Properties of Matter 4 Question 6

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

(2007, 3M)

(a) |2p0Rh+πR2ρgh2RT|

(b) |2p0Rh+Rρgh22RT|

(c) |p0πR2+Rρgh22RT|

(d) |p0πR2+Rρgh2+2RT|

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 8. (b)

Solution:

  1. Force from right hand side liquid on left hand side liquid.

(i) Due to surface tension force =2RT (towards right)

(ii) Due to liquid pressure force

=x=0x=h(p0+ρgh)(2Rx)dx=(2p0Rh+Rρgh2)( towards left )

Net force is |2p0Rh+Rρgh22RT|
