The height of a mercury barometer is 75 cm at sea level and 50 cm at the top of a hill. Ratio of density of mercury to that of air is ${10}^4$. The height of the hill is
1. 250 m                             

2. 2.5 km

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. \(3\)

A body of density ${\mathrm{d}}_1$ is counterpoised by Mg of weights of density ${\mathrm{d}}_2$ in air of density d. Then the true mass of the body is

1. M                                   

2. $\mathrm{M}\left(1-\frac{\mathrm{d}}{{\mathrm{d}}_2}\right)$

3. $\mathrm{M}\left(1-\frac{\mathrm{d}}{{\mathrm{d}}_1}\right)$                       

4. $\frac{\mathrm{M}(1-\mathrm{d}/{\mathrm{d}}_2)}{(1-\mathrm{d}/{\mathrm{d}}_1)}$

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 cm. If the elevator starts accelerating up, the reading will be
1. Zero                                       

2. Equal to 76 cm

3. More than 76 cm                     

4. Less than 76 cm

A closed rectangular tank is completely filled with water and is accelerated horizontally with an acceleration a towards right. Pressure is (i) maximum at, and (ii) minimum at

1. (i) B (ii) D

2. (i) C (ii) D

3. (i) B (ii) C

4. (i) B (ii) A

A beaker containing a liquid is kept inside a big closed jar. If the air inside the jar is continuously pumped out, the pressure in the liquid near the bottom of the beaker will
1. Increase
2. Decrease
3. Remain constant
4. First decrease and then increase

A vertical \(\mathrm{U}\)-tube of uniform inner cross-section contains mercury in both its arms. A glycerin (density\(=1.3\) g/cm³) column of length \(10\) cm is introduced into one of its arms. Oil of density \(0.8\) g/cm³  is poured into the other arm until the upper surfaces of the oil and glycerin are at the same horizontal level. The length of the oil column is:
(density of mercury \(=13.6\) g/cm³)
                       
1. \(10.4\) cm
2. \(8.2\) cm
3. \(7.2\) cm
4. \(9.6\) cm

A triangular lamina of area A and height h is immersed in a liquid of density $\mathrm{\rho }$ in a vertical plane with its base on the surface of the liquid. The thrust on the lamina is:
1. $\frac{1}{2}\mathrm{A\rho gh}$                 

2. $\frac{1}{3}\mathrm{A\rho gh}$

3. $\frac{1}{6}\mathrm{A\rho gh}$                 

4. $\frac{2}{3}\mathrm{A\rho gh}$
