Multiple Choice Questions

Question 1: At shallow depth h in the ocean the pressure is \( P=P_0+\rho gh \). As we go deeper, the high pressure compresses the water, so it becomes denser. Which description of the dependence of the pressure on depth is correct?
(a) P increases faster than linearly with h (its slope grows with depth)
(b) P increases exactly linearly with h
(c) P increases with a decreasing slope with h
(d) P approaches a constant limit as h increases
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) P increases faster than linearly with h (its slope grows with depth)

Explanation:
1. The slope of the pressure-depth graph is \( \frac{dP}{dh}=\rho g \).
2. Because \( \rho \) increases with depth, the slope increases too, so P rises faster than linearly: the curve bends upward.

Question 2: A soap bubble of radius r is blown at the end of a tube connected to a manometer in which the liquid of density \( \rho \) shows a difference in height h. The surface tension T of the soap solution is:
(a) \( T=2r\rho hg \)
(b) \( T=\frac{rh\rho g}{4} \)
(c) \( T=\frac{rh\rho g}{2} \)
(d) \( T=\frac{2\pi rh\rho g}{2} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \( T=\frac{rh\rho g}{4} \)

Explanation:
1. A soap bubble has two surfaces, so the excess pressure inside is \( \frac{4T}{r} \).
2. The manometer measures this: \( \frac{4T}{r}=h\rho g \), so \( T=\frac{rh\rho g}{4} \).

Question 3: A container has a vertical tube connected at its side. An unknown liquid stands at level A in the container and level B in the tube, with level A being 5.0 cm higher than B. The liquid supports a 20.0 cm high column of oil (density 500 kg/m³) in the tube, between level B and the open top C. The density of the unknown liquid is:
(a) \( 1800\ \text{kg/m}^3 \)
(b) \( 1400\ \text{kg/m}^3 \)
(c) \( 2000\ \text{kg/m}^3 \)
(d) \( 1600\ \text{kg/m}^3 \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) \( 2000\ \text{kg/m}^3 \)

Explanation:
1. Take the pressure at the horizontal level B. In the tube it is \( P_0+\rho_{oil}g(0.20) \).
2. In the container the same level is 5 cm below the free surface: \( P_0+\rho g(0.05) \).
3. Equating: \( \rho=\frac{500\times0.20}{0.05}=2000 \) kg/m³.

Question 4: A vented tank of large cross-sectional area has a horizontal pipe 0.12 m in diameter at the bottom. The tank holds a liquid of density 1500 kg/m³ to a height of 4.0 m. Assuming ideal fluid and laminar flow, the velocity with which the fluid flows out of the pipe is (g = 10 m/s²):
(a) \( 2\sqrt5\ \text{m/s} \)
(b) \( \sqrt5\ \text{m/s} \)
(c) \( \sqrt{10}\ \text{m/s} \)
(d) \( 4\sqrt5\ \text{m/s} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \( 4\sqrt5\ \text{m/s} \)

Explanation:
1. Torricelli's law: \( v=\sqrt{2gh} \).
2. \( v=\sqrt{2\times10\times4}=\sqrt{80}=4\sqrt5 \) m/s. The density and pipe diameter do not matter.

Question 5: An ideal fluid flows through a pipe of circular cross-section made of two sections with diameters 2.5 cm and 3.75 cm. The ratio of the velocities in the two sections (narrow : wide) is:
(a) 9 : 4
(b) 3 : 2
(c) \( \sqrt3:\sqrt2 \)
(d) \( \sqrt2:\sqrt3 \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 9 : 4

Explanation:
1. Continuity: \( A_1v_1=A_2v_2 \), so \( \frac{v_1}{v_2}=\frac{d_2^2}{d_1^2} \).
2. \( \frac{v_1}{v_2}=\left(\frac{3.75}{2.5}\right)^2=\frac94 \).

Question 6: A wooden block with a coin placed on its top floats in a vessel of water. After some time the coin falls into the water (and sinks). The level of the water in the vessel, measured from the bottom, then:
(a) increases
(b) decreases
(c) remains the same
(d) first increases and then decreases
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) decreases

Explanation:
1. While the coin is on the block, the total weight of block plus coin is balanced by buoyancy, so the displaced volume is \( \frac{W_b+W_c}{\rho_wg} \).
2. After the coin sinks, the block displaces \( \frac{W_b}{\rho_wg} \) and the coin displaces only its own volume, which is less than \( \frac{W_c}{\rho_wg} \) since the coin is denser than water. The total displaced volume decreases, so the water level falls.

Question 7: Water is poured into a vessel at a constant rate \( \phi\ \text{m}^3/\text{s} \). There is a small aperture of cross-sectional area a at the bottom of the vessel. The maximum level of water in the vessel is proportional to:
(a) \( \phi \)
(b) \( \frac1a \)
(c) \( \phi^2 \)
(d) \( \frac1{a^2} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) \( \phi^2 \)

Explanation:
1. The maximum level is reached when the inflow equals the outflow: \( \phi=a\sqrt{2gh} \).
2. \( h=\frac{\phi^2}{2ga^2}\propto\phi^2 \). (It is also proportional to \( \frac{1}{a^2} \).)

Question 8: A small spherical ball falling through a viscous medium of negligible density has terminal velocity v. Another ball of the same mass but radius twice that of the first falls through the same medium. Its terminal velocity will be:
(a) \( v \)
(b) \( \frac v4 \)
(c) \( 2v \)
(d) \( \frac v2 \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \( \frac v2 \)

Explanation:
1. With negligible buoyancy, \( mg=6\pi\eta rv_t \), so \( v_t\propto\frac mr \).
2. The same mass and double the radius gives \( v_t'=\frac v2 \).

Question 9: A uniform rod AB of length 12 m and mass 24 kg is supported at end B by a light flexible string, and a lead weight of 12 kg (of very small size, so its buoyancy can be neglected) is attached at end A. The rod floats in water with half of its length submerged (g = 10 m/s², density of water 1000 kg/m³). The volume of the rod is:
(a) \( 6.4\times10^{-2}\ \text{m}^3 \)
(b) \( 3.2\times10^{-2}\ \text{m}^3 \)
(c) \( 1.6\times10^{-1}\ \text{m}^3 \)
(d) \( 2.4\times10^{-2}\ \text{m}^3 \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) \( 6.4\times10^{-2}\ \text{m}^3 \)

Explanation:
1. Take torques about B. The weight of the rod (240 N) acts 6 m from B, the lead weight (120 N) acts 12 m from B, and the buoyancy F acts at the middle of the submerged half, 9 m from B (same angle factor in all terms).
2. \( 240\times6+120\times12=F\times9 \), so \( F=320 \) N. The tension is \( 360-320=40 \) N.
3. Submerged volume \( =\frac{320}{1000\times10}=0.032 \) m³, so the whole rod has volume \( 0.064 \) m³ \( =6.4\times10^{-2} \) m³.

Question 10: Air at pressure \( P_1 \) is in a cylinder-piston arrangement, and a soap bubble of radius r and surface tension T lies inside the cylinder. The air is compressed isothermally to pressure \( P_2 \) so that the radius of the bubble is halved. \( P_2 \) is:
(a) \( P_1+\frac{4T}{r} \)
(b) \( 8P_1+\frac{24T}{r} \)
(c) \( 4P_1+\frac{12T}{r} \)
(d) \( P_1+\frac{2T}{r} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \( 8P_1+\frac{24T}{r} \)

Explanation:
1. The pressure of the air inside the bubble is \( P+\frac{4T}{r} \). Initially \( p_{in,1}=P_1+\frac{4T}{r} \); finally \( p_{in,2}=P_2+\frac{8T}{r} \).
2. The volume of the bubble falls to one eighth, and isothermally \( p_{in,2}=8p_{in,1} \).
3. \( P_2+\frac{8T}{r}=8P_1+\frac{32T}{r} \), so \( P_2=8P_1+\frac{24T}{r} \).

Question 11: A tank is filled with water of density 1 g/cm³ to a height of 100 cm, with a layer of oil of density 0.9 g/cm³ and height 400 cm on top. If g = 980 cm/s², the velocity of efflux from an opening in the bottom of the tank is:
(a) \( \sqrt{900\times980}\ \text{cm/s} \)
(b) \( \sqrt{1000\times980}\ \text{cm/s} \)
(c) \( \sqrt{920\times980}\ \text{cm/s} \)
(d) \( \sqrt{950\times980}\ \text{cm/s} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) \( \sqrt{920\times980}\ \text{cm/s} \)

Explanation:
1. Pressure at the bottom above atmospheric: \( p=(1\times100+0.9\times400)g=460g \) (in g/cm² units of weight).
2. The escaping liquid is water: \( \frac12\rho_wv^2=p \), so \( v=\sqrt{2\times460\times980}=\sqrt{920\times980} \) cm/s.

Question 12: A cylinder is filled with a liquid of density d up to a height h. If the cylinder is at rest, the mean pressure (gauge) on the side wall is:
(a) \( \frac{hdg}{4} \)
(b) \( 2hdg \)
(c) \( hdg \)
(d) \( \frac{hdg}{2} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \( \frac{hdg}{2} \)

Explanation:
1. The pressure increases linearly from 0 at the top to \( hdg \) at the bottom.
2. The mean over the wall is \( \frac{0+hdg}{2}=\frac{hdg}{2} \).

Question 13: Two drops of equal radius coalesce to form a bigger drop. The ratio of the final to the initial surface energy is:
(a) \( 1:2^{1/3} \)
(b) \( 2^{1/2}:1 \)
(c) 1 : 1
(d) none of these
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) \( 1:2^{1/3} \)

Explanation:
1. Volume conserved: \( R=2^{1/3}r \).
2. Final energy \( =4\pi R^2T=2^{2/3}\,4\pi r^2T \); initial \( =2\times4\pi r^2T \). Ratio \( =\frac{2^{2/3}}{2}=2^{-1/3} \), i.e. \( 1:2^{1/3} \).

