  1. decreases

  2. remains the same

  3. increase

  4. first increases and then decreases.


Correct Option: A

A air bubble rises from bottom of a lake to surface If its radius increases by 200% and atmospheric pressure is equal to water coloumn of height H. then depth of lake is 

  1. 21H

  2. 8H

  3. 9H

  4. 26H


Correct Option: B

A large bottle is fitted with a capillary siphon. Ratio of times taken to empty the bottle when it is filled with (i) water (ii) petroleum of relative density 0.8.

$( _{water} = 0.001poise, _{petroleum} = 0.002 poise, d _{water} = 1000 kg/m^3)$

  2. 4/5

  3. 2/5

  4. 3/5


Correct Option: C

Siphon will fail to work if

  1. the densities of the liquid in the two vessels are equal

  2. the level of the liquid in the two vessels are at the same height

  3. both its limbs are of unequal length

  4. the temperature of the liquids in the two vessels are the same


Correct Option: B

A ${ 16cm }^{ 3 }$ volume of water flows per second through a capillary tube of radius r cm and of length 1 cm, when connected to a pressure head of h cm of water. If a tube of the same length and radius r/2 is connected to the same pressure head, find the mass of water flowing per minute through the tube 

  1. 80 gram/min

  2. 70 gram/min

  3. 60 gram/min

  4. 50 gram/min


Correct Option: C

If it takes $5$ minutes to fill a 15 litre bucket  from a water tap of diameter $\frac{2}{\sqrt{\pi}}$ cm then the Reynolds number for the flow is (density of water = $10^3 kg/m^3$ and viscosity of water = $10^{-3}$Pa.s) close to

  1. $11,000$

  2. $550$

  3. $1100$

Correct Option: D


In a weather map, lines joining all those regions with same atmospheric pressure are called

  1. Bars

  2. Millibars

  3. Isobars

  4. None


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In a weather map, lines joining all those regions with same atmospheric pressure are called isobars.

Atmospheric pressure at sea level is

  1. 1.013 103 Pa

  2. 1.013 104 Pa

  3. 1.013 105 Pa

  4. 1.013 106 Pa


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure at sea level is $ 1.013 105 \times 10^5 $ Pa.

Unit for pressure used in weather maps is millibar. 1 millibar is equal to

  1. 1000 bar

  2. 100kPa

  3. 100Pa

  4. 1atm


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

1 bar $ = 10^5$ Pa

$\therefore$  1 millibar $ = 100$ Pa

We sit in the room with windows open. Then

  1. Air pressure on the floor of the room equals the atmospheric pressure but the air pressure on the ceiling is eligible

  2. Air pressure is nearly the same on the floor, the walls and ceiling

  3. Air pressure on the floor equals the weight of the air coloumn inside the room (from floor to the ceiling) per unit area

  4. Air pressure on the walls is zero since the weight of air acts downward


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Pressure of gas is same everywhere in the vessel.
