Question
When a certain weight is suspended from a long uniform wire, its length increases by one cm. If the same weight is suspended from another wire of the same material and length but having a diameter half of the first one then the increase in length will be ........ $cm$

Answer

(c)$l = \frac{{FL}}{{AY}} \Rightarrow l \propto \frac{1}{{{r^2}}}$ $(F, L$ and $Y$ are constant)

$\frac{{{l_2}}}{{{l_1}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{r_1}}}{{{r_2}}}} \right)^2} = {(2)^2} = 4$

$ \Rightarrow {l_2} = 4{l_1} = 4cm$

Stokes' law states that the viscous drag force $F$ experienced by a sphere of radius $a$, moving with a speed $v$ through a fluid with coefficient of viscosity $\eta$, is given by $F=6 \pi \eta a v$.If this fluid is flowing through a cylindrical pipe of radius $r$, length $l$ and a pressure difference of $p$ across its two ends, then the volume of water $V$ which flows through the pipe in time $t$ can be written as

$\frac{v}{t}=k\left(\frac{p}{l}\right)^a \eta^b r^c$

where, $k$ is a dimensionless constant. Correct value of $a, b$ and $c$ are
