The thickness of the ice layer on the surface of lake is 20 m. A hole is made in the ice layer. What is the minimum length of the rope required to take a bucket full of water out ? (Take density of ice `= 0.9 xx 10^3 kg//m^3)`A. 2 mB. 5 mC. 9 mD. 18 m

Answer» Correct Answer - A
(a) Given that density of ice ` = (9)/(10)xx` density of water, so only `(1)/(10)` the of ice will be outside the water. This means that `20 xx (1)/(10) = 2m`of ice layer will be above the water surface. In other words, in the hole, the water level will rise up to 18 m of the ice layer. So minimum length of rope required = 2m.

A ball of weight `W` is supported on a vertical jet of water. If the stream of water flowing from the nozzle has a diameter `D` and velocity `u`, determine the value of `H`. Assume that no loss of energy takes place.

Answer» Correct Answer - `1/(2g)`
Applying continuity equation at nozzle end at a top position
`a_(1)u=a_(2)v`
`v=(a_(1)u)/(a_(2))`…..i
`v^(2)-u^(2)=-2gH`
`implies H=1/(2g) {u^(2)-[W/(rhoa_(1)^(2)u)]^(2)}`…….ii
`implies rhoa_(2)v^(2)=Wimplies v=W/(rhoa_(1)u)`
`implies (rhoa_(2)u)/W=1/vimpliesv^(2)=W/(rhoa_(1)u)`
`impliesH=1/(2g) {u^(2)-[W/(rhoa_(1)^(2)u)]^(2)}`
`=1/(2g){u^(2)-[(4D)/(rhopiD^(2)u)]^(2)}`

Figure shows an open tube which contains some water and a less dense liquid poured ino the right hand side. If the density of the unknown liquid is `rho_(x)`, show that `rho_(x)=(rho_(w)h_(w))/(h_(x))`

Answer» Consider levels `D` and `A` in the tube. If the pressures at `D` and `A` are not equal, then water would flow. Since water does no flow, the pressures at `D` and `A` are equal.
`P_(A)=P_(atm)=rho_(w)gh_(w)` and `P_(D)=P_(atm)+rho_(x)gh_(x)`
Equating `P_(A)` and `P_(D)` we obtain
`rho_(x)=(rho_(w)h_(w))/(h_(x))`

Statement II: The magnitude of buoyant force on a brick completely submerged in water is equal to the magnitude of weight of water it displaced and does not depend on the depth of the brick in water.A. Statement I is true, statement II is true and Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I.B. Statement I is true, Statement II is true and Statement II is NOT the correct explanation for Statement I.C. Statement I is true, Statement II is false.D. Statement I is false, Statement II is true.

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Since the net buoyant force on the brick completely submerged, in water is independent of its depth below the water surface, the man will have to exert the same force on both the bricks. Hence, statement I is true, Statement II is true, statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I.

We have two different liquids `A` and `B` whose relative densities are `0.75` and `1.0`, respectively. If we dip solid objects `P` and `Q` having relative densities `0.6` and `0.9` in these liquids, thenA. `P` floats in `A` and `Q` sinks in `B`B. `P` sinks in `A` and `Q` floats in `B`C. `P` floats in `B` and `Q` sinks in `A`D. `P` sinks in `B` and `Q` floats in `A`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
The relative density of object `P` is less than the relative density of both the given liquids. So , `P` will float in both the liquids .The relative density of `Q` is higher than the relative of liquid `A`. So `Q` sinks in `A`.
