Two identical cylindrical vessels with their bases at the same level each contain a liquid of density $\rho$. 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})g\rho $
  • B
    $({h_1} - {h_2})gA\rho $
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}{({h_1} - {h_2})^2}gA\rho $
  • D
    $\frac{1}{4}{({h_1} - {h_2})^2}gA\rho $

$A$ 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)

$A$ 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:
