Pressure gradient in the horizontal dire...

Pressure gradient in the horizontal direction in a static fluid is represented by (z-direction is vertically upwards, and x-axis is along horizontal, d is density of fluid):

A

`(delp)/(delz) = -dg`

B

`(delg)/(delg) = dg`

C

`(delp)/(delx) = 0`

D

`(delp)/(delz) = 0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, C
In a static fluid, pressure remains same at the same level, ie, pressure do not very with `x-`coordinate Hence `(C)`.

At a height of 15 m from ground velocity of a projectile is v = (10hati+ 10hatj) . Here hatj is vertically upwards and hati is along horizontal direction then (g = 10 ms^(-1) )

A particle having a mass of 10^(-2) kg carries a charge of 5 xx 10^(-8) C . The particle is given an initial horizontal velocity of 10^(5) msec^(-1) in the presence of electric field vec(E) and magnetic field vec(B) . To keep the particle moving in a horizontal direction, it is necessary that A. vec(B) should be perpendicular to the direction of velocity and vec(E) should be along the direction of velocity B. Both vec(B) and vec(E) should be along the direction of velocity C. Both vec(B) and vec(E) are mutually perpendicular and perpendicular to the direction of velocity D. vec(B) should be along the direction of velocity and vec(E) should be perpendicular to the direction of velocity
