$A$ thin vertical uniform wooden rod is pivoted at the top and immersed in water as shown. The container is slowly raised. At a certain moment,the equilibrium becomes unstable. If the density of water is $9/5$ times the density of wood,then the ratio of the total length of the rod to the submerged length of the rod at that moment is:

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $4$
  • D

$A$ spray gun is shown in the figure where a piston pushes air out of a nozzle. $A$ thin tube of uniform cross section is connected to the nozzle. The other end of the tube is in a small liquid container. As the piston pushes air through the nozzle,the liquid from the container rises into the nozzle and is sprayed out. For the spray gun shown,the radii of the piston and the nozzle are $20 \ mm$ and $1 \ mm$ respectively. The upper end of the container is open to the atmosphere.
$1.$ If the piston is pushed at a speed of $5 \ mm \ s^{-1}$,the air comes out of the nozzle with a speed of
$(A)$ $0.1 \ m \ s^{-1}$ $(B)$ $1 \ m \ s^{-1}$ $(C)$ $2 \ m \ s^{-1}$ $(D)$ $8 \ m \ s^{-1}$
$2.$ If the density of air is $\rho_{a}$ and that of the liquid is $\rho_{\ell}$,then for a given piston speed,the rate (volume per unit time) at which the liquid is sprayed will be proportional to
$(A)$ $\sqrt{\frac{\rho_{a}}{\rho_{\ell}}}$ $(B)$ $\sqrt{\rho_{a} \rho_{\ell}}$ $(C)$ $\sqrt{\frac{\rho_{\ell}}{\rho_{a}}}$ $(D)$ $\rho_{\ell}$

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 $,cm^3$)

Consider the following two statements $A$ and $B$,and identify the correct choice in the given answers.
$A :$ The excess pressure inside a small liquid drop is more than that of a big drop.
$B :$ As the aeroplane moves fast on the runway,the pressure is more on the upper surface of its wings and less on the bottom surface of the wings.
