A wind with speed $$40\,m/s$$ blows parallel to the roof of a house. The area of the roof is $$250\,{m^2}.$$ 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
$$\left( {{p_{{\text{air}}}} = 1.2\,kg/{m^3}} \right)$$
From Bernoulli's theorem $${p_1} + \frac{1}{2}pv_1^2 = {p_2} + \frac{1}{2}pv_2^2$$
where, $${p_1},{p_2}$$ are pressure inside and outside the roof and $${v_1},{v_2}$$ are velocities of wind inside and outside the roof. Neglect the width of the roof. Pressure difference is
$$\eqalign{
& {p_1} - {p_2} = \frac{1}{2}\rho \left( {v_2^2 - v_1^2} \right) = \frac{1}{2} \times 1.2\left( {{{40}^2} - 0} \right) \cr
& = 960\,N/{m^2} \cr} $$
Force acting on the roof is given by
$$\eqalign{
& F = \left( {{p_1} - {p_2}} \right)A = 960 \times 250 \cr
& = 24 \times {10^4}N = 2.4 \times {10^5}N \cr} $$
As the pressure inside the roof is more than outside to it. So the force will act in the upward direction,
i.e. $$F = 2.4 \times {10^5}N{\text{ - upwards}}{\text{.}}$$

A man grows into a giant such that his linear dimensions increase by a factor of $$9.$$ Assuming that his density remains same, the stress in the leg will change by a factor of-
A
$$81$$
B
$$\frac{1}{{81}}$$
C
$$9$$
D
$$\frac{1}{{9}}$$
Answer :
$$9$$
As linear dimension increases by a factor of 9
$$\therefore \frac{{{v_f}}}{{{v_i}}} = {9^3}$$
$$\because $$ Density remain same
So, mass $$ \propto $$ volume
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{{{m_f}}}{{{m_i}}} = {9^3}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow \frac{{{{\left( {Area} \right)}_f}}}{{{{\left( {Area} \right)}_i}}} = {9^2} \cr
& {\text{Strees }}\left( \sigma \right) = \frac{{force}}{{area}} = \frac{{\left( {mass} \right) \times g}}{{area}} \cr
& \frac{{{\sigma _2}}}{{{\sigma _1}}} = \left( {\frac{{{m_f}}}{{{m_i}}}} \right)\left( {\frac{{{A_i}}}{{{A_f}}}} \right) = \frac{{{9^3}}}{{{9^2}}} = 9 \cr} $$

If two soap e bubbles of different radii are connected by a tube.
A
air flows from the smaller bubble to the bigger
B
air flows from bigger bubble to the smaller bubble till the sizes are interchanged
C
air flows from the bigger bubble to the smaller bubble till the sizes become equal
D
there is no flow of air
Answer :
air flows from the smaller bubble to the bigger
$$\eqalign{
& {p_0} - {p_i} = \frac{{2T}}{R} \cr
& \therefore {P_1} > {P_2} \cr} $$
hence air moves from smaller bubble to bigger bubble.

Two capillary of length $$L$$ and $$2L$$ and of radius $$R$$ and $$2R$$ are connected in series. The net rate of flow of fluid through them will be (given rate to the flow through single capillary, $$X = \frac{{\pi P{R^4}}}{{8\eta L}}$$
A
$$\frac{8}{9}X$$
B
$$\frac{9}{8}X$$
C
$$\frac{5}{7}X$$
D
$$\frac{7}{5}X$$
Answer :
$$\frac{8}{9}X$$
Fluid resistance is given by $$R = \frac{{8\eta L}}{4}$$
When two capillary tubes of same size are joined in series, then equivalent fluid resistance is
$${R_S} = \frac{{8\eta L}}{{\pi {R^4}}} + \frac{{8\eta \times 2L}}{{\pi {{\left( {2R} \right)}^4}}} = \left( {\frac{{8\eta L}}{{\pi {R^4}}}} \right) \times \frac{9}{8}$$
Rate of flow = $$ = \frac{P}{{{R_S}}} = \frac{{\pi P{R^4}}}{{8\eta L}} \times \frac{8}{9} = \frac{8}{9}X\,\,\left[ {{\text{as}}\,X = \frac{{\pi P{R^4}}}{{8\eta L}}} \right]$$

A tank with a small hole at the bottom has been filled with water and kerosene (specific gravity $$0.8$$ ). The height of water is $$3\,m$$ and that of kerosene $$2\,m.$$ When the hole is opened the velocity of fluid coming out from it is nearly: (take $$g = 10\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$ and density of water $$ = {10^3}\,kg\,{m^{ - 3}}$$ )
A
$$10.7\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$
B
$$9.8\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$
C
$$8.5\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$
D
$$7.6\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$
Answer :
$$9.8\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$
According to Toricelli’s theorem,
Velocity of efflex,
$${V_{{\text{eff}}}} = \sqrt {2gh} = \sqrt {2 \times 9.8 \times 5} \cong 9.8\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$

An elevator cable is to have a maximum stress of $$7 \times {10^7}\,N/{m^2}$$ to allow for appropriate safety factors. Its maximum upward acceleration is $$1.5\,m/{s^2}.$$ If the cable has to support the total weight of $$2000\,kg$$ of a loaded elevator, the area of cross-section of the cable should be
A
$$3.28\,c{m^2}$$
B
$$2.38\,c{m^2}$$
C
$$0.328\,c{m^2}$$
D
$$8.23\,c{m^2}$$
Answer :
$$3.28\,c{m^2}$$
Given, the breaking strength of cable $${f_u} = 7 \times {10^7}\,N/{m^2}$$
The force carried by the cable,
$$F = m\left( {g + a} \right) = 2000\left( {9.8 + 1.5} \right) = 22600\,N$$
The area of cross-section, $$A = \frac{F}{{{f_u}}} = \frac{{22600}}{{7 \times {{10}^7}}}$$
$$ = 3.28 \times {10^{ - 4}}\,{m^2}.$$

The following four wires are made of the same material. Which of these will have the largest extension when the same tension is applied?
A
$$length=50\,cm, \,\,diameter=0.5 \,mm$$
B
$$length = 100 \,cm, \,\,diameter= 1 \,mm$$
C
$$length= 200 \,cm, \,\,diameter= 2 \,mm$$
D
$$length=300 \,cm, \,\,diameter =3 \,mm$$
Answer :
$$length=50\,cm, \,\,diameter=0.5 \,mm$$
$$Y = \frac{{\frac{T}{A}}}{{\frac{{\Delta \ell }}{\ell }}}\,\,\, \Rightarrow \Delta \ell = \frac{{T \times \ell }}{{A \times Y}} = \frac{T}{Y} \times \frac{\ell }{A}$$
Here, $$\frac{T}{Y}$$ is constant. Therefore, $$\Delta \ell \propto \frac{\ell }{A}.$$
$$\frac{\ell }{A}$$ is largest in the first case.

B
