To determine which of the given options would be best represented using a histogram, we need to analyze each option based on whether the data can be grouped into intervals. A histogram is used to represent continuous data that can be divided into intervals or ranges. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Option (a): The number of letters for different areas in a postman’s bag.** - **Analysis:** The data here represents distinct areas, and we cannot create intervals from these areas. Each area is a separate category, and we cannot group them into ranges. - **Conclusion:** A histogram cannot be used for this data. ...

Fluids at rest exert a normal force to the walls of the container or to the sruface of the body immersed in the fluid. The pressure exerted by this force at a point inside the liqid is the sum of atmospheric pressure and a factor which depends on the density of the liquid, the acceleration due to gravity and the height of the liquid, above that point. The upthrust acting on a body immersed in a stationary liquid is the net force acting on the body in the upward direction. A number of phenomenon of liquids in motion can be explain by Bernoulli's theorem which relates the pressure, flow speed and height for flow of an ideal incompressible fluid.
