$Assertion :$ In a pressure cooker the water is brought to boil. The cooker is then remove from the stove. Now on removing the lid of the pressure cooker, the water starts boiling against.
$Reason :$ The impurities in water bring down its boiling point

The water starts boiling a second time because when pressure cooker cools down pressure inside gets reduced. Reduced pressure brings down the $B.P.$ of water. The reduced $B.P.$ makes the water boil a second time.

The height to which a cylindrical vessel be filled with a homogeneous liquid, to make the average force with which the liquid presses the side of the vessel equal to the force exerted by the liquid on the bottom of the vessel, is equal to
A slender homogeneous rod of length $2L$ floats partly immersed in water, being supported by a string fastened to one of its ends, as shown. The specific gravity of the rod is $0.75$. The length of rod that extends out of water is :
$Assertion :$ The pressure of water reduces when it flows from a narrow pipe to a wider pipe.
$Reason :$ Since for wider pipe area is large, so flow of speed is small and pressure also reduces proportionately.
Water is flowing with a velocity of $2\,m/s$ in a horizontal pipe where cross-sectional area is $2 \times 10^{-2}\, m^2$ at pressure $4 \times 10^4\, pascal$. The pressure at cross-section of area $0.01\, m^2$ in pascal will be
A healthy adult of height $1.7 \,m$ has an average blood pressure $( BP )$ of $100 \,mm$ of $Hg$. The heart is typically at a height of $1.3 \,m$ from the foot. Take, the density of blood to be $10^3 \,kg / m ^3$ and note that $100 \,mm$ of $Hg$ is equivalent to $13.3 \,kPa$ (kilo pascals). The ratio of $BP$ in the foot region to that in the head region is close to
The Pitot tube shown in the figure is used to measure fluid flow velocity in a pipe of cross sectional area $S$. It was invented by a French engineer Henri Pitot in the early $18^{th}$ century. The volume of the gas flowing across the section of the pipe per unit time is (The difference in the liquid columns is $\Delta h, \rho_0$ and $\rho$ are the densities of liquid and the gas respectively) :-
A container of liquid release from the rest, on a smooth inclined plane as shown in the figure. Length of at the inclined plane is sufficient, and assume liquid finally equilibrium. Finally liquid surface makes an angle with horizontal ...... $^o$
