INSTRUCTION: Select the correct answer for each of the following questions. Mark only one answer
for each item by shading the box corresponding to the letter of your choice on the answer sheet
provided. STRICTLY NO ERASURES ALLOWED.

kPa. Determine its bulk modulus.

3. Many camera phones now use liquid lenses as a means of providing a quick auto-focus. These
lenses work by electrically controlling the internal pressure within a liquid droplet, thereby
affecting the angle of the meniscus of the droplet, and so creating a variable focal length. To
analyze this effect, consider, for example, a segment of a spherical droplet that has a base
diameter of 3 mm. The pressure in the droplet is controlled through a tiny hole under 105 Pa. If
the tangent at the surface is 30°, determine the surface tension at the surface that holds it in
place.

b. 0.158 N/m d. 0.234 N/m

4. The closed tank was completely filled with carbon tetrachloride when the valve at B was opened,
slowly letting the carbon tetrachloride level drop as shown. If the space within A is a vacuum,
determine the pressure in the liquid near valve B when h = 25 ft. Also, determine at what
level h the carbon tetrachloride will stop flowing out. The atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi.
