Water coming out of a horizontal tube at a speed $v$ strikes a vertical wall normally,close to the mouth of the tube,and falls down vertically after impact. When the speed of water is increased to $2v$:

  • A
    the thrust exerted by the water on the wall will be doubled.
  • B
    the thrust exerted by the water on the wall will be four times.
  • C
    the energy lost per second by water striking the wall will be increased eight times.
  • D
    $B$ and $C$ both.

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.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

$A$ 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)

Match the columns $I$ and $II$:
Column $I$ Column $II$
$A$. Stoke's law $I$. Pressure and energy
$B$. Turbulence $II$. Hydraulic lift
$C$. Bernoulli's Principle $III$. Viscous drag
$D$. Pascal's law $IV$. Reynold's number

The correct match is:

When an air bubble of radius $r$ rises from the bottom to the surface of a lake,its radius becomes $\frac{5r}{4}$. Taking the atmospheric pressure to be equal to $10 \ m$ height of water column,the depth of the lake would approximately be ....... $m$ (ignore the surface tension and the effect of temperature).
