The spring balance $A$ reads $2\, kg$ with a block m suspended from it. $A $ balance $B$ reads $5 \,kg $ when a beaker filled with liquid is put on the pan of the balance. The two balances are now so arranged that the hanging mass is inside the liquid as shown in figure. In this situation
AThe balance $A$ will read more than $2\, kg$
BThe balance $B$ will read more than $5 \,kg$
CThe balance $A$ will read less than $2\, kg$ and $B$ will read more than $5\, kg$

d (d) Force of upthrust will be there on mass m shown in figure, so $A$ weighs less than $2 \,kg$. Balance will show sum of load of beaker and reaction of upthrust so it reads more than $5 \,kg$.

An open-ended U-tube of uniform cross-sectional area contains water (density $10^3 kg m ^{-3}$ ). Initially the water level stands at $0.29 m$ from the bottom in each arm. Kerosene oil (a water-immiscible liquid) of density $800 kg m ^{-3}$ is added to the left arm until its length is $0.1 m$, as shown in the schematic figure below. The ratio $\left(\frac{h_1}{h_2}\right)$ of the heights of the liquid in the two arms is-
$9\ kg$ of mercury is poured into a glass $U-tube$ with inner diameter of $1.2 \ cm$. The mercury can flow without friction within the tube. the oscillation period ......... $\sec$. Density of mercury = $13.6 × 10^3\ kg/m^3$.
A cubical block of side $‘a’$ and density $‘\rho ’$ slides over a fixed inclined plane with constant velocity $‘v’$. There is a thin film of viscous fluid of thickness $‘t’$ between the plane and the block. Then the coefficient of viscosity of the thin film will be:
Two capillary tubes of the same length but different radii $r_1 $ and $r_2$ are fitted in parallel to the bottom of a vessel. The pressure head is $ P. $ What should be the radius of a single tube that can replace the two tubes so that the rate of flow is same as before
Water falls down a $500.0 \,m$ shaft to reach a turbine which generates electricity. ................ $m^3$ water must fall per second in order to generate $1.00 \times 10^9 \,W$ of power ? (Assume $50 \%$ efficiency of conversion and $\left.g=10 \,ms ^{-2}\right)$
Two small spherical metal balls, having equal masses, are made from materials of densities $\rho_{1}$ and $\rho_{2}\left(\rho_{1}=8 \rho_{2}\right)$ and have radii of $1\; \mathrm{mm}$ and $2\; \mathrm{mm}$, respectively. They are made to fall vertically (from rest) in a viscous medum whose coefficient of viscosity equals $\eta$ and whose denstry is $0.1 \mathrm{\rho}_{2} .$ The ratio of their terminal velocitites would be
