Fluid Mechanics
673 QuestionsFluid mechanics is a core physics topic that evaluates the principles of liquid pressure, buoyancy, density, and viscosity through complex numerical problems. The questions require calculating the volume of submerged objects, understanding hydraulic jumps, and applying fundamental fluid statics principles. It is a highly scoring subject for candidates preparing for technical and engineering competitive exams.

A U-tube is partially filled with water. Oil which does not mix with water is next poured into one side, until water rises by $25\;cm$ on the other side. If the density of oil is $0.8\;g/cc$, the oil level will stand higher than the water level by
Principle of similitude forms the basis for:
A hydraulic press contains 0.25 $m^3$ (250 L) of oil. Find the decrease in volume of the oil when it is subjected to a pressure increase $\Delta p \, = \, 1.6 \, \times \, 10^7$ ,Pa. The bulk modulus of the oil is $B \, = \, 5.0 \, \times \,10^9$ Pa.
An air bubble rises from the bottom to the surface of lake and it is found that its diameter is doubled. If the height of water barometer is 11m, the depth of the lake in meters is
When an air bubble of radius r rises from the bottom to the surface of a lake, its radius becomes 5r / 4 ( the pressure of the atmosphere is equal to the 10m height of water column).If the temperature is constant and the surface tension is neglected, the depth of the lake is
An air bubble rises from the bottom of a deep lake the radius of the air bubble near the surface is 'r'. Choose the appropriate radius of the air bubble.
a) r/2 at depth 30m
b) r/2 at depth 70m
c) r/3 at depth 140m
d) r/3 at depth 260m
A barometer reads 75 cm of mercury. When 2.0cm$^{3}$ of air at atmospheric pressure is introduced into space above the mercury level, the volume of the space becomes 50cm$^{3}$. The length by which the mercury column descends is
Which of the following has a shallow bottom to increase the surface area of a liquid?
Oil floating on water looks coloured due to interference of light. What should be the order of magnitude of the thickness of oil layer in order that this effect may be observed?
Liquids exert equal pressure on the wall of container at equal depth.
To prevent water splashing out of the funnel in Rain gauge, guess the height of the cylinder above the rain gauge.
$64$ small drops of mercury each of radius $r$ and change $q$ coalesce to from a big drop. The ratio of the surface charge density of each small drop with that of big drop is:
The relative permittivity of water is 81. If $\varepsilon _0$ and $\varepsilon$ are permittivities of vaccum and water respectively Then:
