Water rises to a height ‘h’ in the capillary tube. If the length of the capillary tube is made less than ‘h’, then,

1. Water rises up to the tip of the capillary tube and then starts overflowing like a fountain.

2. Water rises up to the top of the capillary tube and stays there without overflowing.

3. Water rises up to a point little below the top and stays there.

4. Water does not rise at all.

A wind with a speed of \(40~\text{m/s}\) blows parallel to the roof of a house. The area of the roof is \(250~\text{m}^2.\) Assuming that the pressure inside the house is atmospheric pressure, the force exerted by the wind on the roof and the direction of the force will be:
\((\rho_{\text {air }}=1.2~\text{kg/m}^3)\)

A certain number of spherical drops of a liquid of radius \({r}\) coalesce to form a single drop of radius \({R}\) and volume \({V}.\) If \({T}\) is the surface tension of the liquid, then:

1. the energy \(= 4{VT}\left( \frac{1}{{r}} - \frac{1}{{R}}\right)\) is released.
2. the energy \(={ 3{VT}\left( \frac{1}{{r}} + \frac{1}{{R}}\right)}\) is released.
3. the energy \(={ 3{VT}\left( \frac{1}{{r}} - \frac{1}{{R}}\right)}\) is released.
4. the energy is neither released nor absorbed.

A soap bubble, having a radius of \(1~\text{mm}\), is blown from a detergent solution having a surface tension of \(2.5\times 10^{-2}~\text{N/m}\). The pressure inside the bubble equals at a point \(Z_0\) below the free surface of the water in a container. Taking \(g = 10~\text{m/s}^{2}\), the density of water \(= 10^{3}~\text{kg/m}^3\), the value of \(Z_0\) is:
1. \(0.5~\text{cm}\)
2. \(100~\text{cm}\)
3. \(10~\text{cm}\)

Two non-mixing liquids of densities \(\rho\) and \(n\rho\) \((n>1)\) are put in a container. The height of each liquid is \(h.\) A solid cylinder of length \(L\) and density \(d\) is put in this container. The cylinder floats with its axis vertical and length \(rL~(r<1))\) in the denser liquid. The density \(d\) is equal to:
1. \([2+(n+1)r ]\rho\)
2. \([2+(n-1)r] \rho\)
3. \([1+(n-1)r] \rho\)

They are made to fall vertically (from rest) in a viscous medium whose coefficient of viscosity equals \(\eta\) and whose density is \(0.1\rho_2\). The ratio of their terminal velocities would be:
