- 1A wooden cube just floats inside water with a $200 \,gm$ mass placed on it. When the mass is removed, the cube floats with its top surface $2 \,cm$ above the water level. the side of the cube is ......... $cm$View Solution
- 2A train with cross-sectional area $S _{ t }$ is moving with speed $v_t$ inside a long tunnel of cross-sectional area $S _0\left( S _0=4 S _{ t }\right)$. Assume that almost all the air (density $\rho$ ) in front of the train flows back between its sides and the walls of the tunnel. Also, the air flow with respect to the train is steady and laminar. Take the ambient pressure and that inside the train to be $p _0$. If the pressure in the region between the sides of the train and the tunnel walls is $p$, then $p _0- p =\frac{7}{2 N } \rho v_{ t }^2$. The value of $N$ is. . . . .View Solution

- 7Four 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.View Solution