Question 16: A small wooden ball of density D is immersed in water of density d to a depth h below the surface and then released. The height to which the ball will jump out of the water (D less than d, neglect drag) is:
(a) \( \frac dDh \)
(b) \( h \)
(c) zero
(d) \( \left(\frac dD-1\right)h \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \( \left(\frac dD-1\right)h \)

Explanation:
1. Net upward force \( =(d-D)Vg \), so \( a=\frac{(d-D)g}{D} \). At the surface \( v^2=2ah=2gh\frac{d-D}{D} \).
2. Above the surface the ball rises \( H=\frac{v^2}{2g}=\left(\frac dD-1\right)h \).

Question 17: A piece of ice is floating in a beaker containing a thick sugar solution. As the ice melts, the total level of the liquid:
(a) increases
(b) decreases
(c) remains unchanged
(d) cannot be predicted
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) increases

Explanation:
1. The ice displaces its weight of the denser solution: \( V_d=\frac{m}{\rho_{sol}} \).
2. The melted ice occupies \( \frac{m}{\rho_w} \), which is larger because \( \rho_w\lt \rho_{sol} \). So the liquid level rises.

Question 18: Two raindrops reach the earth with different terminal velocities in the ratio 9 : 4. The ratio of their volumes is:
(a) 3 : 2
(b) 27 : 8
(c) 4 : 9
(d) 9 : 4
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) 27 : 8

Explanation:
1. Terminal velocity \( \propto r^2 \), so \( \frac{r_1}{r_2}=\sqrt{\frac94}=\frac32 \).
2. Volume \( \propto r^3 \): \( \frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{27}{8} \).

Answer: (c) \( \rho_1\lt \rho_3\lt \rho_2 \)

Explanation:
1. The lighter liquid is on top, so \( \rho_1\lt \rho_2 \).
2. The ball sinks through liquid 1 (so \( \rho_3\gt \rho_1 \)) but floats on liquid 2 (so \( \rho_3\lt \rho_2 \)). Hence \( \rho_1\lt \rho_3\lt \rho_2 \).

Question 20: A hole is made at the bottom of a tank filled with water (density 1000 kg/m³). If the total pressure at the bottom of the tank is 3 atm (1 atm = \( 10^5 \) N/m²), the velocity of efflux is:
(a) \( \sqrt{200}\ \text{m/s} \)
(b) \( \sqrt{500}\ \text{m/s} \)
(c) \( \sqrt{800}\ \text{m/s} \)
(d) \( \sqrt{400}\ \text{m/s} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \( \sqrt{400}\ \text{m/s} \)

Explanation:
1. Pressure difference between the inside at the hole and the outside atmosphere \( =3-1=2 \) atm \( =2\times10^5 \) Pa.
2. \( \frac12\rho v^2=2\times10^5 \), so \( v=\sqrt{\frac{4\times10^5}{1000}}=\sqrt{400} \) m/s.

Question 21: An ice cube floats in water, above which a layer of lighter oil has been poured so that the cube also sticks out into the oil. As the ice melts completely, the level of the oil-water interface and the uppermost level of the oil will respectively:
(a) rise and fall
(b) fall and rise
(c) not change and not change
(d) not change and fall
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) rise and fall

Explanation:
1. The ice displaces weight-equivalents of both water and oil: \( m=\rho_wV_w+\rho_oV_o \). After melting, the water formed has volume \( \frac{m}{\rho_w}=V_w+\frac{\rho_o}{\rho_w}V_o \).
2. The melt water exceeds the volume of water displaced, \( V_w \), so the interface rises. It is less than \( V_w+V_o \), the total volume displaced, so the top level of the oil falls.

Question 22: On heating water, bubbles form at the bottom of the vessel, detach and rise. Take the bubbles to be spheres of radius R making a circular contact of radius r with the bottom of the vessel, with \( r\ll R \). If the surface tension of water is T and its density is \( \rho_w \), the value of r just before the bubble detaches is:
(a) \( R^2\sqrt{\frac{\rho_wg}{6T}} \)
(b) \( R^2\sqrt{\frac{2\rho_wg}{3T}} \)
(c) \( R^2\sqrt{\frac{\rho_wg}{T}} \)
(d) \( R^2\sqrt{\frac{3\rho_wg}{T}} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \( R^2\sqrt{\frac{2\rho_wg}{3T}} \)

Explanation:
1. The surface tension force holds the bubble down: vertical component \( 2\pi rT\sin\phi \) with \( \sin\phi=\frac rR \), so \( F_T=\frac{2\pi r^2T}{R} \).
2. At detachment it equals the buoyancy: \( \frac43\pi R^3\rho_wg=\frac{2\pi r^2T}{R} \).
3. \( r^2=\frac{2R^4\rho_wg}{3T} \), so \( r=R^2\sqrt{\frac{2\rho_wg}{3T}} \).
