to the vertical. The rain falls at $60^{\circ}$ to the vertical. The effective area is $A \cos(60^{\circ}) = A/2$.
The ratio of the rates of collection is $(A \cdot v) / ((A/2) \cdot v) = 2$.

(D) According to the equation of continuity, $A_1v_1 = A_2v_2$. When the cross-sectional area $A$ of the duct decreases, the velocity $v$ of the water must increase to maintain a constant flow rate.
According to Bernoulli's principle for horizontal flow, $p + \frac{1}{2}\rho v^2 = \text{constant}$. This implies that where the velocity $v$ increases, the pressure $p$ must decrease.
In the given duct, the cross-section is initially constant, then it narrows (the neck), and finally, it becomes constant again. Therefore, the pressure will be constant in the wide sections and will decrease in the narrow section (the neck) where the velocity is higher.
Thus, the graph in option $D$ correctly represents this behavior.

(D) Consider a fluid element of mass $m$ at the surface. The forces acting on it are gravity ($mg$ downwards),pseudo force ($ma$ backwards),and the normal force from the fluid below (perpendicular to the surface).
For the surface to be in equilibrium in the non-inertial frame of the beaker,the net force must be perpendicular to the surface.
The slope of the water surface is given by $\tan \theta = \frac{\text{vertical force}}{\text{horizontal force}} = \frac{ma}{mg} = \frac{a}{g}$.
Thus,$\theta = \tan^{-1}(a/g)$.
Since the beaker accelerates in the $+x$ direction,the water level rises at the back and falls at the front,making the angle $\theta$ with the horizontal towards the back of the beaker.
Note that $\tan^{-1}(a/g) = \cot^{-1}(g/a)$,so both options $A$ and $C$ represent the same physical angle.

(D) $1$. The pressure at the base of the vessel is given by $P = \rho g H$,where $H = 2h$. Thus,$P = 2h\rho g$.
$2$. The force $F$ exerted by the liquid on the base is $F = P \times A = 2h\rho gA$.
$3$. The volume of the lower section is $V_1 = A \times h$. The volume of the upper conical frustum section is $V_2 = \frac{h}{3}(A + a + \sqrt{Aa})$. The total weight of the liquid is $W = \rho g(V_1 + V_2) = \rho g(Ah + \frac{h}{3}(A + a + \sqrt{Aa}))$.
$4$. Comparing $F$ and $W$,since the vessel narrows towards the top,the walls exert an upward force on the liquid,meaning the weight $W$ is less than the force $F$ on the base $(F > W)$.
$5$. The net downward force on the liquid is $W + F_{wall, downward} = F$. Since the walls exert an upward force,the force exerted by the walls on the liquid is $W - F$,which is negative,implying an upward force of magnitude $F - W$.

(D) The thrust exerted by the water on the wall is equal to the rate of change of linear momentum.
Thrust $F = \frac{dp}{dt} = \dot{m}v$,where $\dot{m}$ is the mass flow rate.
Since $\dot{m} = \rho A v$,we have $F = (\rho A v) v = \rho A v^2$.
Thus,$F \propto v^2$. When speed is increased from $v$ to $2v$,the thrust becomes $(2)^2 = 4$ times the original value.
Energy lost per second $P = \frac{1}{2} \dot{m} v^2 = \frac{1}{2} (\rho A v) v^2 = \frac{1}{2} \rho A v^3$.
Thus,$P \propto v^3$. When speed is increased from $v$ to $2v$,the energy lost per second becomes $(2)^3 = 8$ times the original value.
Therefore,both options $B$ and $C$ are correct.

(D) The height of the liquid column in a capillary tube is given by the ascent formula: $h = \frac{2T \cos \theta}{r \rho g}$.
Here,$T$ is the surface tension,$\theta$ is the angle of contact,$r$ is the radius of the tube,$\rho$ is the density of the liquid,and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity.
For water,the angle of contact $\theta$ is acute,resulting in a concave meniscus and a positive height $h$ (rise).
For a soap-water solution,the surface tension $T$ is significantly lower than that of pure water. Since $h \propto T$,the height of the soap solution column will be less than the height of the water column.
Both water and soap solution wet the glass,so both will form a concave meniscus (concave upwards) in the capillary tube.
Therefore,the correct representation shows both tubes with concave menisci,but with the liquid level in tube $(B)$ lower than in tube $(A)$.

(C) Given the density condition: $\rho_{\text{oil}} < \rho < \rho_{\text{water}}$.
$1$. Since oil is less dense than water,it will float on top of the water layer.
$2$. The ball has a density $\rho$ that is greater than the density of oil $(\rho > \rho_{\text{oil}})$,so it will sink through the oil layer.
$3$. The ball has a density $\rho$ that is less than the density of water $(\rho < \rho_{\text{water}})$,so it will float on the water layer.
$4$. Consequently,the ball will come to rest at the interface between the oil and the water,partially submerged in both. This corresponds to the configuration where the oil is on top and the water is at the bottom,with the ball at the boundary.

(A) The height difference $\Delta h$ of the liquid in a rotating cylindrical vessel is given by the formula $\Delta h = \frac{\omega^2 R^2}{2g}$.
Given:
Radius $R = 0.05\, m = \frac{1}{20}\, m$.
Frequency $f = 2\, rev/s$.
Angular velocity $\omega = 2\pi f = 2\pi \times 2 = 4\pi\, rad/s$.
Acceleration due to gravity $g = 10\, ms^{-2}$.
Using $\pi^2 = 10$:
$\Delta h = \frac{(4\pi)^2 \times (1/20)^2}{2 \times 10} = \frac{16 \times \pi^2 \times (1/400)}{20} = \frac{16 \times 10}{400 \times 20} = \frac{160}{8000} = 0.02\, m$.
Converting to centimeters: $0.02\, m = 0.02 \times 100\, cm = 2\, cm$.
