The cylindrical tube of a spray pump has a cross-section of \(8.0\) cm2 one end of which has \(40\) fine holes each of diameter \(1.0\) mm. If the liquid flow inside the tube is \(1.5\) m-min–1, the speed of ejection of the liquid through the holes is:
1. \(0.64\) ms-1
2. \(0.74\) ms-1
3. \(0.54\) ms-1
4. \(0.84\) ms-1
A U-shaped wire is dipped in a soap solution and removed. The thin soap film formed between the wire and the light slider supports a weight of \(1.5\times10^{-2}\) N (which includes the small weight of the slider). The length of the slider is \(30\) cm. The surface tension of the film is:
1. | \(3.5\times10^{-2}\) Nm–1 | 2. | \(2.5\times10^{-2}\) Nm–1 |
3. | \(3.5\times10^{-3}\) Nm–1 | 4. | \(2.5\times10^{-3}\) Nm–1 |
What is the pressure inside the drop of mercury of radius 3.00 mm at room temperature? The surface tension of mercury at that temperature () is 4.65 × 10–1 N m–1. The atmospheric pressure is 1.01 × 105 Pa.
The blades of a windmill sweep out a circle of area A. If the wind flows at a velocity v perpendicular to the circle, what is the mass of the air passing through it in time t?
