Question 11 Mark

Suppose the tube in the previous problem is kept vertical with B upward. Water enters through B at the rate of $1cm^3/s$ . Repeat parts (a), (b) and (c). Note that the speed decreases as the water falls down.

Answer

Since the discharge through the tube remains the same i.e. 1cm/s, the speeds at A and B will be the same.

The speed at A,$\text{v}=\frac{1}{0.04}\text{cm}/\text{s}=\frac{100}{4}\text{cm}/\text{s}=25\text{cm}/\text{s}$
The speed at B, $\text{v}'=\frac{1}{0.02}\text{cm}/\text{s}=\frac{100}{2}\text{cm}/\text{s}=50\text{cm}/\text{s}$
Since the end B is upward, we take the end A as a reference level for the height. So the height of end A = 0 and the height of end B = h.

$=\frac{15}{16}\text{cm}$
$=\frac{15}{1600}\text{m}.$
From the Bernoulli's theorem
$\text{p}_\text{a}+\frac{1}{2}\rho\text{v}^2=\text{p}_\beta+\frac{1}{2}\rho\text{v}'^2+\rho\text{gh}$
$\Rightarrow\text{p}_\text{a}-\text{p}_\beta=\frac{1}{2}\text{p}\big(\text{v}^1-\text{v}^2\big)+\rho\text{gh}$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times1000\times\big(0.50^2-0.25^2\big)+1000\times10\times\frac{15}{1600}\text{N}/\text{m}^2$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times1000\times0.75\times0.25+\frac{1500}{16}\text{N}/\text{m}^2$
$=93.75+93.75\text{N}/\text{m}^2$
$=187.5\text{N}/\text{m}^2\approx188\text{N}/\text{m}^2$

Question 31 Mark

Solve the previous problem if the lead piece is fastened on the top surface of the block and the block is to float with its upper surface just dipping into water.

Answer

Now, the lead piece does not displace the water, as per as our

mathematical calculations in last question. Only the wooden block

displaces.

Thus, the mass $=250 \mathrm{~cm}^2 \times 1 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^2$

$= 250g$

$\therefore$ Upthrust $= 250 × g.$

Now, $(200 + a) × g = 250g$

where, a is the mass of the metal lead.

$a = 250 - 200$

$a = 50g$

Question 81 Mark

At Deoprayag (Garhwal, UP) river Alaknanda mixes with the river Bhagirathi and becomes river Ganga. Suppose Alaknanda has a width of 12m, Bhagirathi has a width of 8m and Ganga has a width of 16m. Assume that the depth of water is same in the three rivers. Let the average speed of water in Alaknanda be 20km/h and in Bhagirathi be 16km/h. Find the average speed of water in the river Ganga.

Answer

Given: Width of Bhagirathi, $\text{h}_\text{B}=8\text{m}$ Width of Alaknanda, $\text{h}_\text{A}=12\text{m}$ Width of Ganga, $\text{h}_\text{G}=16\text{m}$ Average speed of water in Alaknanda, $\text{v}_\text{A}=20\text{Km}/\text{h}$ Average speed of water in Bhagirathi, $\text{v}_\text{B}=16\text{Km}/\text{h}$ Let d be the depth of the three rivers Here, Volume of water discharged from Alaknanda + Volume of water discharged from Bhagirathi = Volume of water flow in Ganga.$\Rightarrow\text{v}_\text{A}\times\text{d}\times\text{h}_\text{A}+\text{v}_\text{B}\times\text{d}\times\text{h}_\text{B}=\text{v}_\text{G}\times\text{d}\times\text{h}_\text{G}$
$\Rightarrow20\times12+16\times8=\text{v}_\text{G}\times16$
$\Rightarrow\text{v}_\text{G}\times16=368$
$\Rightarrow\text{v}_\text{G}=\frac{368}{16}=23\text{Km}/\text{h}$

Question 101 Mark

A cubical box is to be constructed with iron sheets 1mm in thickness. What can be the minimum value of the external edge so that the cube does not sink in water? Density of iron $= 8000kg/m^3$ and density of water $= 1000kg/m^3$.

