The two thigh bones (femurs), each of cross-sectional area \(10\) cm2 support the upper part of a human body of mass \(40\) kg. The average pressure sustained by the femurs is:
1. \(0.2\times 10^{5}\) Nm–2
2. \(2\times10^{5}\) Nm–2
3. \(20\times10^{5}\) Nm–2
4. \(20\times10^{6}\) Nm–2
Pressure on a swimmer \(10\) m below the surface of a lake is:
(Atmospheric pressure= \(1.01\times10^{5}\) Pa, density of water = \(1000\) kg/m3 and \(g=10\) m/s2)
1. | \(5\) atm | 2. | \(4\) atm |
3. | \(2\) atm | 4. | \(3\) atm |
1. | \(8~\text{km}\) | 2. | \(5~\text{km}\) |
3. | \(7~\text{km}\) | 4. | \(6~\text{km}\) |
Two syringes of different cross-sections (without needles) filled with water are connected with a tightly fitted rubber tube filled with water. Diameters of the smaller piston and larger piston are \(1.0\) cm and \(3.0\) cm respectively. Force exerted on the larger piston when a force of \(10\) N is applied to the smaller piston:
1. \(80\) N
2. \(90\) N
3. \(10\) N
4. \(20\) N
