Question 4.

How do you define “average pressure” in case of a fluid?

 

Question 5.

Give some units of Pressure and relate them with Pascal.

 

Question 6.

Ankita having mass 45 kg wearing high heel shoes balances on a single heel. The heel is circular with a diameter 0.5 cm. What is the pressure exerted by the heel on the horizontal floor?

 

Question 7.

What does Pascal’s law state?

 

Question 8.

What is the largest average velocity of blood flow in an artery of radius 1.5×10^–3 m if the flow must remain laminar? (b) What is the corresponding flow rate? (Take viscosity of blood to be 2.084 × 10^–3 Pa-s).

 

Question 9.

Give a pressure and density relation in an incompressible fluid.

 

Question 10.

A U-shaped wire is dipped in a soap solution, and removed. The thin soap film formed between the wire and the light slider supports a weight of 2.0 × 10^–2 N (which includes the small weight of the slider). The length of the slider is 25 cm. What is the surface tension of the film?

 

Question 11.

The cylindrical tube of a spray pump has a cross-section of 10.0 cm² one end of which has 50 fine holes each of diameter 0.5 mm. If the liquid flow inside the tube is 2.0 m-min^–1, what is the speed of ejection of the liquid through the holes?

 

Question 12.

State Bernoulli’s principle.

 

Question 13.

A plane is in level flight at constant speed and each of its two wings has an area of 30 m². If the speed of the air is 210 km/h over the lower wing and 250 km/h over the upper wing surface, determine the plane’s mass. (Take air density to be 1 kg m^–3).

 

Question 14.

What is gauge pressure?

 

Question 15.
