Consider a thin square plate floating on a viscous liquid in a large tank. The height $h$ of the liquid in the tank is much less than the width of the tank. The floating plate is pulled horizontally with a constant velocity $u_0$. Which of the following statements is (are) true?

$(A)$ The resistive force of liquid on the plate is inversely proportional to $h$

$(B)$ The resistive force of liquid on the plate is independent of the area of the plate

$(C)$ The tangential (shear) stress on the floor of the tank increases with $u _0$

$(D)$ The tangential (shear) stress on the plate varies linearly with the viscosity $\eta$ of the liquid

    A wooden wheel of radius $R$ is made of two semicircular part (see figure). The two parts are held together by a ring made of a metal strip of cross section area $S$ and length $L$. $L$ is slighly less than $2\pi R$. To fit the ring on the wheel, it is heated so that its temperature rises by $\Delta T$ and it just steps over the wheel.As it cools down to surronding temperature, it presses the semicircular parts together. If the coefficint of linear expansion of the metal is $\alpha$, and its young's modulus is $Y$, the force that one part of wheel applies on the other part is

    Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion$(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R).$

    $Assertion$ $(A)$ : In Vernier calliper if positive zero error exists, then while taking measurements, the reading taken will be more than the actual reading.

    $Reason$ $(R)$ : The zero error in Vernier Calliper might have happened due to manufacturing defect or due to rough handling.

    In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
