An open pan P filled with water (density `rho_m`) is placed on one side of the pan as shown. If water depth is more then height of the block, then choose the correct statement.

A

Equilibrium will be maintained only if `rho lt rho_w.`

B

Equilibrium will be maintained only `rho le rho_w.`

C

Equilibrium will be maintained for all relation between `rho and rho_w.`

D

Equilibrium will not be maintained in all cases.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
(b) As long as `rho le rho_w,` pressure at the bottom of the pan would be same everywhere, according to the Pascal's law.

A tank with vertical walls is monted so that its base is at height of 1.2 m above the horizotnal ground. The tank is filled with water to depth 2.8 m. A holw is punched in the side wall of the tank at a depth x m below the surface of water to have maximum range of the emerging stream. then the value of x in metre is

A cylindrical tank has a hole of diameter 2r in its bottom. The hole is covered wooden cylindrical block of diameter 4r, height h and density rho//3 . Situation I: Initially, the tank is filled with water of density rho to a height such that the height of water above the top of the block is h_1 (measured from the top of the block). Situation II: The water is removed from the tank to a height h_2 (measured from the bottom of the block), as shown in the figure. The height h_2 is smaller than h (height of the block) and thus the block is exposed to the atmosphere. Find the minimum value of height h_1 (in situation 1), for which the block just starts to move up?
