A small sphere of mass m is dropped from a height. After it has fallen 100 m, it has attained its terminal velocity and continues to fall at that speed. The work done by air friction against the sphere during the first 100 m of fall is :-

MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

Water filled in an empty tank of area 10 A through a tap of cross sectional area A.The speed of water flowing out of tap is given by v ( m/s)=101-sinπ30t where 't' is in seconds. The height of water level from the bottom of the tank at t=15 second will be:

MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

Two drops of equal radius are falling through air with a steady velocity of 5 cm sec-1. If the two drops coalesce, then its terminal velocity will be :-

EASY
IMPORTANT

A copper ball of radius 'r' travels with a uniform speed ' v ' in a viscous fluid. If the ball is changed with another ball of radius ' 2r ', then new uniform speed will be :-

MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

Two liquids of densities d1 and d2 are flowing in identical capillaries under same pressure difference. If t1 and t2 are the time taken for the flow of equal quantities of liquids, then the ratio of coefficients of viscosities of liquids must be :-

A small  sphere starts falling form a very large height and after falling a distance of 100m it attains the terminal velocity and continues to fall with this velocity. The work done by the atmosphere during the first fall of 100m is:

EASY

If the terminal speed of a sphere of Gold (density=19.5 kg m-3) is 0.2 m s-1 in a viscous liquid (density=1.5 kg m-3), find the terminal speed of a sphere of Silver (density=10.5 kg m-3) of the same size in the same liquid.

A spherical ball of radius 3.0×104 m and density 104 kg m-3 falls freely under gravity through a distance h before entering a tank of water. If after entering the water the velocity of the ball does not change, find h. Viscosity of water is 9.8×106 N s m-2. [g= 9.8 m s-2, ρw=1000 kg m-3]
