$A$ $U$-tube has a left limb with a cross-sectional area one-quarter that of the right limb. The tube contains mercury (density $13.6 \text{ g/cm}^3$). The level of mercury in the narrow (left) limb is at a distance of $36 \text{ cm}$ from the upper end of the tube. What will be the rise in the level of mercury in the right limb if the left limb is filled to the top with water (in $\text{ cm}$)? (Density of water = $1 \text{ g/cm}^3$)

  • B
    $2.35$

$A$ cylindrical furnace has height $(H)$ and diameter $(D)$ both $1 \ m$. It is maintained at temperature $T=360 \ K$. The air gets heated inside the furnace at constant pressure $P_a$ and its temperature becomes $T=360 \ K$. The hot air with density $\rho$ rises up a vertical chimney of diameter $d=0.1 \ m$ and height $h=9 \ m$ above the furnace and exits the chimney. As a result,atmospheric air of density $\rho_a=1.2 \ kg \ m^{-3}$,pressure $P_a$ and temperature $T_a=300 \ K$ enters the furnace. Assume air as an ideal gas,neglect the variations in $\rho$ and $T$ inside the chimney and the furnace. Also ignore the viscous effects. [Given: The acceleration due to gravity $g=10 \ ms^{-2}$ and $\pi=3.14$]
$(1)$ Considering the air flow to be streamline,the steady mass flow rate of air exiting the chimney is . . . . .$g \ s^{-1}$.
$(2)$ When the chimney is closed using a cap at the top,a pressure difference $\Delta P$ develops between the top and the bottom surfaces of the cap. If the changes in the temperature and density of the hot air,due to the stoppage of air flow,are negligible then the value of $\Delta P$ is . . . . .$N \ m^{-2}$.

An air bubble of volume $1\,cm^3$ rises from the bottom of a lake $40\,m$ deep to the surface at a temperature of $12^{\circ}C$. The atmospheric pressure is $1 \times 10^5\,Pa$,the density of water is $1000\,kg/m^3$,and $g = 10\,m/s^2$. There is no difference in the temperature of water at the depth of $40\,m$ and on the surface. The volume of the air bubble when it reaches the surface will be $..........\,cm^3$. (in $,cm^3$)

Two identical cylindrical vessels with their bases at the same level each contain a liquid of density $\rho$. The height of the liquid in one vessel is ${h_1}$ and that in the other vessel is ${h_2}$. The area of either base is $A$. The work done by gravity in equalizing the levels when the two vessels are connected is:
