A water clock consist of a vessel which has a small orifice O. The upper contaienr is filled with water which trickless down into the lower contaienr. The shape of the (upper or lower) contaienr is such that height of water in the upeer container changes at a uniform rate. What should be the shape of the container? Assume that atmospheric air can enter inside the lower container through a hole in it taht the upper container is open at the top. Vessel is axially symmetric.

A cylindrical vessel of height 500mm has an orifice (small hole) at its bottom. The orifice is initially closed and water is filled in it up to height H. Now the top is completely sealed with a cap and the orifice at the bottom is opened. Some water comes out from the orifice and the water level in the vessel becomes steady with height of water column being 200mm. Find the fall in height(in mm) of water level due to opening of the orifice. [Take atmospheric pressure =1.0xx10^5N//m^2 , density of water=1000kg//m^3 and g=10m//s^2 . Neglect any effect of surface tension.]

A tube of uniform cross section is used to siphon water from a vessel V as shown in the figure. The pressure over the open end of water in the vessel is atmospheric pressure (P_(0)) . The height of the tube above and below the water level in the vessel are h_(1) and h_(2) , respectively. Determine the velocity v_(B) of the water issuing out at B .

A tank with a small orifice contains oil on top of water. It is immersed in a large tank of the same oil. Water flows through the hole. Assuming the level of oil outside the tank above orifice does not change. a. What is the velocity of this flow initially? b. When the flow stops, what would be the position of the oil-water interface in the tank? c. Determine the time at which the flow stops. Density,of oil 800kg//m^(3) .

A thermocol vessel contains 0.5kg of distilled water at 30^(@)C . A metal coil of area 5 xx 10^(-3) m^(2) , number of turns 100 , mass 0.06 kg and resistance 1.6 Omega is lying horizontally at the bottom of the vessel. A uniform time-varying magnetic field is set up to pass vertically through the coil at time t = 0 . The field is first increased from zero to 0.8 T at a constant rate between 0 and 0.2 s and then decreased to zero at the same rate between 0.2 and 0.4s . the cycle is repeated 12000 times. Make sketches of the current through the coil and the power dissipated in the coil as function of time for the first two cycles. Clearly indicate the magnitude of the quantities on the axes. Assumes that no heat is lost to the vessel or the surroundings. Determine the final tempreture of water under thermal equilibrium. Specific heat of metal = 500 j kg^(-1) K^(-1) and the specific heat of water = 4200 j kg^(-1) K^(-1) . Neglect the inductance of coil.

Ravi was performing some experiements related to the laws of chemical combination in the science laboratory under the guidance of his chemistry teacher Mr. John. Ravi found that when he burned 1 gram of hydrogen gas in 8 grams of oxygen gas in a closed vessel, he obtained 9 grams of water. He repeated this experiment many times but obtained the same results every time (a) Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen to form water. Also write the names of all the substances involved below their formulae in the equation (b) What are the reactants and products in the above reaction ? (c) Which law of chemical combination is illustrated by the fact that when Ravi burned 1g of hydrogen in 8g of oxygen, he obtained 9g of water ? (d) What mass of water will be obtained if 1g of hydrogen is burned in 10g of oxygen ? Which law of chemical combination will govern your answer ? (e) What values are displayed by Ravi in this episode ?
