Two identical cylindrical vessels with their bases at the same level, each contains a liquid of density $d$. 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

  • A
    $(h_1 - h_2)gd$
  • B
    $(h_1 - h_2)gAd$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}(h_1 - h_2)^2gAd$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{4}(h_1 - h_2)^2gAd$

$A$ cylindrical vessel containing a liquid is rotated about its axis so that the liquid rises at its sides as shown in the figure. The diameter of the vessel is $10 \, cm$ and the angular speed of rotation is $\omega \, rad \, s^{-1}$. The difference in the height,$h$ (in $cm$),of the liquid at the centre of the vessel and at the side will be

The vertical limbs of a $U$ shaped tube are filled with a liquid of density $\rho$ up to a height $h$ on each side. The horizontal portion of the $U$ tube having length $2h$ contains a liquid of density $2\rho$. The $U$ tube is moved horizontally with an acceleration $g/2$ parallel to the horizontal arm. The difference in heights in liquid levels in the two vertical limbs,at steady state,will be:

The temperature of an air bubble while rising from the bottom to the surface of a lake remains constant, but its diameter is doubled. If the pressure on the surface is $h$ meters of mercury column and the relative density of mercury is $\rho$, then the depth of the lake is: (in $\rho h$)

Given below are two statements:
$Statement$ $(I)$: Viscosity of gases is greater than that of liquids.
$Statement$ $(II)$: Surface tension of a liquid decreases due to the presence of insoluble impurities.
