In an experiment mileage of a car was measured to be `24 kmpl` (Kilometer per liter of fuel consumed). After the experiment it was found that `4 %` of the fuel used during the experiment was leaked through a small hole in the tank. Calculate the actual mileage of the car after the tank was repaired.

A car manufacturer usually tells a optimum speed (V_(0)) at which the car should be driven to get maximum mileage. In order to find the optimum speed for a new model, an engineer of the car company experimented a lot and finally plotted a graph between the extreme time t (defined as number of hours a tank full of petrol lasts) vs the constant speed V at which car was run. (a) Calculate the optimum speed V0 for this new model. (b) If the fuel tank capacity of this car is 50 litre, what maximum mileage can be obtained from this car?

Amit travelled back to home in a car, after visiting his friend in a distant village. When started at his friend's house the car had exactly 18 litres of petrol in it. He travelled along at steady 40 kilometres per hour and managed 10 kilometres per litre of petrol. As the car was old, the fuel tank lost fuel at the rate of half a litre per hour. Amit was lucky as his car stopped just in from of his home because it had run out of fuel and he only just made it. How far was it from his friend's home to Amit's home? 150\ k m b. \ 170\ k m c. 180\ k m d. none of these

Water leaks out from an open tank through a hole of area 2mm^2 in the bottom. Suppose water is filled up to a height of 80 cm and the area of cross section of the tankis 0.4 m^2 . The pressure at the open surface and the hole are equal to the atmospheric pressure. Neglect the small velocity of the water near the open surface in the tank. a. Find the initial speed of water coming out of the hole. b. Findteh speed of water coming out when half of water has leaked out. c. Find the volume of water leaked out during a time interval dt after the height remained is h. Thus find the decrease in height dh in term of h and dt. d. From the result of part c. find the time required for half of the water to leak out.
