When a solid is completely immersed in a fluid, the apparent loss of weight of solid is _______ volume of fluid displaced 

  1. more than

  2. less than

  3. equal to

  4. cant say


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

From the principle of Archimedes, loss of weight is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced.

When a body is fully immersed in a liquid the apparent loss in the weight of body is equal to :

  1. volume of liquid displaced by the body

  2. density of the liquid

  3. weight of liquid displaced by the body

  4. none of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

According to Archimedes principle, the weight of water displaced is equal to the weight of immersed part.For a solid floating in a liquid, its weight acting vertically down at its centre of gravity is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the immersed part of the solid acting vertically up at its centre of buoyancy. In the floating condition, the apparent weight and the apparent density of the solid are zero and the body is said to be weightless.

State whether the weight of an iron sinker with cork combined in water will be more or less than that of the iron sinker alone in water.

  3. Water pressure in the second floor room is approximately $3.33$ atmosphere

  4. Water pressure in the second floor room is $3.50$ atmosphere


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$4 \times 10^5 + \dfrac{1}{2} \times 1000 \times (1.5)^2 = P _2 + \dfrac{1}{2} \times 1000 \times (6)^2 + 1000 \times 10 \times 5$

$10^3 \left(400 + \dfrac{g}{\theta} \right) = P _2 + 10^3 (10 + 50)$

$P _2 = 10^3 \left(\dfrac{320 \,g}{\theta} - 6\theta \right)$

$= 10^3 \left(\dfrac{320 \,g - 544}{\theta}\right)$

= $10^3 \dfrac{2665}{\theta}$

$= 10^3 \times 333$
$= 3.33 \,atm$

  2. radius of the vessel.

  3. one-fifth of the radius of the vessel.

  4. three-fourth of the radius of the vessel.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

If $h$ is the height of liquid in cylinder, $r$ be the radius of the cylinder and $\rho$ be the density of the liquid. then we have
weight of the liquid $=\pi { r }^{ 2 }h\rho g          ....... (I)$
Mean pressure on the wall $=\frac{1}{2} \rho g h $
force on the wall $=\frac{1}{2} \rho g h \times 2 \pi r h=\pi r \rho g h^2          ....... (II)$
On equating $(I)$ and $(II)$ we have
$\pi { r }^{ 2 }h\rho g=\pi r \rho g h^2$
$\Rightarrow r=h$
i.e. the liquid should be filled up-to a height equal to the radius of the cylinder.

Correct Option: C

To what height h should a cylindrical vessel of diameter d be filled with a liquid so that the total force on the vertical surface of the vessel be equal to the force on the bottom-

  1. $h=d$

  2. $h=2d$

  3. $h=3d$

  4. $h=d/2$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

If we fill the cylinder upto a height h, the force exerted on at the bottom of the cylinder would be equal to F = PA


$ F = \rho gh \times \pi d^2/4 $

Similarly, the average force exerted along the sides of the cylinder will be because of half the height filled for the cylinder.

Therefore, $ F = \rho g h/2 \times \pi d h $

Equating the 2 forces, and solving for h, gives h = d/2

The height of liquid in a cylindrical vessel of diameter $d$ so that the total force on the vertical surface of the vessel be equal to the force on the bottom, will be:

  1. $d$

  2. $2d$

  3. $4d$

  4. $\cfrac{d}{2}$


Correct Option: D

What should be the height of liquid in a cylindrical vessel of diameter d so that the total force on the vertical surface of the vessel be equal to the force on the bottom,

  1. $d$

  2. $2d$

  3. $4d$

  4. $\dfrac{d}{2}$


Correct Option: D

To what height should a cylindrical vessel be filled with a homogeneous liquid to make the force with which the liquid pressure on the sides of the vessel equal to the force exerted by the liquid on the bottom of the vessel?

  1. Equal to the radius.

  2. Less than radius

  3. More than radius

  4. Four times of radius


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
If  $h$ is the height of liquid in cylinder, $r $ be the radius of the cylinder and $ ρ$ be the density of the liquid.

Then we have
Weight of the liquid $=\pi r^2h \rho g$........................................(I)
Mean pressure on the wall $=\dfrac12 \rho  gh$

The total force on the wall =  $ 2\pi rh \times \dfrac12 \rho  gh= \pi rh^2\rho g $....................................(2)

On equating (I) and (2) we have
$\pi r^2h \rho g=\pi rh^2\rho g $
$r=h$
$\therefore$ The liquid should be filled up-to a height equal to the radius of the cylinder.

