$A$ slender homogeneous rod of length $2L$ floats partly immersed in water,being supported by a string fastened to one of its ends,as shown. The specific gravity of the rod is $0.75$. The length of the rod that extends out of water is:

$A$ balloon is made of a material of surface tension $S$ and its inflation outlet (from where gas is filled in it) has small area $A$. It is filled with a gas of density $\rho$ and takes a spherical shape of radius $R$. When the gas is allowed to flow freely out of it,its radius changes from $R$ to $0$ in time $T$. If the speed $\psi(r)$ of gas coming out of the balloon depends on $r$ as $r^\alpha$ and $T \propto S^a A^\beta \rho^\gamma R^\delta$,then:

An open cubical tank was initially fully filled with water. When the tank was accelerated on a horizontal plane along one of its sides,it was found that one-third of the volume of water spilled out. The acceleration was:

Fill in the blanks:
$(i)$ The surface tension of water at critical temperature is ......
$(ii)$ Bernoulli's equation is based on the conservation of ......
$(iii)$ The energy would be ...... if $1$ large drop of water splits into $8$ small drops of water.
$(iv)$ When strong wind passes over a building,the force acting on the building is in the ......

Explain why:
$(a)$ To keep a piece of paper horizontal,you should blow over,not under,it.
$(b)$ When we try to close a water tap with our fingers,fast jets of water gush through the openings between our fingers.
$(c)$ The size of the needle of a syringe controls flow rate better than the thumb pressure exerted by a doctor while administering an injection.
$(d)$ $A$ fluid flowing out of a small hole in a vessel results in a backward thrust on the vessel.

Fill in the blanks:
$(i)$ The cohesive force between the molecules of liquid is more than the adhesive force between the molecules of the plate, then the angle of contact obtained is ...... (acute/obtuse) and the free surface has a shape of ...... (concave/convex).
$(ii)$ The cohesive force between the molecules of liquid is less than the adhesive force between the molecules of the plate, then the angle of contact obtained is ...... (acute/obtuse) and the free surface has a shape of ...... (concave/convex).
$(iii)$ $A$ large pressure is exerted on the surface of a liquid having a shape of .......... (concave/convex).
