Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: Pressure of fluid is exerted only on a solid surface in contact as the fluid-pressure does not exist everywhere in a still fluid.
Statement $II$: Excess potential energy of the molecules on the surface of a liquid, when compared to interior, results in surface tension.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

  • A
    Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false
  • B
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are false
  • C
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true
  • D
    Statement $I$ is false but Statement $II$ is true

What is dynamic lift?

$A$ bucket contains water filled up to a height $h = 15 \ cm$. The bucket is tied to a rope which is passed over a frictionless light pulley,and the other end of the rope is tied to a weight of mass which is half of that of the (bucket $+$ water). The water pressure above atmospheric pressure at the bottom is ....... $kPa$.

$A$ table tennis ball has radius $(3 / 2) \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}$ and mass $(22 / 7) \times 10^{-3} \text{ kg}$. It is slowly pushed down into a swimming pool to a depth of $d = 0.7 \text{ m}$ below the water surface and then released from rest. It emerges from the water surface at speed $v$,without getting wet,and rises up to a height $H$. Which of the following option$(s)$ is (are) correct?
[Given: $\pi = 22 / 7, g = 10 \text{ ms}^{-2}$,density of water $= 1 \times 10^3 \text{ kg m}^{-3}$,viscosity of water $= 1 \times 10^{-3} \text{ Pa-s}$.]
$(A)$ The work done in pushing the ball to the depth $d$ is $0.077 \text{ J}$.
$(B)$ If we neglect the viscous force in water,then the speed $v = 7 \text{ m/s}$.
$(C)$ If we neglect the viscous force in water,then the height $H = 1.4 \text{ m}$.
$(D)$ The ratio of the magnitudes of the net force excluding the viscous force to the maximum viscous force in water is $500 / 9$.

$A$ liquid is kept in a cylindrical vessel which is rotated along its axis. The liquid rises at the sides. If the radius of the vessel is $0.05\,m$ and the speed of rotation is $2\,rev/s$,the difference in the height of the liquid at the center of the vessel and its sides will be .............. $cm$ $(\pi^2 = 10)$.
