State whether the following statements are True or False:
$(i)$ If the weight of a body is greater than the buoyant force of the liquid,the body floats on the surface of the liquid.
$(ii)$ The velocity of water at the bottom of a river is always slower than at the surface.
$(iii)$ The angle of contact increases with an increase in the temperature of the liquid.

(N/A) $(i)$ False. If the weight of the body is greater than the buoyant force,the body will sink in the liquid.
$(ii)$ True. Due to the viscosity of water and the friction between the water and the riverbed,the velocity of water is lowest at the bottom and highest near the surface.
$(iii)$ False. The angle of contact generally decreases as the temperature of the liquid increases because the surface tension of the liquid decreases with an increase in temperature.

$A$ large number of droplets,each of radius $r$,coalesce to form a bigger drop of radius $R$. An engineer designs a machine so that the energy released in this process is converted into the kinetic energy of the drop. The velocity of the drop is ($T=$ surface tension,$\rho =$ density)

$(a)$ It is known that the density $\rho$ of air decreases with height $y$ as $\rho = \rho_{0} e^{-y / y_{0}}$,where $\rho_{0} = 1.25 \; kg \, m^{-3}$ is the density at sea level,and $y_{0}$ is a constant. This density variation is called the law of atmospheres. Obtain this law assuming that the temperature of the atmosphere remains constant (isothermal conditions). Also,assume that the value of $g$ remains constant.
