A farmer connects a pipe of internal diameter 20 cm from a canal into a cylindrical tank in her field which is 10 m in diameter and 2 m deep. If water flows through the pipe at the rate of 3 km// h, in how much time will the tank be filled ?

Selvi's house has an overhead tank in the sphase of a cylinder. This is filled by pumping water from a sump (an underground tank) which is in the shape of a cuboid. The sump has dimensions 1.57 mxx1.44m xx95 cm . The overhead tank has its radius 60cm and height 95 cm. Find the hieght of the water left in the sump after the overhead tank has been completely filled with water from the sump which had been full. Compare the capacity of the tank with that of the sump (Use pi=3.14)

A boy playing on the roof of a 10 m high building throws a ball with a speed of 10 m//s at an angle of 30(@) with the horizontal. How far from the throwing point will the ball be at the height of 10 m from the ground ? [ g = 10m//s^(2) , sin 30^(@) = (1)/(2) , cos 30^(@) = (sqrt(3))/(2)]

Water is drained from a vertical cylindrical tank by opening a valve at the base of the tank. It is known that the rate at which the water level drops is proportional to the square root of water depth y , where the constant of proportionality k >0 depends on the acceleration due to gravity and the geometry of the hole. If t is measured in minutes and k=1/(15), then the time to drain the tank if the water is 4 m deep to start with is (a) 30 min (b) 45 min (c) 60 min (d) 80 min

The human ciculatory system can be thought of as a closed system of interconnecting pipes through which fluid is continuously circulated by two pumps the two pumps the right and left verticles of the heart, work as simple two-stroke force pumps. The muscles of the heart regulate the force by contracting and relaxing. the contraction (systole) lasts about 0.2s and a complete systole/diastole (contraction/relaxation) cycle lasts about 0.8s. For flood pressures and speeds in the normal range. the volume flow rate of blood through a blood vessel is directly proportional tot he pressure difference over a length of the vessel and to the fourth power of the radius of the vessel. The total mechanical energy per unit volume of blood just as it leaves the heart is E//V=rhogh+P+rhov^(2) Q. What is the gravitational potential energy of 8cm^(3) of blood in a 1.8 m tall man, in a blood vessel 0.3 m above his heart? (Note: The man's blood pressure is 1.3xx10^(4)N//m^(2) )

A horizontal cylinderical tank (6)/(pi)m in diameter is half full of water. The space above the water is filled with a pressurized gas of unknown refractive index. A small laser can move along the curved bottom of the water and aims a light beam towards the centre of the water surface. When the laser has moved a distance s=1m or more (measured from curved face) from the lowest point in water, no light enters the gas. The refractive index of gas is (mu_("water") = 4//3)
