A tall tank filled with water has an irregular shape as shown. The wall $C D$ makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal, the wall $A B$ is normal to the base $B C$. The lengths $A B$ and $C D$ are much smaller than the height $h$ of water (figure not to scale). Let $p_1, p_2$ and $p_3$ be the pressures exerted by the water on the wall $A B$, base $B C$ and the wall $C D$ respectively. Density of water is $\rho$ and $g$ is acceleration due to gravity. Then, approximately
A$p_1=p_2=p_3$
B$p_1=0, p_3=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} p_2$
C$p_1=p_3=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} p_2$
D$p_1=p_3=0, p_2=h \rho g$

Pressure of a fluid column depends only on height of fluid column and as pressure is scalar, its magnitude does not depend on orientation of surface over which pressure acts.

A container of large uniform cross-sectional area $A$ is resting on a horizontal surface holds two immiscible, non-viscous and incompressible liquids of densities $d$ and $2d$ each of height $\frac{H}{2}$ as shown. The lower density of liquid is open to atmosphere. A small hole is made on the wall of container at height $h\left( {h < \frac{H}{2}} \right)$. The initial speed of efflux of the liquid at the hole is
A small spherical ball of radius $r$, falling through a viscous medium of negligible density has terminal velocity ' $v$ '. Another ball of the same mass but of radius $2 r$, falling through the same viscous medium will have terminal velocity:
Water is filled in a container upto height of $3\,m$. A small hole of area $‘A_0’$ is punched in the wall of the container at a height $52.5\, cm$ from the bottom. The cross sectional area of the container is $A$. If $A_0/A = 0.1$ then $v^2$ is......... $m^2/s^2$ (where $v$ is the velocity of water coming out of the hole)
Water is filled in a cylindrical container to a height of $3m. $ The ratio of the cross-sectional area of the orifice and the beaker is $ 0.1. $ The square of the speed of the liquid coming out from the orifice is ....... $m^2/s^2$ ($g = 10 m/s^2$)
A flat plate of area $10\,cm^2$ is separated from a large plate by a layer of glycerine $1\, mm$ thick. If the coefficient of viscosity of glycerine is $20$ poise, the force required to keep the plate moving with a velocity of $1\,cm/sec$ is .......... $dyne$
