A certain number of spherical drops of a liquid of radius r coalesce to form a single drop of radius R and volume V. If T is the surface tension of the liquid, then

  • Energy = 4VT open parentheses 1 over straight r minus 1 over straight R close parentheses is released.

  • Energy = 3VTopen parentheses 1 over straight r plus 1 over R close parentheses is absorbed

  • Energy = 3 VT open parentheses 1 over straight r minus 1 over straight R close parentheses is released

  • Energy is neither absorbed nor released.

Solution

C.

Energy = 3 VT open parentheses 1 over straight r minus 1 over straight R close parentheses is released

If the surface area changes, it will change the surface energy also.
When the surface area decreases, it means energy is released ad vice-versa.
Change in surface energy is increment straight A space straight x space straight T   ... (i)
Let, there be n number of drops initially.
So, increment straight A space equals space 4 πR squared space minus space straight n space left parenthesis 4 πr squared right parenthesis       ... (ii)
Volume is constant.
So, straight n space 4 over 3 πr cubed space equals space 4 over 3 πr cubed space equals space straight V         ... (iii)
From equations (ii) and (iii), we have
increment straight A space equals space 3 over straight R fraction numerator 4 straight pi over denominator 3 end fraction xR cubed space minus space 3 over straight r open parentheses straight n fraction numerator 4 straight pi over denominator 3 straight r cubed end fraction close parentheses
space space space space space space space space equals space space 3 over straight R xV space minus space 3 over straight r straight V
increment straight A space space equals space 3 straight V space open parentheses 1 over straight R minus 1 over straight r close parentheses
space space space space space space space space equals space left parenthesis negative right parenthesis ve space value
Since, R > r, incrementA is negative.
That is, the surface area is decreased.
Hence, energy must be released.
Energy released = increment straight A space straight x space straight T space equals space minus 3 VT open parentheses 1 over straight r minus 1 over straight R close parentheses
In the above expression, (-)ve sign shows that amount of energy is released.

A U tube with both ends open to the atmosphere is partially filled with water. Oil, which is immiscible with water, is poured into one side until it stands at a distance of 10 mm above the water level on the other side. Meanwhile, the water rises by 65 mm from its original level (see diagram). The density of the oil is

  • 650 kg m–3

  • 425 kg m–3

  • 800 kg m–3

  • 928 kg m–3

Solution

Solution

A.

1,-1,-1

According to the principle of homogeneity of dimension states that, a physical quantity equation will be dimensionally correct if the dimension of all the terms occurring on both sides of the equations is same.
Given critical velocity of liquid flowing through a tube are expressed as

Question
CBSEENPH11020612

The wettability of a surface by a liquid depends primarily on

  • viscosity

  • surface tension

  • density

  • angle of contact between the surface and the liquid

Solution

D.

angle of contact between the surface and the liquid

The value of angle of contact determines whether a liquid will spread on the surface or not.

The wind with speed 40 m/s blows parallel to the roof of a house. The area of the roof is 250m2. Assuming that the pressure inside the house is atmospheric pressure, the force exerted by the wind on the roof and the direction of the force will be( pair = 1.2 kg/m3)

  • 4.8 x 105 N, downwards

  • 4.8 x105 N , upwards

  • 2.4 x 105 N , upwards

  • 2.4 x 105 N , upwards

Solution

C.

2.4 x 105 N , upwards

From Bernoulli's theorem
straight p subscript 1 space plus 1 half ρv subscript 1 superscript 2 space equals space straight p subscript 2 plus 1 half ρv subscript 2 superscript 2
Where p1,p2 are pressure inside and outside the roof and v1, v2 are velocities of the wind inside and outside the roof. Neglect the Width of the roof.
Pressure difference is 
p1 -p2 =straight p subscript 1 space minus straight p subscript 2 space equals space 1 half straight rho space left parenthesis straight v subscript 2 superscript 2 minus straight v subscript 1 superscript 2 right parenthesis
equals space 1 half space straight x space 1.2 space left parenthesis 40 squared minus 0 right parenthesis space equals space 960 space straight N divided by straight m squared
Force acting on the roof is given by
F= (p1 -p2) A = 960 x 250
 = 24 x 104 N  = 24 x 105 N
As the pressure inside the roof is more than outside to it. So the force will act in the upward direction i.e. F = 24 x 105 N -upward.
