MCQ
A large tank filled with water to a height ‘h’ is to be emptied through a small hole at the bottom. The ratio of time taken for the level of water to fall from $ h$  to $\frac{h}{2}$ and from $\frac{h}{2}$ to zero is
  • A
    $\sqrt 2 $
  • B
    $\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}$
  • $\sqrt 2 - 1$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 - 1}}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\sqrt 2 - 1$
c
(c)Time taken for the level to fall from H to $H'$ $t = \frac{A}{{{A_0}}}\sqrt {\frac{2}{g}} \,\,\left[ {\sqrt H - \sqrt {H'} } \right]$
According to problem- the time taken for the level to fall from h to $\frac{h}{2}$ ${t_1} = \frac{A}{{{A_0}}}\sqrt {\frac{2}{g}} \;\;\left[ {\sqrt h - \sqrt {\frac{h}{2}} } \right]$
and similarly time taken for the level to fall from $\frac{h}{2}$ to zero ${t_2} = \frac{A}{{{A_0}}}\sqrt {\frac{2}{g}} \;\left[ {\sqrt {\frac{h}{2}} - 0} \right]$ $\therefore \;\frac{{{t_1}}}{{{t_2}}} = \frac{{1 - \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}}}{{\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }} - 0}} = \sqrt 2 - 1.$

A bead of mass $m$ can slide on a frictionless fixed ring of very large radius $r$. With the help of two identical strings of force constant $k,$ it is connected to two diametrically opposite nails $A$ and $B$ each of which are at distance $0.5r$ from the centre $O$ of the ring. The relaxed length of each string is negligible as compared to the radius of the ring. The bead is given a small velocity. What can you predict for further motion of the bead before any of the strings strikes a nail?
