Properties of Matter 3 Question 2

8. Water is filled up to a height h in a beaker of radius R as shown in the figure. The density of water is ρ, the surface tension of water is T and the atmospheric pressure is p0. Consider a vertical section ABCD of the water column through a diameter of the beaker. The force on water on one side of this section by water on the other side of this section has magnitude

(a) |2p0Rh+πR2ρgh2RT|

(2007, 3M)

(b) |2p0Rh+Rρgh22RT|

(c) |p0πR2+Rρgh22RT|

(d) |p0πR2+Rρgh2+2RT|

Objective Questions II (Only one correct option)

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 8. (a)

Solution:

  1. Velocity of efflux at a depth h is given by v=2gh. Volume of water flowing out per second from both the holes are equal.

a1v1=a2v2 or (L2)2g(y)=πR22g(4y) or R=L2π