The efflux velocity of a liquid of density $1500 kg m^{-3} $ from a tank in which the pressure of liquid is $1000pa$ above the atmosphere is :

  1. $115 ms^{-1} $

  2. $11.5 ms^{-1} $

  3. $0.115 ms^{-1} $

  4. $1.15 ms^{-1} $


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The velocity of a liquid is given as,

$v = \sqrt {2gh} $

$v = \sqrt {2g \times \frac{{\Delta P}}{{\rho g}}} $

$v = \sqrt {2 \times \frac{{1000}}{{1500}}} $

$v = 1.15\;{\rm{m/s}}$

A small hollow vessel open to atmosphere having a small circular hole radius $R\ mm$  in its base is immersed in a tank of water.

  1. $\dfrac {2T}{\rho g R}$

  2. $\dfrac {T}{\rho g R}$

  3. $\dfrac {T}{4\rho g R}$

  4. $\dfrac {4T}{\rho g R}$


Correct Option: A

A cylindrical vessel filled with water up to the height H becomes empty in time $ t _0 $ due to a small  hole at the bottom of the vessel. if water is filled to a height 4 H it will flow out in time 

  1. $ t _0 $

  2. $ 4t _0 $

  3. $ 8t _0 $

  4. $ 2t _0 $


Correct Option: B

A tank with a square base of area 2 m$^2$ is divided into two compartments by a vertical partition in the middle. There is a small hinged door of face area 20 cm$^2$ at the bottom of the partition. Water is filled in one compartment and an acid of relative density 1.53 x 10 kg m$^{-3}$ in the other, both to a height of 4 m. The force necessary to keep the door closed is (Take g = 10 m s$^{-2}$)

  1. 10 N

  2. 20 N

  3. 40 N

  4. 80 N


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The situation is as shown in the figure.
For compartment contain water,
$h = 4 m, \rho _w = 10^3\, kg \,m^{-3}$
Pressure exerted by the water at the door at the bottom is
$P _w=\rho _w hg  $

$=10^3\,kg \,m^{-3} \times 4 \,m \times 10 \,m s^{-2}$
$= 4 \times 10^4\,N\,m^{-2}$
For compartment containing acid.
$\rho _a =1.5 \times 10^3\, kg\, m^{-3}, h = 4 \,m$
Pressure exerted by the acid at the door at the bottom is
$P _a=\rho _ahg $
$= 1.5 \times 10^3\,kg \,m^{-3} \times 4\,m \times 10\,m\,s^{-2} $
$= 6 \times 10^4\,N\,m^{-2}$
$\therefore$ Net pressure on the door =$P _a - P _w = (6  \times 10^4 - 4 \times 10^4) N \,m^{-2}$

$= 2 \times 10^4 \,N \,m^{-2}$
Area of the door $= 20 cm^2 = 20 \times 10^{-4} m^2$
$\therefore$ Force on the door$= 2 \times 10^4 N m^{-2} \times 20 \times 10^{-4} m^2 = 40 N$
Thus, to keep the door dosed the force of $40 N$ must be applied horizontally from the water side.

A vessel, whose bottom has round holes with diameter 0.1 mm, is filled with water. The maximum height up to which water can be filled without leakage is:

  1. 100 cm

  2. 75 cm

  3. 50 cm

  4. 30 cm


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Sln :
For equilibrium,
Total upward force by surface tension 
= Weight of the water in tube
$\Rightarrow \, \pi \, \times \, D \, \times$ surface tension (circumference)
$= \, \pi(D/2)^2 \, \times \, h \, \times \, density \, \times \, g(cross \, section)$
where D (diameter) = 0.1 mm = 0.01 cm
Density of water = 1 $\times \, 10^{-3} \, gcm^3$
$\Rightarrow \, \pi \, \times \, (0.01) \, \times \, 75 \, \times \, 10^{-3}$
$= \, \pi \times \, \left(\dfrac{0.01}{2} \right)^2 \, \times \, h \, \times \, 1 \, \times \, 10^{-3} \, \times \, 1000$
$\therefore \, h = \, \dfrac{0.75 \, \times \, 0.01 \, \times \, 4}{0.01 \, \times \, 0.01}$ = 0.3 m = 30 cm
