(d)Given, ${l_1} = {l_2} = 1,$and $\frac{{{r_1}}}{{{r_2}}} = \frac{1}{2}$
$V = \frac{{\pi {P_1}r_1^4}}{{8\eta l}} = \frac{{\pi {P_2}r_2^4}}{{8\eta l}}$==> $\frac{{{P_1}}}{{{P_2}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{r_2}}}{{{r_1}}}} \right)^4} = 16$
==> ${P_1} = 16{P_2}$
Since both tubes are connected in series, hence pressure difference across combination,
$P = {P_1} + {P_2}$==> 1 = ${P_1} + \frac{{{P_1}}}{{16}}$ ==> ${P_1} = \frac{{16}}{{17}} = 0.94m$

    A heavy hollow cone of radius $R$ and height $h$ is placed on a horizontal table surface, with its flat base on the table. The whole volume inside the cone is filled with water of density $\rho$ . The circular rim of the cone’s base has a watertight seal with the table’s surface and the top apex of the cone has a small hole. Neglecting atmospheric pressure find the total upward force exerted by water on the cone is

    Suppose you have taken a dilute solution of oleic acid in such a way that its concentration becomes $0.01 \,cm ^{3}$ of oleic acid per $cm ^{3}$ of the solution. Then you make a thin film of this solution (monomolecular thickness) of area $4\, cm ^{2}$ by considering $100$ spherical drops of radius $\left(\frac{3}{40 \pi}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} \times 10^{-3}\, cm .$ Then the thickness of oleic acid layer will be $x \times 10^{-14} \,m$. Where $x$ is ...... .
