  2. 1;4

  3. 1;8

Correct Option: C

We have three beakers A, B and C containing glycerine, water and kerosene respectively. They are stirred vigorously and placed on the table. The liquid which comes to rest at the earliest is

  1. Glycerine

  2. Water

  3. Kerosene

  4. All of them at the same time


Correct Option: A

When $200 ml$ of water is subjected to a pressure of $2 \times {10^8}pa,$ the decrease in its volume is $0.2 ml.$ the compressibility of water is -----

  1. $5 \times {10^{ - 8}}{m^2}{N^{ - 1}}$

  2. $5 \times {10^{ - 10}}{m^2}{N^{ - 1}}$

  3. $5 \times {10^{ - 12}}{m^2}{N^{ - 1}}$

  4. $None$


Correct Option: C

A water hose 2 cm in diameter is used to fill a 20 litre bucket. If it takes 1 minute to fill bucket with watch velocity it leaves the hose ,

  1. 150 cm/s

  2. 70 cm/s

  3. 106 cm/s

  4. 100 cm/s


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Given,

Area, $A=\dfrac{\pi {{d}^{2}}}{4}=\dfrac{\pi }{4}{{\left( 0.02 \right)}^{2}}$

Volume rate of flow, $\dot{V}=\dfrac{volume}{time}=\dfrac{20\,L}{60}=\dfrac{{{10}^{-3}}}{3}\,{{m}^{3}}{{s}^{-1}}$

Volume rate of flow = Cross-Section Area x Velocity of Flow

$ \dot{V}=Av $

$v=\dfrac{{\dot{V}}}{A}=\dfrac{{{10}^{-3}}}{3}\times \dfrac{4}{\pi {{\left( 0.02 \right)}^{2}}}=1.06\,m{{s}^{-1}}=106\,cm{{s}^{-1}}$

Hence, velocity of water leaves hose is$106\,cm{{s}^{-1}}$.

An air bubble of diameter 2mm rises steadily througha solution of density $1750 kg/m^3$at the rate of $0.35cm/s$.Calculate the coefficient of viscosity of the solution.The density of air is negligible. 

  1. 10

  2. 11

  3. 12

  4. 13


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The force of buoyancy B is equal to the weight of  the displaced liquid. Thus

$\Rightarrow B=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^36g$
This force is upward. The viscous force acting downward is $F=6\pi nrv$
The weight of the air bubble may be neglected as the density of air is small. for uniform velocity -
$\Rightarrow F=B$
$\Rightarrow 6\pi nrv=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3 6g$
$\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{2r^36g}{9v}$
         $=\dfrac{2\times \left( 1\times 106{-3}m\right)^2\times \left( 1750kg/m^3\right)\times 9.8m/s^2}{9\times 0.35\times 10^{-2}m/s}$
         $=11\;poise$
This appears to be a highly viscous liquid.

Blood vessel is $0.10\ m$ in length and has a radius of $1.5\times{10}^{-3}m$. Blood flows at rate of ${10}^{-7}{m}^{-3}/s$ through this vessel. The pressure difference that must be maintained in this flow, between the two ends of the vessel is $20\ Pa$. What is the viscosity sufficient of blood?

  1. $2\times{10}^{-3}\ Pa-s$

  2. $1\times{10}^{-3}\ Pa-s$

  3. $4\times{10}^{-3}\ Pa-s$

  4. $5\times{10}^{-4}\ Pa-s$


Correct Option: C

A U-tube having identical limbs is partially filled with water. An immiscible oil having a density of 0.8 g/cc is poured into one side until the water rises by 25 cm on the other side. the level of oil will stand higher than the water level? 

  1. 6.25 cm

  2. 75 cm

  3. 22.5 cm

  4. 12.5 cm


Correct Option: A

A small sphere of mass M and density $D _1$ is dropped in a vessel filled with glycerine. If the density of glycerine is $D _2$ then the viscous force acting on the ball will be in Newton.

  1. $M D _1 D _2$

  2. $Mg \displaystyle \left [ 1- \frac {D _2}{D _1} \right ]$

  3. $\displaystyle \frac {M D _1 g}{D _2}$

  4. $\displaystyle \frac {M}{g} \left ( D _1 + D _2 \right)$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

When sphere is in glycerine, three forces acts on it. which balances each other.

  • weight $(W)$
  • buoyant force $(F _B)$
  • viscous force $(F _V)$
and $W=F _B+F _V$
$\Rightarrow Mg=V _g D _2g +F _V$
$\Rightarrow Mg=V _s D _2g +F _V           \because V _g=V _s$
$\Rightarrow Mg=\frac{M}{D _1} D _2g +F _V             \because V _s=\frac{M}{D _1}$
$\Rightarrow F _V=Mg \left [ 1- \frac {D _2}{D _1} \right ]$

The viscous drag on a spherical body moving with a speed V is proportional to:

  1. $\sqrt V$

  2. $V$

  3. $\displaystyle \frac{1}{\sqrt V}$

  4. $V^{2}$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The viscous drag on a spherical body is given as $F=6\pi \eta RV$. Here $\eta$ is the coefficient of viscosity, R is the radius of the sphere and V is its velocity. 

An air bubble of radius $1 \,cm$ is found to rise in a cylindrical vessel of large radius at a steady rate of $0.2 \,cm$ per second. If the density of the liquid is $1470 \,kg \,m^{-3}$, then coefficient of viscosity of liquid is approximately equal to

  1. $163$ poise

  2. $163$ centi-poise

  3. $140$ poise

  4. $140$ centi-poise


Correct Option: B