Answer

Let the external Edge of the cubical box be a m .
Total surface area of the cube $=6 \mathrm{a}$ ?
The volume of the iron in the box $=6 \mathrm{a}^2 \times 1 \times 10^{-2}$
$=6 \times 10^{-2} a^2 \mathrm{~m}^2$
Now, The mass of iron in the box $=$ Volume $x$ density
$ =6 \times 10^{-2} \times a^2 \times 8000 $
$ =48 a^2 \mathrm{~kg}$
Weight $=48 \times 10=480 \mathrm{~N}$.
The volume of the water displaced $=a^2 \mathrm{~cm}^2$ [It will be equal to volume of cube displaced].
$\therefore \text { Upthrust }=\mathrm{a}^2 \times 1000 \times 10 $
$ =10^4 \mathrm{a}^2$
Now, $10^4 \mathrm{a}^2=480$
$\mathrm{a}=48 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m}$
Therefore, $a=4.8 \mathrm{~cm}$.

Question 131 Mark

A cubical block of wood weighing 200g has a lead piece fastened underneath. Find the mass of the lead piece which will just allow the block to float in water. Specific gravity of wood is 0.8 and that of lead is 11.3.

Answer

Let the mass of the lead piece be a kg.

Therefore, the total mass of the wood and the lead = 0.2 + akg. Density of lead = Density of water × specific gravity

= 1000 × 11.3 = 11300

Now, The volume of the lead piece $=\frac{\text{a}}{11300}\text{m}^3$

When the wooden block is just allowed to float in water, it displaces a

volume of water equal to its volume =$\frac{200}{0.8}\text{cm}^3=250\text{cm}^3$

$= 250\text{cm}^2 = 0.25\text{m}^2 $

Now, The Total volume of the water displaced $=0.25+\frac{\text{a}}{11300}\text{cm}^2$

Upthrust $= \text{V}\rho\text{g}$

$=\Big(250+\frac{\text{a}}{11300}\Big)\times 1000 \times 10$

Now:

$(0.2+\text{a})\times 10 = \Big(250+\frac{\text{x}}{11300}\Big)\times 1000\times10$

$\therefore \text{a}=54.8\text{g}$$$

Question 151 Mark

Water flows through a tube shown in The areas of cross-section at A and B are $1cm^2$ and $0.5cm^2$ respectively. The height difference between A and B is 5cm. If the speed of water at A is 10cm/s find.

The speed at B.
The difference in pressures at A and B.

Answer

Let the reference for height be the level of B. Height of A.

$=\text{h}=5\text{cm}=0.05\text{m}.\text{v}_\text{a}=10\text{cm}/\text{s}=0.10\text{cm}/\text{s}.$

Area of cross- section at $\text{A}=1\text{cm}^2=\frac{1}{10000}\text{m}^2.$

Hence the discharge $\text{Q}=0.10\times\frac{1}{10000}\text{m}^3=10^{-5}\text{m}^3$

Area of cross- section at $\text{B}=0.5\text{cm}^2=\frac{0.5}{10000}\text{m}^2$

The velocity at $\text{B}=\text{v}_\beta=\frac{10^{-5}}{\Big(\frac{0.5}{10000}\Big)}\text{m}/\text{s}=\frac{1}{5}\text{m}/\text{s}$

$=100\times\frac{1}{5}\text{cm}/\text{s}=20\text{cm}/\text{s}$

Let the pressures at A and B be Pa and PB. From the Bernoulli's theorem,

$\text{p}_\text{a}+\rho\text{gh}+\frac{1}{2}\rho\text{V}\text{a}^2=\text{p}_\beta+\frac{1}{2}\rho\beta^2+\frac{1}{2}\rho\text{v}\beta^2$

$\text{p}_\beta-\text{p}_\text{a}=\rho\text{gh}-\frac{1}{2}\rho\big(\text{V}\beta^2-\text{V}\text{a}^2\big)$

$=1000\times10\times0.05-\frac{1}{2}\times1000\times\big(0.2^2-0.1^2\big)\text{N}/\text{m}^2$

$=500-500\times(0.04-0.01)\text{N}/\text{m}^2$

$500-15\text{N}/\text{m}^2$

$=485\text{N}/\text{m}^2$

Question 191 Mark

A cubical block of ice floating in water has to support a metal piece weighing 0.5kg. What can be the minimum edge of the block so that it does not sink in water? Specific gravity of ice = 0.9.

Answer

Let I be the minimum edge of the block.
Weight of the metal and ice = weight of the water displaced
$(0.5+0.91 \%)=1^3 \times 1 \times g $
$ (0.91+500)=1^3$
$\rho=5000$
$\rho = 17.099\text{cm}$
Hence, minimum edge f the block shoud be 17.099cm.

Question 201 Mark

Find the ratio of the weights, as measured by a spring balance, of a 1kg block of iron and a 1kg block of wood. Density of iro $= 7800Kg/m^3$ density of wood $= 800kg/m^3$ and density of air $= 1.293kg/m^3$.

Answer

The spring balance measures the weight of an object. It will show the same weight

for the given iron and the wood block in the vacuum but in the air, a force of

buoyancy will act on both the blocks which will be equal to the weight of the air displaced.

The volume of iron block $=\frac{1}{7800}\text{m}^3$

The volume of wooden block $=\frac{1}{800}\text{m}^3$

The weight of air displaced by iron block$=\frac{1.293\times1}{7800}\text{Kg}$

$=\frac{1.293}{7800}\text{Kg}$

The weight of air displaced by wooden block $=\frac{1.293\times1}{800}\text{Kg}$

$=\frac{1.293}{800}\text{Kg}$

The apparent weight of the iron block shown in the spring balance $=\frac{1-1.293}{7800}\text{Kg}$

$=\frac{(7800-1.293)}{7800}\text{Kg}$

$=\frac{7798.707}{7800}\text{Kg}$

The apparent weight of the wooden block shown in the spring balance $=\frac{1-1.293}{800}\text{Kg}$

$=\frac{(800-1.293)}{800}\text{Kg}$

$=\frac{798.707}{800}\text{Kg}$

Hence the ratio of the apparent weights$=\frac{\Big(\frac{(7798.707)}{7800}\Big)}{\Big(\frac{798.707}{800}\Big)}$

$=\frac{\big(7898.707\times800\big)}{\big(7800\times798.707\big)}$

$=1.0015$

Question 221 Mark

Find the force exerted by the water on a $2 \mathrm{m}^2$ plane surface of a large stone placed at the bottom of a sea 500m deep. Does the force depend on the orientation of the surface?

Answer

Given:
Depth of the stone from the water surface, $\mathrm{h}=500 \mathrm{~m}$
Area of the plane surface of the large stone, $\mathrm{A}=2 \mathrm{M}^2$
Density of water, $\mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{w}}=10^3 \mathrm{kgm}^{-3}$
Force ( $F$ ) is given by,
$\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{P} \times \mathrm{A}=\left(\mathrm{h} p_{\mathrm{w}} \times \mathrm{g}\right) \mathrm{A}(\mathrm{P}=\text { Pressure }) $
$ \Rightarrow \mathrm{F}=\left(500 \times 10^3 \times 10\right) \times 2 $
$ =10^7 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2$
The force does not depend on the orintation of the rock when the surface area of the stone remains the same.

Question 231 Mark

A cylindrical object of outer diameter 20cm and mass 2kg floats in water with its axis vertical. If it is slightly depressed and then released, find the time period of the resulting simple harmonic motion of the object.

Answer

As per as the Principle of the Flotation, Weight of the cylindrical object = Weight of the liquid displaced. Weight of the cylindrical object = mass × g $=2\times\text{g}$
Weight of the Fluid Displaced = Upthrust = Volume of of solid immersed × density of water × g$=\pi\text{r}^2\times1\times\text{g}$
where, h is the height and r is the radius of the solid immersed in a water.$\therefore$ Weight of the fluid displaced $\pi(20)^2\text{h}\times1\times\text{g}$
$2000\times\text{g}=\pi(10)^2\text{h}\times1\times\text{g}$
$2000=\pi(10)^2\text{h}$
$2000=\pi\times100\times\text{h}$
$\therefore\text{h}=\frac{20}{\pi}\text{cm}\cdot$
Now, using the formula of the time period,$\text{T}=2\pi\sqrt{\Big(\frac{\text{h}}{\text{g}}\Big)}$
$\text{T}=2\times\frac{22}{7}\times\sqrt{\Big(\frac{20}{\pi}\times980\Big)}$
$\therefore\text{T}=0.51$ seconds.
Hence, the time period of S.H.M. is 0.51 Seconds. Hope it Helps.
