3. | \(\dfrac{vR^2}{n^3r^2}\) | 4. | \(\dfrac{v^2R}{nr}\) |
The heart of a man pumps 5 L of blood through the arteries per minute at a pressure of 150 mm of mercury. If the density of mercury is \(13.6\times 10^3\)kg/m3 and g =10 m/s2, then the power of heart in watt is:
1. 1.70
2. 2.35
3. 3.0
4. 1.50
Water rises to a height h in capillary tube . If the length of capillary tube above the surface of water is made less than h, then
(1) water rises upto the tip of capillary tube and then starts overflowing like a fountain
(2) water rises upto the top of capillary tube and stays there without overflowing
(3) water rises upto a point a little below the top and stays there
(4) water does not rise at all
A certain number of spherical drops of a liquid of radius r coalesce to form a single drop of radius R and volume V. If T is the surface tension of the liquid, then:\(\text { Energy }=4 V T\left(\frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R}\right) \text { is released } \)
1. | Energy = \(4 V T\left(\frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R}\right)\) is released | 2. | Energy =\(3 V T\left(\frac{1}{r}+\frac{1}{R}\right)\) is released |
3. | Energy =\(3 V T\left(\frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R}\right)\) is released | 4. | Energy is neither released nor absorbed |
