A rectangular film of liquid is extended from \((4~\text{cm} \times2 ~\text{cm})\) to \((5 ~\text{cm}\times 4 ~\text{cm})\). If the work done is \(3 \times 10^{-4}~\text{J},\) the value of the surface tension of the liquid is:
1. \(0.25\) N/m
2. \(0.125\) N/m
3. \(0.2\) N/m
4. \(8.0\) N/m
Water rises to a height h in capillary tube . If the length of capillary tube above the surface of water is made less than h, then
1. water rises upto the tip of capillary tube and then starts overflowing like a fountain
2. water rises upto the top of capillary tube and stays there without overflowing
3. water rises upto a point a little below the top and stays there
4. water does not rise at all

2. 20 m
3. 60 m
4. 30 m

1. \(\frac{4}{3}\)
2. \(\frac{3}{2}\)
3. \(3\)
4. \(5\)
An inverted bell lying at the bottom of a lake 47.6 m deep has 50 cm3 of air trapped in it. The bell is brought to the surface of the lake. The volume of the trapped air will be (atmospheric pressure = 70 cm of Hg and density of Hg = 13.6 g/cm3)

2. 300 cm3
3. 250 cm3
4. 22 cm3

3. 1.25 km
4. 750 m
Equal masses of water and a liquid of relative density \(2\) are mixed together, then the mixture has a density of:
1. \(\dfrac{2}{3}\)
2. \(\dfrac{4}{3}\)
3. \(\dfrac{3}{2}\)
4. \(3\)
The value of g at a place decreases by 2%. The barometric height of mercury
1. Increases by 2%
2. Decreases by 2%
3. Remains unchanged
4. Sometimes increases and sometimes decreases
A barometer kept in a stationary elevator reads \(76~\text{cm}\). If the elevator starts accelerating up, the reading will be:
1. Zero
