A small sphere of mass $m$ is dropped from a great height. After it has fallen $100\; m$ , it has attained its terminal velocity and continues to fall at that speed. The work done by air friction against the sphere during the first $ 100 \;m $ of fall is
AGreater than the work done by air friction in the second $ 100\; m$
BLess than the work done by air friction in the second $ 100\;m$
CEqual to $100 \;mg$
DGreater than $100 \;mg$

BLess than the work done by air friction in the second $ 100\;m$
b (b) In the first $100 m$ body starts from rest and its velocity goes on increasing and after $100 m$ it acquire maximum velocity (terminal velocity). Further, air friction
i.e. viscous force which is proportional to velocity is low in the beginning and maximum at $v = {v_T}$.
Hence work done against air friction in the first $ 100 m$ is less than the work done in next $100 m.$

Water is pumped from a depth of $10 $ $m$ and delivered through a pipe of cross section $10^{-2}$ $m^2$. If it is needed to deliver a volume of $10^{-1} $ $m^3$ per second the power required will be ........ $kW$
A tank $5\, m$ high is half-filled with water and then is filled to the top with oil of density $0.85\, g/cm^3$. The pressure at the bottom of the tank, due to these liquids is ....... $g\, dyne/cm^2$
A small steel ball is dropped into a long cylinder containing glycerine. Which one of the following is the correct representation of the velocity time graph for the transit of the ball?
The pressure acting on a submarine is $3 \times 10^{5}\;Pa$ at a certain depth. If the depth is doubled, the percentage increase in the pressure acting on the submarine would be: (Assume that atmospheric pressure is $1 \times 10^{5} \;Pa$ density of water is $10^{3}\, kg \,m ^{-3}, g =10 \,ms ^{-2}$ )
In the diagram shown, the difference in the two tubes of the manometer is $5\, cm$, the cross section of the tube at $A$ and $B$ is $6\, mm^2$ and $10\, mm^2$ respectively. The rate at which water flows through the tube is ........ $ cc/s$ $(g\, = 10\, ms^{-2})$
A wide vessel with a small hole at the bottom is filled with two liquids. The density and heightof one liquid are $\rho_1$ and $h_1$ and that of the otherare $\rho_2$ and $h_2 \ (\rho_1 >\rho_2)$. The velocity of liquid coming out of the hole is :
The two thigh bones (femurs), each of cross-sectional area $10\; cm ^{2}$ support the upper part of a human body of mass $40\; kg$. Estimate the average pressure sustained by the femurs.
A liquid flows in a tube from left to right as shown in figure. ${A_1}$ and ${A_2}$ are the cross-sections of the portions of the tube as shown. Then the ratio of speeds ${v_1}/{v_2}$ will be
