1. Define surface tension?

2. Water rises in a capillary tube but mercury falls in the same tube. Why?

3. Distinguish between streamline and turbulent flow.

4. At what depth in an ocean will a tube of air have one– fourth volume it will have on
reaching the surface? Given Atmospheric Pressure = 76 cm of Hg and density of Hg
= 13.6g/cc?
5. What is force on the base of a tank of base area 1.5 𝑚2 when it is filled with water
up to a height of 1m (𝜌𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟 = 103 𝑘𝑔𝑚−3, 𝑃= 1.013 × 105 N/m2, g=10 m 𝑠−1)
6. A cubical block of iron 5cm on each side is floating on mercury in a vessel:1) What
is the height of the block above mercury level? 2) Water is poured into vessel so that
it just covers the iron block. What is the height of the water column?
7. The reading of a pressure metre attached to a closed is 2.5 × 105 N/m2. On opening
the valve of pipe, the reading of the pressure metre reduces to 2.0 × 105 N/m2.
Calculate the speed of water flowing through the pipe?
8. Under a pressure head, the rate of flow of liquid through a pipe is Q. If the length of
pipe is doubled and diameter of pipe is halved, what is the new rate of flow?
9. During blood transfusion the needle is inserted in a vein where the gauge pressure
is 2000 Pa. At what height must the blood container be placed so that blood may
just enter the vein?
10. State Pascal’s law
11. A hydraulic automobile lift is designed to lift cars with a maximum mass of 3000 kg.
The area of cross-section of the piston carrying the load is 425 cm2 What maximum
pressure would the smaller piston have to bear?
12. Compressibility of water is 4 X105 /unit atm. What will be the decrease in volume
of 100 cm3 of water under pressure of 150 atm.
