A machine is blowing spherical soap bubbles of different radii filled with helium gas.It is found that, if the bubbles have a radius smaller than $1\,cm$, then they sink to the floor in still air. Larger bubbles float in the air. Assume that the thickness of the soap film in all bubbles is uniform and equal. Assume that the density of soap solution is same as that of water $\left(=1000 \,kg m ^{-3}\right)$. The density of helium inside the bubbles and air are $0.18 \,kg m ^{-3}$ and $1.23 \,kg m ^{-3}$, respectively. Then, the thickness of the soap film of the bubbles is .......... $\mu m$ (Note $1 \,\mu m =10^{-6} \,m$ )

    Two large, identical water tanks, $1$ and $2$ , kept on the top of a building of height $H$, are filled with water up to height $h$ in each tank. Both the tanks contain an identical hole of small radius on their sides, close to their bottom. A pipe of the same internal radius as that of the hole is connected to tank $2$ , and the pipe ends at the ground level. When the water flows the tanks $1$ and $2$ through the holes, the times taken to empty the tanks are $t_1$ and $t_2$, respectively. If $H=\left(\frac{16}{9}\right) h$, then the ratio $t_1 / t_2$ is. . . . .

    A bottle has a thin nozzle on top. It is filled with water, held horizontally at a height of $1 \,m$ and squeesed slowly by hands, so that the water jet coming out of the nozzle hits the ground at a distance of $2 \,m$. If the area over which the hands squeese it is $10 \,cm ^{2}$, the force applied by hand is close to .......... $N$ (take, $g=10 \,m / s ^{2}$ and density of water $=1000 \,kg / m ^{3}$ )

    A large open tank has two holes in the wall. One is a square hole of side $L$  at a depth $y $ from the top and the other is a circular hole of radius $ R$  at a depth $ 4y $ from the top. When the tank is completely filled with water the quantities of water flowing out per second from both the holes are the same. Then $ R$ is equal to
