Question 1.


Which of the following processes will be least affected by the viscosity of water ?


  1.     Water flowing through a pipe
  2.     Air bubble rising up through water
  3.     A wide, shallow sheet of water flowing on a flat surface
  4.     Water flowing out through a hole in the side of a tank
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Water flowing out through a hole in the side of a tank
:
D

When water flows out of a hole in a tank, it is in contact with the edges of the hole over a very small area, and therefore viscosity effects are small


Question 2.


An air bubble of radius 5mm rises through a vat of syrup at a steady speed of 4mm/s. If the syrup has a density of 1.4×103kg/m3, what is its viscosity?


  1.     1.15 kg/m-s
  2.     15kg/m-s
  3.     2.25 kg/m-s
  4.     19.05 kg/m-s 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 19.05 kg/m-s 
:
D

In this case the terminal velocity is upward. Since σ>ρ, the density of the air


inside the bubble may be neglected completely.


From equation 


v=2a2(σρ)ggη=2a2ρg9ηη=2a2ρg9v


where, a = 5mm, ρ=1.4×103kg/m3,v=4mm/s


η=2×25×106×1.4×103×9.89×4×103kg/ms=19.05kg/ms


Hence, (D) is correct. 


 


 


Question 3.


Which of the following processes will be least affected by the viscosity of water ?


  1.     Water flowing through a pipe
  2.     Air bubble rising up through water
  3.     A wide, shallow sheet of water flowing on a flat surface
  4.     Water flowing out through a hole in the side of a tank
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Water flowing out through a hole in the side of a tank
:
D

When water flows out of a hole in a tank, it is in contact with the edges of the hole over a very small area, and therefore viscosity effects are small


Question 4.


A square plate of 0.1 m side moves parallel to a second plate with a velocity of 0.1 m/s, both plates being immersed in water. If the viscous force is 0.002 N and the coefficient of viscosity is 0.01 poise, distance between the plates in m is


 


  1.     0.1
  2.     0.05
  3.     0.005
  4.     0.0005
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 0.0005
:
D

A=(0.1)2=0.01m2, η=0.01 Poise = 0.001 decapoise (M.K.S. unit),


dv=0.1 m/s and F = 0.002 N


F=ηAdvdx   dx=ηAdvF=0.001×0.01×0.10.002=0.0005m


Question 5.


A metallic block of density 5 gm cm3 and having dimensions 5 cm × 5 cm × 5 cm is weighed in water. Its apparent weight will be


  1.     5×5×5×5 gf
  2.     4×4×4×4 gf
  3.     5×4×4×4 gf
  4.     4×5×5×5 gf
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 4×5×5×5 gf
:
D

Apparent weight


=V(ρσ)g=l×b×h×(51)×g


=(5×5×5×4×g) dyne = (4×5×5×5) gf


Question 6.


A log of wood of mass 120 Kg floats in water. The weight that can be put on the raft to make it just sink should be (density of wood=600Kg/m3)


  1.     80 Kg
  2.     50 Kg
  3.     60 Kg
  4.     30 Kg
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 80 Kg
:
A

Volume of log of wood V=massdensity=120600=0.2m3


Let x weight that can be put on the log of wood.


So weight of the body = (120+x)×10 N


Weight of displaced liquid = Vρg=0.2×103×10 N


The body will just sink in liquid if the weight of the body will be equal to the weight of displaced liquid.


(120+x)×10N=0.2×103×10 N
x=80kg


Question 7.


Equal masses of water and a liquid of density 2 are mixed together, then the mixture has a density of 


  1.     2/3
  2.     4/3
  3.     3/2
  4.     3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 4/3
:
B

If two liquids of equal masses and different densities are mixed together then density of mixture 


ρ=2ρ1ρ2ρ1+ρ2=2×1×21+2=43


Question 8.


A silver ingot weighing 2.1 kg is held by a string so as to be completely immersed in a liquid of relative density 0.8. The relative density of silver is 10.5. The tension in the string in kg-wt is


  1.     1.6
  2.     1.94
  3.     3.1
  4.     5.25
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 1.94
:
B

Apparent weight = V(ρσ)g=Mρ(ρσ)g


=M1σρg=2.110.810.5g=1.94g N


=1.94 Kgwt


Question 9.


A cylindrical tank has a hole of 1 cm2 in its bottom. If the water is allowed to flow into the tank from a tube above it at the rate of 70 cm3/sec. then the maximum height up to which water can rise in the tank is


  1.     2.5 cm
  2.     5 cm
  3.     10 cm
  4.     0.25 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 2.5 cm
:
A

The height of water in the tank becomes maximum when the volume of water flowing into the tank per second becomes equal to the volume flowing out per second. Volume of water flowing out per second


=Av=A2gh                ......(i)


Volume of water flowing in per second


=70 cm3/sec                     ......(ii)


From (i) and (ii) we get


A2gh=701×2gh=70


1×2×980×h=70


h=49001960=2.5 cm


Question 10.


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


An Incompressible Liquid Flows Through A Horizontal Tube As ...


  1.     3.0 m/s
  2.     1.5 m/s
  3.     1.0 m/s
  4.     2.25 m/s
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 1.0 m/s
:
C

If the liquid is incompressible then mass of liquid entering through left end, should be equal to mass of liquid coming out from the right end.


M=m1+m2Av1=Av2+1.5A.v


A×3=A×1.5+1.5A.vv=1m/s
