Question

Differentiate between evaporation and boiling.

✓

Answer

Evaporation is a slow process from the liquid to the gaseous state which takes place at the surface of a liquid and at all temperatures. Boiling is a rapid change of a substance from the liquid to the gaseous state which takes place throughout the mass of the liquid at a definite temperature.

Glycerine flows steadily through a horizontal tube of length 1.5 m and radius 1.0 cm . If the amount of glycerine collected per second at one end is $4.0 \times 10^{-3} kgs ^{-1}$, what is the pressure difference between the two ends of the tube? (Density of glycerine $=1.3 \times 10^3 kgm ^{-3}$ and viscosity of glycerine $=0.83 Pa$ s). [You may also like to check if the assumption of laminar flow in the tube is correct].

A ball of mass m, moving with a speed 2v₀, collides inelastically (e > 0) with an identical ball at rest. Show that:

A mass is projected horizontally with a velocity u from a tower. Find the horizontal length it will cover from the foot of the tower?

Two small balls A and B, each of mass m, are joined rigidly by a light horizontal rod of length L. The rod is clamped at the centre in such a way that it can rotate freely about a vertical axis through its centre. The system is rotated with an angular speed w about the axis. A particle P of mass m kept at rest sticks to the ball A as the ball collides with it. Find the new angular speed of the rod.
