A body floats in a liquid contained in a beaker. The whole system as shown falls freely under gravity. The upthrust on the body due to the liquid is
A
Zero
B
Equal to the weight of the liquid displaced
C
Equal to the weight of the body in air
D
Equal to the weight of the immersed position of the body

A
Zero
a (a)Upthrust $ = V{\rho _{{\rm{liquid}}}}(g - a)$
where, $a = $ downward acceleration,
$V = $ volume of liquid displaced
But for free fall $ a = g $ $\therefore $ $Upthrust = 0$

What will be the nature of flow of water from a circular tap, when its flow rate increased from $0.18\, L / min$ to $0.48\, L / min$ ? The radius of the tap and viscosity of water are $0.5\, cm$ and $10^{-3}\, Pa s$, respectively.
Two identical cylindrical vessels with their bases at same level, each contains a liquid of density $d$ . The height of the liquid in one vessel is $ h_1$ and that in the other vessel is $h_2$ . The area of either base is $A$ . The work done by gravity in equalizing the levels when the two vessels are connected is
A cylindrical vessel of base radius $R$ and height $H$ has a narrow neck of height $h$ and radius $r$ at one end (see figure). The vessel is filled with water (density $\rho_w$ ) and its neck is filled with immiscible oil (density $\rho_0$ ). Then, the pressure at
A streamlined body falls through air from a height $h$ on the surface of a liquid. If $d$ and $D(D > d) $ represents the densities of the material of the body and liquid respectively, then the time after which the body will be instantaneously at rest, is
A cylinder stands vertical in two immiscible liquids of densities $\rho$ and $2 \rho$. The height of two liquids are shown. Find the difference in pressure at point $A$ and $B$
There is a hole in the bottom of tank having water. If total pressure at bottom is $ 3 atm$ ($1 atm = 10^5N/m^2$) then the velocity of water flowing from hole is
In the figure shown, the heavy cylinder (radius $R$) resting on a smooth surface separates two liquids of densities $2\ \rho$ and $3\ \rho$ . The height $‘h’$ for the equilibrium of cylinder must be
A cylinder of height $h$ is filled with water and is kept on a block of height $h / 2$ . The level of water in the cylinder is kept constant. Four holes numbered $1, 2, 3$ and $4$ are at the side of the cylinder and at heights $0,\ h / 4,\ h / 2$ and $3h / 4$ respectively. When all four holes are opened together, the hole from which water will reach farthest distance on the plane $PQ$ is the hole number
