Four identical beakers contain same amount of water as shown below. Beaker $A$ contains only water. A lead ball is held submerged in the beaker $B$ by string from above. A same sized plastic ball, say a table tennis $(TT)$ ball, is held submerged in beaker $C$ by a string attached to a stand from outside. Beaker $D$ contains same sized $TT$ ball which is held submerged from a string attached to the bottom of the beaker. These beakers (without stand) are placed on weighing pans and register readings $w_{A}, w_{B}, w_{C}$ and $w_{D}$ for $A, B, C$ and $D$, respectively. Effects of the mass and volume of the stand and string are to be neglected.
A river gradually deepens, from a depth of $4 \ m$ to a depth of $8\ m$ as shown. The width, $W$, of the river does not change. At the depth of $4 \ m$, the river's speed is $12\ m/sec.$ Its elocity at the $8\ m$ depth is ......... $m/sec$
A Newtonian fluid fills the clearance between a shaft and a sleeve. When a force of $800$ $N$ is applied to the shaft, parallel to the sleeve, the shaft attains a speed of $1.5$ $cm/sec$. If a force of $2.4$ $kN$ is applied instead, the shaft would move with a speed of ......... $ cm/sec$
A cubical block is floating in a liquid with half of its volume immersed in the liquid. When the whole system accelerates upwards with acceleration of $g/3,$ the fraction of volume immersed in the liquid will be
An air bubble of volume $1\,cm ^3$ rises from the bottom of a lake $40\,m$ deep to the surface at a temperature of $12^{\circ}\,C$. The atmospheric pressure is $1 \times 10^5 Pa$, the density of water is $1000\,kg / m ^3$ and $g =10\,m / s ^2$. There is no difference of the temperature of water at the depth of $40\,m$ and on the surface. The volume of air bubble when it reaches the surface will be $..........\,cm^{3}$
A light cylindrical vessel is kept on a horizontal surface. Area of base is A. A hole of crosssectional area $'a'$ is made just at its bottom side. The minimum coefficient of friction necessary to prevent sliding the vessel due to the impact force of the emerging liquid is $(a\,<\,<\,A)$
A concrete sphere of radius $R$ has a cavity of radius $ r$ which is packed with sawdust. The specific gravities of concrete and sawdust are respectively $2.4$ and $0.3$ for this sphere to float with its entire volume submerged under water. Ratio of mass of concrete to mass of sawdust will be
