A cork is submerged in water by a spring attached to the bottom of a bowl. When the bowl is kept in an elevator moving with acceleration downwards, the length of spring

1. Increases                                         

2. Decreases

3. Remains unchanged                         

4. None of these

If two pieces of metal when immersed in a liquid have equal upthrust on them, then:

In which one of the following cases will the liquid flow in a pipe be most streamlined  ?

1. Liquid of high viscosity and high density flowing through a pipe of small radius

2. Liquid of high viscosity and low density flowing through a pipe of small radius

3. Liquid of low viscosity and low density flowing through a pipe of large radius

4. Liquid of low viscosity and high density flowing through a pipe of large radius

An incompressible liquid flows through a horizontal tube as shown in the following fig. Then the velocity v of the fluid is

1. 3.0 m/s                          

2. 1.5 m/s                     

3. 1.0 m/s                             

4. 2.25 m/s

The following figure shows the flow of liquid through a horizontal pipe. Three tubes \(A,\) \(B\) and \(C\) are connected to the pipe. The radii of the tubes  \(A,\) \(B\) and \(C\) at the junction are respectively \(2~\text{cm},1~\text{cm}\) and \(2~\text{cm}.\) It can be said that:

A manometer connected to a closed tap reads $3.5\times {10}^5 \mathrm{N}/{\mathrm{m}}^2$. When the valve is opened, the reading of manometer falls to $3.0\times {10}^5 \mathrm{N}/{\mathrm{m}}^2$ , then velocity of flow of water is

1. 100 m/s                                       

2. 10 m/s

3. 1 m/s                                           

4. $10\sqrt{10}$ m/s

A large tank filled with water to a height ‘h’ is to be emptied through a small hole at the bottom. The ratio of time taken for the level of water to fall from h to $\frac{\mathrm{h}}{2}$ and from $\frac{\mathrm{h}}{2}$ to zero is

1. $\sqrt{2}$                                               

2. $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

3. $\sqrt{2}-1$                                         

4. $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}-1}$

A cylinder of height 20 m is completely filled with water. The velocity of efflux of water (in m/s) through a small hole on the side wall of the cylinder near its bottom is

2. 20

3. 25.5
