Pressure of water increases with depth
c (c)A torque is acting on the wall of the dam trying to make it topple. The bottom is made very broad so that the dam will be stable.

According to Bernoulli's equation $\frac{P}{{\rho g}} + h + \frac{1}{2}\,\frac{{{v^2}}}{g} = {\rm{constant}}$ The terms $A, B$ and $ C$ are generally called respectively:
A uniform cylinder of length $L$ and mass $M$ having crosssectional area $A$ is suspended, with its length vertical, from a fixed point by a massless spring such that it is half submerged in a liquid of density $\sigma$ at equilibrium position. The extension $x_0$ of the spring when it is in equilibrium is
A wooden block of volume $1000\, cm^3$ is suspended from a spring balance. It weighs $12$ $N$ in air. It is suspended in water such that half of the block is below the surface of water. The reading of the spring balance is ...... $N$
A triangular lamina of area $A$ and height h is immersed in a liquid of density $\rho $ in a vertical plane with its base on the surface of the liquid. The thrust on the lamina is
Diagram shows a jar filled with two non mixing liquids $1$ and $2$ having densities ${\rho _1}$ and ${\rho _2}$ respectively. A solid ball, made of a material of density ${\rho _3}$ , is dropped in the jar. It comes to equilibrium in the position shown in the figure. Which of the following is true for ${\rho _1}$ , ${\rho _2}$ and ${\rho _3}$ ?
Blood velocity: The flow of blood in a large artery of an anesthetised dog is diverted through a Venturi meter. The wider part of the meter has a crosssectional area equal to that of the artery. $A = 8\; mm^2$. The narrower part has an area $a = 4 \;mm^2$. The pressure drop in the artery is $24\; Pa$. What is the speed (in $m/s$) of the blood in the artery?
A long cylindrical vessel is half filled with a liquid. When the vessel is rotated about its own vertical axis, the liquid rises up near the wall. If the radius of vessel is $5\,cm$ and its rotational speed is $2$ rotations per second, then the difference in the heights between the centre and the sides, in $cm,$ will be
In a cylindrical vessel containing liquid of density $\rho $, there are two holes in the side walls at heights of $ h_1$ and $h_2$ respectively such that the range of efflux at the bottom of the vessel is same. The height of a hole, for which the range of efflux would be maximum, will be
A hemispherical portion of radius $R$ is removed from the bottom of a cylinder of radius $R$. The volume of the remaining cylinder is $V$ and mass $M$. It is suspended by a string in a liquid of density $\rho$, where it stays vertical. The upper surface of cylinder is at a depth $h$ below the liquid surface. The force on the bottom of the cylinder by the liquid is
