(4) angle of contact between the surface and the liquid

An engine pumps water continuously through a hose. Water leaves the hose with a velocity \(v\) and \(m\) is the mass per unit length of the water jet. What is the rate at which kinetic energy is imparted to water?

1. \(\dfrac{1}{2} m v^{3}\)                                   

2. \(m v^{3}\)

3. \(\dfrac{1}{2} m v^{2}\)                                   

4. \(\dfrac{1}{2} m^{2} v^{2}\)

Two bodies are in equilibrium when suspended in water from the arms of a balance. The mass of one body is \(36~\text g\) and its density is \(9~\text{g/cm}^3.\) If the mass of the other is \(48~\text g,\) its density in \((\text{g/cm}^3)\) will be:
1. \(\frac{4}{3}\)
2. \(\frac{3}{2}\)
3. \(3\)
4. \(5\)
