A cylindrical block of area of cross-section $A$ and of material of density $\rho$ is placed in a liquid of density one-third of density of block. The block compresses a spring and compression in the spring is one-third of the length of the block. If acceleration due to gravity is $g$, the spring constant of the spring is:
  • A$\rho$$ Ag$
  • B$2\rho$$Ag$
  • C$2\rho $$Ag/3$
  • D$\rho $$Ag/3$

    The Pitot tube shown in the figure is used to measure fluid flow velocity in a pipe of cross sectional area $S$. It was invented by a French engineer Henri Pitot in the early $18^{th}$ century. The volume of the gas flowing across the section of the pipe per unit time is (The difference in the liquid columns is $\Delta h,  \rho_0$ and  $\rho$  are the densities of liquid and the gas respectively) :-

    In the arrangement shown both the vessels $A$ and $B$ are identical but amount of water in $B$ is double of that in $A$. The vessels are closed by identical leak proof pistons at the same height. The pistons are connected to the ends of lever arm. There is no friction between the pistons and the container walls. The system is in equilibrium in the situation shown. Now the valve in the horizontal tube connecting both the vessels is opened. In which direction will the water flow through the tube ?
