A ball whose density is $0.4\times {10}^3 \mathrm{kg}/{\mathrm{m}}^3$ falls into water from a height of 9 cm . To what depth does the ball sink
(a) 9 cm                                   
(b) 6 cm
(c) 4.5 cm                               
(d) 2.25 cm

Two solids A and B float in water. It is observed that A floats with $\frac{1}{2}$ of its body immersed in water and B floats with $\frac{1}{4}$ of its volume above the water level. The ratio of the density of A to that of B is
1. 4 : 3                                  2. 2 : 3
3. 3 : 4                                  4. 1 : 2

A boat carrying steel balls is floating on the surface of water in a tank. If the balls are thrown into the tank one by one, how will it affect the level of water?

Two pieces of metal when immersed in a liquid have equal upthrust on them; then

(1) Both pieces must have equal weights

(2) Both pieces must have equal densities

(3) Both pieces must have equal volumes

(4) Both are floating to the same depth

A candle of diameter \(d\) is floating on a liquid in a cylindrical container of diameter \(D(D>>d)\) as shown in the figure. If it is burning at the rate of \(2~\text{cm/hour}\) then the top of the candle will:
            

Construction of submarines is based on

(2) Bernoulli’s theorem

(3) Pascal’s law                             

(4) Newton’s laws

Two water pipes of diameters 2 cm and 4 cm are connected with the main supply line. The velocity of flow of water in the pipe of 2 cm diameter is -

(1) 4 times that in the other pipe

(2) 3 times that in the other pipe

(3) 2 times that in the other pipe

(4) 6 times that in the other pipe

An incompressible liquid flows through a horizontal tube as shown in the following fig. Then the velocity v of the fluid is

(2) 1.5 m/s                     

(3) 1.0 m/s                             

(4) 2.25 m/s

The velocity of kerosene oil in a horizontal pipe is \(5 ~\text{m/s}.\) If \(g = 10 ~\text{m/s} ^2 ,\) then the velocity head of oil will be:
1. \(1.25 ~\text m\)
2. \(12.5 ~\text m\)
3. \(0.125 ~\text m\)       
4. \(125 ~\text m\)
