1. The force on disc shaped piston from right is the pressure at centre of disc multiplied by
area of disc. The force on disc from left side is atmospheric pressure into area of the disc.
For disc to be in equilibrium the pressure of fluid at cent of disc should be equal to
atmospheric pressure. Hence the height H should be equal to R.
2. From equation of continuity (Av = constant)

Here, v is the velocity of water with which water comes out of the syringe
(Horizontally).Solving eq. (i), we get
v = 4m/s.The path of water after leaving the syringe will be parabola. Substituting proper

6. Applying Bernoulli's Theorem at point A and B, when the flow is stopped.
Pa + 0 + 0 = P + g (h – ) + 0
here  is the distance by which the water
level has descended. ( = 0.5 m)
P = Pa – g (h – )

7. In raising the liquid by height h till the equilibrium is reached, work done by surface
tension is 2π rS h and work done by weight is mgh/2 (whose magnitude is half of that by
surface tension). Here r is the radius of the tube.
Hence heat liberated isQ = π r S h.

12. As the pressure of liquid decreases when it goes upwards, the radius of bubble must
increase.
13. Force exerted by liquid on base is 2hgA, and pressure at the base is2hg.
If we make fbd of liquid at rest then the downward force is weight W, and that by the
slant walls, while upward force is F by base.
Hence force by slant wall + W = F. Thus Options C and D are correct.
14. As the drops coalesce, the final surface area is decreased. Hence the surface energy of
final drop is lesser that sum total of both initial drops. Hence energy is released.
15. For liquid to come out from top, the upper surface must first become plane,
thus the upward force will become zero, hence it neither goes up or down. But
 the angle of contact becomes so that it corresponds to this equilibrium height. Hence the
surface will no longer be hemispherical.
16. Pressure inside smallest bubble is largest: Hence air will flow from both bubble’s into
bubble B.
17. Force delivered by liquid on wall is av2 and the power delivered by wall to liquid is
proportional to Fv, i.e., av3 Hence Force becomes 4 times and energy lost becomes 8
times.

19. (A) Net Force exerted by liquid A on cylinder is zero.
(B) There being no atmospheric pressure, force exerted by liquid B is also equal to
atmospheric pressure. Also Buoyant force is (hA 0.7 + hB1.2) Sg = 1.8 1000

(C) In equilibrium Buoyant force will be equal to weight
(hA 0.7 + hB1.2) Sg = (h+hA+hB)  S  0.8  g.
Solving h= 0.25 cm

(D)The resulting force on the block will be 0.25  S 1.2 g and the mass of cylinder is
2.25S0.8. Hence the acceleration of cylinder is 1.67 m/s2
