The weight of an aeroplane flying in the air is balanced by
1. Vertical component of the thrust created by air currents striking the lower surface of the wings
2. Force due to reaction of gases ejected by the revolving propeller
3. Upthrust of the air which will be equal to the weight of the air having the same volume as the plane
4. Force due to the pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the wings created by different air speeds on the surfaces
If there were a smaller gravitational effect, which of the following forces do you think would alter in some respect?
1. Viscous forces
2. Archimedes uplift
3. Electrostatic force
4. None of the above
A U tube with both ends open to the atmosphere,is partially filled with water. Oil, which is immiscible with water, is poured into one side until it stands at a distance of 10mm above the water level on the other side. Meanwhile the water rises by 65 mm from its original level (see diagram). The density of the oil is

A wind with speed \(40~\text{m/s}\) blows parallel to the roof of a house. The area of the roof is \(250~\text{m}^2\).
