$A$ $U$-tube of small and uniform cross-section contains water of total length $4H$. The height difference between the water columns on the left and on the right is $H$ when the valve $K$ is closed. The valve is suddenly opened,and water flows from left to right. Ignore friction. The speed of the water when the heights of the left and the right water columns are the same is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{4}\sqrt{gH}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{gH}{8}}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{gH}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{gH}{2}}$

Which of the following phenomena is not due to surface tension?

$A$ 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 $500 / 9$.

$A$ drop of water breaks into two droplets of equal size. In this process,which of the following statements is correct?

When a large bubble rises from the bottom of a lake to the surface, the volume of the bubble becomes $5$ times its volume at the bottom of the lake. If $H$ is the atmospheric pressure expressed in terms of water column height, then the depth of the lake is (The temperature of the water in the lake is same at all points). (in $H$)

$A$ uniform meter scale is supported at its $20 \ cm$ mark. $A$ body suspended from the $10 \ cm$ mark keeps the scale horizontal. However,the scale becomes unbalanced if the body is completely immersed in water. To regain the balance,the body is shifted to the $8 \ cm$ mark. Therefore,the specific gravity of the material of the body is
