Question 1

Water flows at a speed of 6 cm s-1 through a tube of radius 1 cm. Coefficient of viscosity of water at room temperature is 0.01 poise. Calculate the Reynolds number. Is it a steady flow?

A.

60, yes

B.

60, no

C.

120, yes

D.

120, no

SOLUTION

Solution : C

You know,
Reynolds number, N=ρvDη
Where, ρ = density of fluid

v = velocity of flow of the fluid

D = diameter of the tube
η = coefficient of viscosity of the fluid
N=1000×6100×21000.01
{all values in SI}
N = 120 {Dimensionless}, yes the flow is steady

Question 2

Question 3

A long cylindrical rod of radius R1 is placed co-axially inside a cylindrical tube of radius R2(>R1) filled withviscous liquid and pulled along the axis with a constant velocity. In steady state the velocity gradient (dvdr) depends on the distance from the common axis 'r' as proportional to 

A.

r

B.

r1

C.

r2

D.

f=ηAdvdx=constη2πrldvdx=constdvdxα1r

Question 4

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

A.

Water flowing through a pipe

B.

Air bubble rising up through water

C.

A wide, shallow sheet of water flowing on a flat surface

D.

Water flowing out through a hole in the side of a tank

SOLUTION

Solution : 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 5

An ice berg of density 900 Kg/m3 is floating in water of density 1000 Kg/m3. The percentage of volume of ice-cube outside the water is

 

A.

20%

B.

35%

C.

10%

D.

25%

SOLUTION

Solution : C

Let the total volume of ice-berg is V and its density is ρ. If this ice-berg floats in water with volume Vin inside

it then Vinσg=VρgVin=ρσV            [σ = density of water]

or Vout=VVin=σρσV

VoutV=σρσ=10009001000=110

Vout=10% of V

Question 6

A body of density d1 is counterpoised by Mg of weights of density d2 in air of density d. Then the true mass of the body is

A.

M

B.

M1dd2

C.

M1dd1

D.

M(1dd2)(1dd1)

SOLUTION

Solution : D

Let MO=mass of body in vacuum.

Apparent weight of the body in air = Apparent weight of standard weights in air

Actual weight of the body - upthrust due to displaced air

= Actual weight of the weights- upthrust due to displaced air

M0gM0d1dg=MgMd2dgM0=M[1dd2][1dd1]

Question 7

Density of ice is ρ and that of water is σ. What will be the decrease in volume when a mass M of ice melts

A.

Mσρ

B.

σρM

C.

M[1ρ1σ]

D.

1M[1ρ1σ]

SOLUTION

Solution : C

Volume of ice = Mρ, volume of water = Mσ

Change in volume = MρMσ=M1ρ1σ

Question 8

Two bodies are in equilibrium when suspended in water from the arms of a balance. The mass of one body is 36 g and its density is 9 g / cm3. If the mass of the other is 48 g, its density in g / cm3 is

 

A.

4/3

B.

3/2

C.

3

D.

5

SOLUTION

Solution : C

Apparent weight = V(ρσ)g = mρ(ρσ)g

where m = mass of the body,

ρ = density of the body

σ = density of water

If two bodies are in equilibrium then their apparent weight must be equal.

m1ρ1(ρ1σ) = m2ρ2(ρ2σ)

369(91) = 48ρ2(ρ21)

By solving we get ρ2 = 3

Question 9

A large tank filled with water to a height 'h' is to be emptied through a small hole at the bottom. The ratio of time taken for the level of water to fall from h to h/2 and from h/2 to zero is

 

A.

2

B.

12

C.

21

D.

121

SOLUTION

Solution : C

Time taken for the level to fall from H to H'      t=AA02g[HH]

According to problem - the time taken for the level to fall from h to h2     t1=AA02g[hh2]

and similarly time taken for the level to fall from h2 to zero      t2=AA02g[h20]   t1t2=112120=21

Question 10

=4095 N/m2 or Pascal

Question 11

A manometer connected to a closed tap reads 3.5 × 105 N/m2. When the valve is opened, the reading of manometer falls to 3.0 × 105 N/m2, then velocity of flow of water is

100 m/s

B.

10 m/s

C.

1 m/s

D.

10 .10m/s

SOLUTION

Solution : B

Bernoulli's theorem for unit mass of liquid

Pρ+12v2 = constant

As the liquid starts flowing, it pressure energy decreases 12v2=P1p2ρ12v2=3.5×1053×105103
  v2=2×0.5×105103v2=100v=10m/s

 

 

Question 12

In the following fig. is shown the flow of liquid through a horizontal pipe. Three tubes A, B and C are connected to the pipe. The radii of the tubes A, B and C at the junction are respectively 2 cm, 1 cm and 2 cm. It can be said that the

A.

Height of the liquid in the tube A is maximum

B.

Height of the liquid in the tubes A and B is the same

C.

Height of the liquid in all the three tubes is the same

D.

 Height of the liquid in the tubes A and C is the same

SOLUTION

Solution : D

As cross-section areas of both the tubes A and C are same and tube is horizontal. Hence according to equation of continuity vA=vC and therefore according to Bernoulli's theorem PA=PC i.e. height of liquid is same in both the tubes A and C.

A.

Water and glass; glass and mercury

B.

Pure water and glass; glass and alcohol

C.

Silver and water; mercury and glass

D.

Silver and chromium; water and chromium

SOLUTION

Solution : B

Both liquids water and alcohol have same nature (i.e. wet the solid). Hence angle of contact for both is acute.

Question 15

A soap bubble assumes a spherical surface. Which of the following statement is wrong

 

A.

The soap film consists of two surface layers of molecules back to back

B.

The bubble encloses air inside it

C.

The pressure of air inside the bubble is less than the atmospheric pressure; that is why the atmospheric pressure has compressed it equally from all sides to give it a spherical shape

D.

Because of the elastic property of the film, it will tend 

SOLUTION

Solution : C

The pressure of air inside the bubble is less than the atmospheric pressure; that is why the atmospheric pressure has compressed it equally from all sides to give it a spherical shape

Question 16

The pressure inside the bubble is more than outside. Inside pressure -outside pressure =excess pressure. In the case of bubble excess pressure = 4S/R. where s is the surface tension and r is the radius.

P=4Tr
