A tank is filled with water up to a height \(H.\) The water is allowed to come out of a hole \(P\) in one of the walls at a depth \(D\) below the surface of the water. The horizontal distance \({x}\) in terms of \(H\) and \({D}\) is:
1. \(x = \sqrt{D\left(H-D\right)}\)
2. \(x = \sqrt{\frac{D \left(H - D \right)}{2}}\)
3. \(x = 2 \sqrt{D \left(H-D\right)}\)
4. \(x = 4 \sqrt{D \left(H-D\right)}\)
The pans of a physical balance are in equilibrium. If Air is blown under the right-hand pan then the right-hand pan will:
1. | move up | 2. | move down |
3. | move erratically | 4. | remain at the same level |
A small hole of an area of cross-section \(2~\text{mm}^2\) is present near the bottom of a fully filled open tank of height \(2~\text{m}.\) Taking \((g = 10~\text{m/s}^2),\) the rate of flow of water through the open hole would be nearly:
1. \(6.4\times10^{-6}~\text{m}^{3}/\text{s}\)
2. \(12.6\times10^{-6}~\text{m}^{3}/\text{s}\)
3. \(8.9\times10^{-6}~\text{m}^{3}/\text{s}\)
4. \(2.23\times10^{-6}~\text{m}^{3}/\text{s}\)

The velocity of kerosene oil in a horizontal pipe is \(5 ~\text{m/s}.\) If \(g = 10 ~\text{m/s} ^2 ,\) then the velocity head of oil will be:
1. \(1.25 ~\text m\)
2. \(12.5 ~\text m\)
3. \(0.125 ~\text m\)
4. \(125 ~\text m\)
A wind with speed \(40~\text{m/s}\) blows parallel to the roof of a house. The area of the roof is \(250~\text{m}^2\). Assuming that the pressure inside the house is atmospheric pressure, the force exerted by the wind on the roof and the direction of the force will be: \(\left(\rho_{\text{air}}= 1.2~\text{kg/m}^3 \right)\)
1. \(4.8\times 10^{5}~\text{N}, ~\text{downwards}\)
2. \(4.8\times 10^{5}~\text{N}, ~\text{upwards}\)
3. \(2.4\times 10^{5}~\text{N}, ~\text{upwards}\)
4. \(2.4\times 10^{5}~\text{N}, ~\text{downwards}\)
The water flows through a frictionless tube with a varying cross-section as shown in the figure. The variation of pressure \(P\) at the point \(x\) along the axis is roughly given by:

The pressure of water in a water pipe when tap is opened and closed are respectively \(3\times10^5\) Nm–2 and \(3.5\times10^5\) Nm–2. With open tap, the velocity of water flowing is:
1. \(10\) ms–1
2. \(5\) ms–1
3. \(20\) ms–1
4. \(15\) ms–1
1. | \(50\) Pa | 2. | \(40\) Pa |
3. | \(25\) Pa | 4. | \(0.5\) Pa |
