(N/A) Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics that deals with the behavior of fluids (liquids and gases) at rest and in motion. It is broadly divided into two main branches:
$1$. Fluid Statics: This is the study of fluids at rest. It focuses on the properties of fluids in equilibrium,such as pressure distribution and buoyancy,where there is no relative motion between fluid particles.
$2$. Fluid Dynamics: This is the study of fluids in motion. It deals with the forces acting on fluids and the resulting flow patterns,including concepts like viscosity,turbulence,and Bernoulli's principle.

$A$ cylindrical vessel of height $500 \ mm$ has an orifice (small hole) at its bottom. The orifice is initially closed and water is filled in it up to height $H$. Now the top is completely sealed with a cap and the orifice at the bottom is opened. Some water comes out from the orifice and the water level in the vessel becomes steady with the height of the water column being $200 \ mm$. Find the fall in height (in $mm$) of the water level due to the opening of the orifice.
[Take atmospheric pressure $= 1.0 \times 10^5 \ N/m^2$,density of water $= 1000 \ kg/m^3$ and $g = 10 \ m/s^2$. Neglect any effect of surface tension.]

$A$ drop of liquid of density $\rho$ is floating half-immersed in a liquid of density $d$. If $T$ is the surface tension,then the diameter of the drop is:

An air bubble rises from the bottom of a lake to the surface. If its radius increases by $200 \%$ and the atmospheric pressure is equal to a water column of height $H$,then the depth of the lake is ..... $H$.
